Ford LTL 9000 and race car hauler

[Bbo1974]

Im not sure if this should go in the NASCAR section or here.  This is my first try at a big rig model, I typically build race car models but this was the intersection of the two.  I enjoyed this build, it was a nice change from the normal and I had to do a good deal of research to see what colors should be and how parts go together.  I used the AMT/Italeri truck kit and I thought the level of detail and the fit of parts was great.  The AMT car hauler gave me a few fits and there are some things I would definitely do different if I did it again, but I like the looks of it all on a shelf with my cars.  After I finish my Bill Elliott projects I may circle back and build another truck just for fun!

Beautiful combination. Very well done. The LTL9000 is a great looking Ford.

Very nice.  Those Ford heavy trucks of that era were some of the best looking trucks ever.   I have thought about this kit but the price tag has kept me away. I may have to bite the bullet and pick one up.

If that is your first truck, take a bow ! Super nice job, I really like what you did and am hoping you get the truck bug and do another. Really clean build. Looks great !

I thought the same thing about the price.  I had several that I was watching on ebay but they were too pricey.  I finally got a special offer from one seller that put it in my price range.
