gamevender Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 This kit has been sitting started in my stash for literally years. With my current covid confinement, I pulled it out and finished it off. It's OOTB with the exception of hollowing out the trailer ramps and chocks as I have seen in photos. Makes it more interesting I think. I also added all the stowage to fill up all that space in the back of the truck and on the trailer and the glazing in the truck windows. Left the driver side one part way down. Kit was typical Matchbox. Detail was a bit mushy and fit was problematic in places. But it's the only injection molded one in this scale, so it's your only choice. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Great job. If you don't mind me saying, something that would improve it a lot would be to replace the mirror arms with some thin rod or wire. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamevender Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Yeah, I agree about the mirror arms. Right now they look like large iron pipes, but it was the end of the build when they were added and it was only destined for my shelf, so I begged off changing them as I headed into a another project. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 A very neat and crisp build. This and the Char B were the only Matchbox 1/76 vehicle sets I didn't make as a lad. You've done it proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
