Diamond Reo

[Rbray47]

I deviated from the box a little bit this time. I wanted to build it the way I would like to have a 1:1 set up, except I would need a flatbed for farm use. Maybe I'll add that later after I restock my styrene. 

Paint is Tamiya Pearl Green and Tamiya black.

I always like these Reo’s. Great work.

Looks good.  I took the flat bed off the Ford COE stake truck kit for my Reo, put a searchlight on the bed.

Sharp looking rig!

I love the look of old school Diamond Reos - you’ve done a really nice job here Randy. The small touches like your clean window gasket painting really make it pop. Well done!

Beautiful Diamond Rio!

Beautiful truck. Very nice. Love the hood ornament.

That is absolutely beautiful! I really love that green. I used it on a 56 Ford pickup, and it's probably my favorite build.

Very nice.

Thanks for the kind words!

I took some more pics without the bright sun and dark shade.

I tried my hand at detailing the engine. Every Cummins 350 I Google looked slightly different. So I just took what I saw and added what I thought fit the best. The headache rack is from the Alaskan Hauler with a top bar added on. I also cut out the door glass and made the mudflaps and weights.

Thanks!

Wheels are all Moebius. The fronts are from the super singles pack.
