GMC water tank truck

Post by B61 MACK »

Ya started this one this afternoon its a ITALERI kit.
Its a GMC water tank truck in 1/35 scale.
A while ago I read a article in a magazine about this one built up a water tanker after the war forgot were I put the magazine, A lot were used by Fire Departments and for Civilian.
I know of one that was used as a Bush Fire Tanker here in the Valley it was slow going to fires and mainly used to top up other trucks tank.
Will use flat colours on it and weather it up.

Which they printed the instruction sheet a little larger, Even with glass on have to really watch what one is doing and its hard to read yes! magnify the numbers on the trees is a lot harder been in a dark plastic colour. yes!

Always impressed how much detail they cant put into the 1/35 kits.
Look forward to seeing it completed Allan.

You can say that again got one from Ireland and it has a lot of parts too.
Also got a AOSHIMA 1/32 FUSO Dump truck that has a lot of parts and it a far better kit then 1/25-25 Truck kits.
