Barris Ice Cream Truck

[Silvercreeker]

Barris Ice Cream Truck is done. This was an actual show car I saw back in the glory of the show car days. This kit/mold is almost 60 years old, which made for a tedious 5-week build.  Basically, a box stock build with added engine details and all suspension was pinned.  Color is Tamiya mix of Mica red and Pure orange.  White is Tamiya racing white.  Clear is Mr. Color aqua clear.  Ken’s fuzzy fur carpet and all kit chrome was stripped and redone in Alclad Chrome. Enjoy.

The small one is from Johnny Lighting.

That has to be one of the best builds of that Kit, I've ever seen.

Very cool build. I think this is the first one of these I've seen built. Nicely done.
