Warren D Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 My take on the movie truck from "Convoy". I started with the AITM resin kit and made some changes. I altered the aircleaner, made new fuel tanks/steps, added the am/fm antenna, added CB antennas, scratch built the mirror brackets, scratch built the air deflector supports. The chrome is a combo of BMF and Molotow liquid chrome. I added clearance lights to the sleeper. Paint is Testor's Aztek gloss black with several coats of Pollyscale clear over. Mudflaps came from Auslowe with kit supplied decals. The photos have dust, forgot to clean it first but black is tough, it shows everything!

If Dave is out of stock, let him know you want one. Just be aware it's not cheap.....but much better to start with than the old ERTL kit.

Warren D Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I know the fifth wheel looks too far back, but if you watch the movie, it's almost off the back of the truck. Guess you can do that with a shell trailer in a movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
