James, you've done a smashing job on that kit. Excellent.

Gorgeous! Real nice limber truck.
Nice details like the tools in the back.
I love the tires; how did you made them so 'used' and 'weighted' ?

What kit was this, Monogram?

I would love to see this one in person. The shine on the 1st couple of photos turned me off at first. Mixing the gloss with the mud was to exteem. BUT, you have the close up shots that show the delicate dusting you Do have in there. Fantastic.

The subject is not your normal go fast type so it was fun to see on that aspect alone, then your skill really brings this one to life. Well done.

Beautiful work. I wish a full sized version of this one was sitting in my drive way.

This is a very well done build. The weathering is really outstanding, and there are lots of nice small detail touches present.

As an aside - and not to detract from a fine model - I believe that the hood/grille side panels (the ones that are molded integrally with the fenders in the kit) are actually supposed to be upper body color, not fender color.

The first picture on this page will show you what I mean.

I'm currently working on this kit and I'll have to say that your finished truck is quite an inspiration.
