Another beauty from Milo. Great work! Milo, I am getting so used to seeing your models, I can almost tell which ones are yours without even looking at the user name! LOL Great job again!

A seriously impressive looking kit , looks like a great job all round and in a nice setting to show the vehicle off.
Nice one.

Nice to see another fine example of your work in the On Display area Milo, this one's got a lot of detail to look at and the base setting sets it off perfectly.

Miloslav, I can't tell you enough how cool this model is. After WW2, my father returned to his native Newport Kentucky and ran the family scrap metal operation. They couldn't afford much in the way of equipment but he was able to buy US Army surplus vehicles including this wrecker. They used the boom for all sorts of lifting jobs and also as a mobile cutting torch platform. As a child growing up in the 50's, I can remember riding in the cab of this vehicle with the Foreman. Thanks for posting this. Great build!!

Really, really nice. It's so nice to see something you don't see every day. As others have said the base sets it off perfectly. Great work.

Absolutely superb work. Not only is the presentation nicely 'weathered', but the rather simple setting is elegantly done as well.
Nice work Miloslav

It is great to see a subject that isn't of the usual Tiger,Panther,Sherman genre. Beautiful job!
