GMC General (AMT)

[eagle2159]

Hello everyone.

Found a few months ago on Ebay this model GMC General.

The model had been started (bad job) and in poor condition, after a laborious disassembly and cleaning, I began a reconstruction model.

For the moment the result is quite correct, I just finished painting the body with my airbrush ....... I still have work to finish the model.

That looks really nice. Are those wider tires I see on the front? I like the paint scheme, too. Very 1980s. If I remember correctly, the fit on this kit is really terrible, but it look like you've overcome the fit issues.

Always nice to have craftsman give new life to a model.

I agree--that scheme fits the truck perfectly.

WOW!!! You have done a fantastic job on this kit. I always marvel at someone that has the ability to take a pile of junk, take it all apart and put it back together the way it should have been built in the first place. You have a lot of skill and patience to be able to do what you do. Love the work, great job!

[Paul B]

Very nice. I like the paint job.

[freightshaker]

Thats a great build. Its a good solid looking truck with some gripper tires on the back. I like your airbrushing. Nice Stripes.

the trailer starts to take shape, a little patience !!!!!

[highway]

Very nice job on the General and nice start to the trailer.

[truckmech]

I love your general it brings back memories of when I worked on them

Thanks.

That is sweet. I am kind of partial to the desert colr paint job (looks like saddle, gold and burnt orange) might have to try that.

[Jim B]

Looking really nice. I'm really loving the paint job.

If you want to use the log trailer, you really should add abot 2ft to the rear of the frame.

And why is that??? I live in the South ours don't look that way. At one time the Phone company used something like a poll trailer,you know I haven't see those in some time as well.

[Jim B]

Something about allowing the trailer to turn properly. At least that's what people who know a heck of a lot more about logging trailers that I do told me. Maybe it's just a Pacific Northwest thing. The log trucks around here don't use trailers.

looking good bud way to turn a glue bomb into the bomb!

[eagle2159]

The assembly of different parts of the trailer are finished, now it's paint, the color will be gray smoke

[Jim B]

I like it. The steel truss is a nice idea. Don't see that all that often.
