I don't remember where I got this partial built & painted kit years ago. Finally decided to do something with it to get the juices flowing again. Chassis & engine were already flat black, I dull coated the chrome items & resprayed the flat black. Gonna be gravel trailer puller that's had a rough life. Colors will be gold cab with dark red stripes & primer. Interior, tanks & hubs are Testors dark red using flat black as a base coat. Dull coated rear wheels, bumper & right front wheel were left chrome, even a beater's gota have a little bling LOL. Comments welcome.

I always loved this rugged lookin truck and they are going to re-release it soon . I think your dash with the gauges is up side down . Keep at it mate .

Finally making progress again, the cab is just mocked up on it. I decided to pass on the stripes. Our hero's depth/height perception is lacking, as evidenced by the stack angles. Trees, power lines, etc. "A Bunch" - Stacks "0" . Also, after replacing the previously damaged bumper, Super Driver tweaked it again. This time he repaired it himself with a flame wrench. (1 size fits all)It was suggested by a friend that it looked like a certain type of "house", so hand painted lettering was applied to the rear sleeper window blanks with a old red coach light in the center. Not much money, but the poor boy driver has a sense of humor at least.

Bandit, the decals weren't salvagable, sorry.

Scummy, I noticed the dash/guage panel was upside down, but whoever built this originally apparently welded it in & I was gonna tear things up trying to correct it. I've got a new kit, that I'll make sure is right. I tried debonder & the freezer & some parts just would'nt give.
