JohnHaa Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Dear modellers, I like to present you my first attempt to build a classic truck in scratch. I had some experience with kit models, but most of them were modern trucks. So in January 2015 I had gathered enough courage and information ..🙂.. to start building my first one. I choose this model, because I found, surprisingly, much information, brochures etc. at the Internet. How I managed you can see here: https://modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=44523&sid=5959da9cdd103d06dfa9bf2651f9c26e Well here are the results, I hope you enjoy the photographs, Best regards, JohnHaa 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Hi John - I didn't know you're in the truck business 🙂. That's one beautiful model. Nicely built and perfectly finished, as I'd expect from you. I love every model from the twenties and thirties, not matter what category. Thanks for showing this! Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
