She's a beauty Phill! Looks like she needs a good layer of mud around her tires and underside. How much of this is a conversion?

Jeremy ,,well let me try to remember lol ,think i build this like 15 years ago ..could be more but any how .. the Hiab is from a 1/24 scale Italeri truck accessories set and the truck is the Italeri 5ton cargo truck ,, the cargo bed was cut down to fit ..the operators chair and mount are scratch built as is all the hydraulic hoses ,,the legs for the outriggers were made longer and the outrigger feet were custom made ..the entire Hiab folds up and locks into the cargo bed ,,was one of those spur of the moment things ..to this day i have liked how it turned out
When it was built i do remember that this was one of the first models i ever tried dry brushing and ya i think its pretty good lol
