Hi Dave,

Let me be the first to congratulate you, a really cool truck. I like the odd headlights, nice yellow tint, like the waters got into one. In fact the whole truck looks great, like it's seen a bit of service. The blistering metal is just right for a well used vehicle and the random packing of the load just right for it's journey over rough and uneven ground.

Way to go Dave, thanks for posting this Vinnie.

Excellent model GOM. Any chance of a rundown of the kit manufacturer, scale, special tweaks.

Cheers

What did you use for the hardtop? Resin kit? Italeri deuce cab?

Nice job

This is one of the new resin kits out of Brazil. There is a review of it in the reviews section.

Nice job Dave.

Cheers

Hi dave that is a great build all of which brings together a most interesting and natural looking truck going about it duties.

I sometimes think that wheeled vehicles are more difficult to get to look natural and you have captured it to a tee.

The kit was a bear to make, but eventually turned into becoming fun... :-)
Marcos has told me an all new updated mold is being made.
