Mountain Mover

 

Tom Daniel, ~1972, ~1/32

Huge off road trucks are a gas!

 

The first really big one Tom Daniel ever saw was one built by Euclid (a subsidiary of GM), back in the late '50's, which had the dump bed filled with water and acting as a swimming pool.

 

By today's standards that monster would be considered puny!

 

The Mountain Mover, was part of the Snap Tite construction vehicle series...

 

These kits were only produced in 1972 and have never been re-issued, so they are kind of hard to find.

 

This is my version, a few small changes and a new base, hope, you like it!

Thank you very much for the kind words! B)

Love it. Was it a Tom Daniel kit? Don't remember seeing this before.

Yes, this is Tom's design, as mentioned above, and, yes, the kit was 42 years in the box... ;)
