The 'Wrecker'

[tiking]

This is an old man F90 Commander Kit from Italeri which I bought on eBay for about 1.5 years ago. Some parts were missing, especially the instructions but got help Nick(thanks Nick), who kindly scanned another version of the F90, which had more or less similar building design.

I decided to deviate from the kit's original finish kit, as usual, and do something different. This building, I called the "Wrecker". This is a private owner's modification that resulted in what you see now. I still have little left to add such as, adding horns, the owner's sign and a little more 'weathering'.

Hope you like the results.

I like any truck that has a crane on it. Nice build.

If you hadn't displayed it as you did, and if you hadn't said it was a kit, I wouldn't have been able to tell it from an actual truck. That's some excellent modeling.

Thanks for looking guys. Appreciate the comments.

Man, this thing needs a wash, badly! It looks like it spent winter without a cleaning. Very convincing weathering! Not too much, just right. Great job!

[tiking]

Thanks guys. Wash?!!! Nejjjj. It looks just fine.

Tiking Hi,

One more fine detailed truck model. The weathering is amasing and the truck looks like a realy hard working mule.

I saw this build on the TMW forum a few days ago and by the way I would like to say my congratulations also for the fine Daf boat mover. You should put this build also here.

Kostas.

Very nice work on this one. I like the weathering and the added accessories, they really make it all work. Also, did the boom arm come with that kit or from another<
