  3. The belly tanker was scratch built...using the 1/32 scale drop tank from a Trumpeter P-38 Lightning model kit. The truck is a Pyro '30 Model A pick up, the trailer an Aurora Hot Rod and Show Car trailer...both 1/32 kits from the 60's. Lots and lots of parts box pieces involved.

    Another custom truck from the parts I got a couple years ago,it's a shortened 62 F100 unibody,built with no chassis so it's getting one from a 56 F100 that has been shortened. IMG_20250503_192407755.jpg IMG_20250504_161736844.jpg

    that's coming along beautifully.

    the Revell kits of my youth beat me into submission every time.

    There are definitely some very fragile little bits on these show rods! I didn't have the patience for them until I was in my twenties! Haha!

    Almost done. Turns out I have Roth fever, so I started bodywork on the road agent. Revell used pink for the bubble in the reissue, when originally it was orange, so I had to find an original kit and will spray the bubble with a transparent orange. 20250512_223657.jpg 20250512_211127.jpg
