The Modeling Hermit Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 This is my current build. I backdated AMTs Ford C cab to the 58-60 era. I should say mostly, as after it was too late to fix things without major work, I discovered a couple of things that didn't show up until 1968, but I'll just live with them. I chose to use and alter the AMT Fruehauf tanker trailer for this one just because I thought it looked impressive. When I get back to it I'll add plumbing for road watering. It already has an interesting past. When I first built started it was going to be a semi tractor, then I decided that it would be a wrecker, then it was going to be a farm grain truck, and that was followed by a local fuel delivery truck, onto end as a road watering truck.
cavespeedway Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 would make a great water truck for my slotcar track.
The Modeling Hermit Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 I managed to post it in the wrong place. I thought sure I was putting it in the "under galss" section. That's what happens when one does things when they're very tired. LOL
BigBad Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 There you go! Sometimes, inspiration comes when you're actually working on a piece, just like sculptors!
The Modeling Hermit Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 I finally broke down and finished this poor thing. Now it's ready to go to work knocking down the dust on Iowa's gravel roads.
Brinx Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Love it! I really like the way you put the colors together, really nice.
Chuck Most Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Love it. A local propane company had a similar paint scheme on their tankers for many years.
Superpeterbilt Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Great looking rig. I always like to see the versatility of the trucks. Both the kit, and the real thing.
