international F-2674 logging truck

[bitner]

This is the newest logging truck in the fleet. I used the first issue of the F-2674 tractor from ERTL, and misc parts from an AMT Peerless trailer, plus some cast metal parts that my dad made for me, namely the headache rack. I added a 5' stinger to the end of the frame from Evergreen styrene. The truck is painted using Tamiya camel yellow, British green and Testors flat white. I made the decals for Malloch Logging out of Mesachie Lake B.C.

Man you sure have an eye for detailed trucks. the look is so perfect. That would be great in a dio scene. Very realistic. Job well done.

Thanks guys:

Bill, I usually just use the tubing that comes in the kits. Also, thin solder also works quite well. Dylan, I actually still have three more of these, I have two of the dump trucks and another strait tractor in the closet to use on future builds. I usually just bide my time and one will shoe up on Ebay cheap.
