Start on a 1/25 scale AMT mid-60s era Autocar-Diesel DC-9964 semitractor, backdated from the 1972 or so DC-9964B dump truck/road tractor 2-in-1 kit currently available and manufactured by Round2 Models from the classic superdetail kit tooling.
Camel Trophy Yellow and satin black paint is aged and rusted lightly, black band around cab/hood is hand painted and aged, interior will be pretty basic with an open cubby for the glove compartment, rusty dash face and detailed gauges/switches, and seats will be ragged out to match what I already have of the interior. Vintage style cloisonné hood badges were made in MS Paint and printed/cut out, grille dechromed/detailed, and a parts bin CB head unit will go above the driver.

Parts bin logging headache rack/running lights are on the cab back and will be aged to suit, engine will be an 8V71 Detroit Diesel in used condition with the transmission made to look like a recent swap in.

I'm building this as a beaten-up old semi truck... this is a 27ft trailmobile dry van done up to go with this truck. Mudflaps will be covered or distressed, tires are 4 different mismatch units
