Ron Bell Posted May 2, 2020 Report Posted May 2, 2020 This kit has been sitting started in my stash for literally years. With my current covid confinement, I pulled it out and finished it off. It's OOTB with the exception of hollowing out the trailer ramps and chocks as I have seen in photos. Makes it more interesting I think. I also added all the stowage to fill up all that space in the back of the truck and on the trailer and the glazing in the truck windows. Left the driver side one part way down. Kit was typical Matchbox. Detail was a bit mushy and fit was problematic in places. But it's the only injection molded one in this scale, so it's your only choice.
Nick Filippone Posted May 2, 2020 Report Posted May 2, 2020 Ron, I have that kit and it has been calling to me too. Looks great as have all your recent builds. Regards, Nick
Bennetts Posted May 3, 2020 Report Posted May 3, 2020 Looks great. I really enjoy seeing the vintage kits being built OOB at your skill level. Encourages me to get up the courage to bring down some of the old ones from the stash and give them a try.
Mark Deliduka Posted June 11, 2020 Report Posted June 11, 2020 Wow, that is magnificent work Ron! I built one of these before too, it certainly didn't achieve this level of excellence. I do want to get a couple more to make with other countries markings.
