I didn't notice that either, It's an old auroura kit of the hunchback of Notre Dame for 1963! I have a few old figure kits, not only trucks! It DOES look like he's taking a dump!

Looking nice, if you can actually say that about the H-series! Are you going to put the 534 SD V8 from the C900 kit in it or are you going to put an old Cummins in it? Eiter way, it's coming along nicely. Looks like your front tires are rubbing, though.
Did you ever get that photo-etch from Harold?

I think I'm going to use the engine from the C900 kit. I thought I had an old Cummins but I don't. Harold never got back with me about the photoetch parts. Oh well. The front axle isn't glued on, it's just sitting there, it's pushed over to the left. I might change the tires, they are quite big for the cab. Thanks for the comment s guys!

I think the front rims should be chrome. Might add some details to it. But looks great either way john!

Looking nice, if you can actually say that about the H-series! I agree that as a design the Ford H was, well, not the greatest to look at. It's odd look makes me want to build it, though. But I do give Ford credit. It was pretty resourceful of them to take an existing cab, fill in the wheelwells and add sheetmetal along the bottom, making a whole different model in a different weight category. It's too bad the sleeper for this truck isn't available anymore in resin. |

I used a frame from an Astro. The cab was from Sourkrauts. Thanks for the comments everyone!!!
