Here is the next one on the bench. It is another 359 Revell kit. This one will be a single drive bobtail delivery truck.

I will have more in progress pics tonight. This is been a fun project. These snap kits by Revell are great for doing kit bashing and scratch. The cost is inexpensive ($18.00) so it doesn't hurt the wallet have some fun.

Here is my 359 Pete, Asian Market delivery truck. From the pics I have to go over some of the paint on the hood(bonnet). My paint still sucks!!! :oops: I built the cargo box as a refrigerated box with a thermal king chiller. I decided to go with one fuel tank and one exhaust stack this time, Hope you like it.

Thanks. I have built a couple of double drive bob tails and decided this time to go with the single with single stack.

It must be something in the water in Florida. Justin (keeperofsouls) builds fully detailed aircraft kits in 2 or 3 days just like you crank out these awsome trucks. Ya'll ain't the same person are you?

Nice one Dave
