Old John Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Having previously built a European wrecker Which has the exact same rear portion I decided to extend this by 2 ins. A great 10 part video is on Dansmodelworx U tube site.I kept loosely to the kit paint job as this was the thing that 1st attracted me to the kit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old John Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 The extension also required the re modelling & lengthening of the boom which in my opinion looks strange stuck up in the air as per kit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old John Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 The engine is a nice build Caterpillar Yellow. Detail from sleeper cab ,which I admit is a little hard to see when in place. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old John Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Enjoyed the build very much. Some challenge throughout the modification,including decals, but I think the finished item looks good in my display cabinet . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdesaxe Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I love the truck but I think I need to keep my wife, who was born in Santa Fe, from seeing the photographs. She would be upset to find her home town has been relocated from New Mexico to Arizona. Maurice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 A superb build! I love the way you have brought out the realism with paint washes, etc. A super job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old John Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thank you so much. Enjoyed making both trucks.The American wrecker is unusual for me, in that it is pretty clean. I mostly tend to make trucks quite weathered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
