Jürgen M. Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Hi Folks, I promised to post my Revell Peterbilt "Black Magic" truck: I had turned it into a wrecker! My modelling skills as a 16 year old had improved so I stretched the chassis and built a scratch wrecker on top! The crane is made of wood, covered with polystyrol sheet. The generator for the winch is a transmission of an amt PB 359 which I had ruined two years before. (I had tested my skills on that and had failed!) Hope you enjoy it: See the red lights on top of the sleeper? VID_20240321_060914.mp4 I did a lot of electronics stuff back then and thought I'd put a bit of it in this truck. By the way, the hub covers on the rear wheels came from an amt Chevy Nomad 1/16 I think it was. They fit perfectly!

cifenet Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Impressive indeed! You had a great idea and well executed to turn it into a wrecker. I like how you hand wrote signs on the tow lift too. Good job~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
