1966 Ford F-350 WRECKER

[madsven]

Hi guys,

i would like to show you my built of an old wrecker based on a Tamiya tractor-truck chassis with a clear Proline body.

This was my first real scale built and it was starting in August 2015.

Now it looks like this:

It was a long way to look like it is now

Lets start

My base - a 2-wheel-drive tractor-truck chassis from Tamiya

With a clear Proline body

One of the most important things are these rope rolls - later more

The first cut is the deepest - sorry, but I just need the cabin

Fits nearly perfect

Now I need a new cabin wall

Stay tuned :lol:

I am also planning to use bobbins but may borrow what you did with the spring and screws. Quick and easy way to raise and lower boom.
