Guest Johnny Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Lookin' godd, Doug - even though I'm an RC Cola person. Well, if you go to mikes decals he has a decal set for a 72 torino that will have all the RC Cola decals you need to build your favorite beverage truck!

SSNJim Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Is it molded in white? I've seen it in stores, but was hesitant because the Little Red Wagon was molded in red.
mikemodeler Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Just picked this up tonight, glad to see someone has started it and is showing pics. I will probably build it stock and am thinking about finding a second one for using under a Jimmy Flintstone resin van body. Thanks!
doug2013 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Is it molded in white? I've seen it in stores, but was hesitant because the Little Red Wagon was molded in red. ya about every peice of the model is molded in white plastic and theres one tree that is chrome

I will probably build it stock and am thinking about finding a second one for using under a Jimmy Flintstone resin van body. Thanks! ya i think that stock looks better because i just like to build them either over the top custom or just plain and simple so i like this one for that reason its a good classic car
doug2013 Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Looking good so far. thank you and the work ive seen you do is just amazing i love your tow truck
RodneyBad Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Paint is looking Super.. Looks like a great build.. I've seen One at a far away LHS. Should go back at get it after seeing yours. Nice..
rustybill1960 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Nice looking build Man! Really dig the "little" extras your putting into it. Your cleverness at "home supplying" materials is great. I am always looking for "other" items to use as build materials! Thank You for sharing! Later Man Russ
charlie8575 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Neat build. I have one of the Little Red Wagon issues sitting in the basement. That'll be built stock, and may end up being used for a diorama idea I have that'll be coming to the fore quite soon (I hope.) Charlie Larkin
