Well since I stopped by here and made a few replies..I'll post something of mine, this was my first truck build when I started modeling again a dozen yrs. ago, built from the amt reissue.

Love the color. One of my favorites. What did you use for the rear wrecker bed.? Did you kit bash from another kit or did you scratch build it? Either way it is a beauty.

You guys and your lemon trucks... ....nice looking rig. Italeri figure?

That wrecker bed is "kit"...it's the same wrecker bed I'm using for my mack B61 wrecker - mine's just modified for a Holmes twin boom set up.

Nice wrecker. I like the colors. I think I've seen this before, but I'm not sure.

Hey Dave as Bob says it's AMTs Pete wrecker that was rereleased by amt/ertl a few yrs. back..it isn't a bad kit, if I did another I'd narrow the bed. James you might have if you hung out at SA about 7 yrs. ago oh I might mention that these pics were taken after a catastrophic shelf mishap resulting in major damage and a lotta repair work
