Yet another Revell wrecker

[Mike77]

After abandoning my 1/16 wrecker project for the 2nd and probably final time, I decided to come back into the 1/25 fold. This is my first 1/25 project in many years, a Revell wrecker body stretched to accept an extra axle. I considered making it a Lone Star but it'll be a Peterbilt. The frame is red and so far I haven't settled on a color for the rest of it. Who knows, it may end up just being a Big Red Truck!

Looks good so far.

Awesome work, so far, Man....It's gonna look good, Mike and take up less shelf space, to boot.....

Looks good Mike...those front tires looks familiar!

The ones you sent me went on the lift axle. I was able to make an axle that adapted perfectly to the backs of them. Thanks again!

You're off to a good start...very nice!

I decided to do it as a non-opening model and have painted it red. To avoid the inevitable frame sag I attached the wrecker body to the back of the sleeper, leaving a small gap, and now the wrecker body, sleeper, cab, and hood are all one unit that can be attached to the chassis when the rest of the work is done. I haven't assembled the rotator or any of the tow hardware and I've only put some of the chrome on.

Unfortunately for various reasons this project may go the way of my 1/16 wrecker project and get sold or traded off in it's current yet-to-be-finished state. Maybe I just wasn't destined to do a big wrecker in any scale!

that is one big son of a gun! keep going, this will be killer when done!

I did end up putting it on Ebay. I'll probably not get even close to what I have into it but life isn't always about making a profit. I still plan on building model trucks so it's not the end of the world.
