This is the Italeri Areomax 120, heavy haul. scratch built 3406E (one year later CFC did one in resin). The wheels & tires are all old RNK resin, the rear suspension is out of the Autocar dump kit. way too much blue, needs a repaint & rework. But something different. Ap40 Attachments:

I agree with you on the blue. There is to much of it. But, it still looks awesome. You did a great job on it!

I agree with you on the blue. There is to much of it. But, it still looks awesome. You did a great job on it! Both blues are Ford factory colors. the chassis is 1970 Grabber blue & the cab & wheels are 1968 Ford light metallic blue. Ap40

I didn't realize that you had 2 shades of blue. I can't tell it on my monitor. Either way, it is a great looking build and I have never seen one like it.

Right, hence the NEED for a re-work.....
