**pictures enlarged to show detail** ...well...i can't figure out how to resize them so i had to come up with a good excuse.....also i am realizing how much of a nightmare it is to be doing a 1:25th scale truck!..everything is alot smaller, and not too many other models are 1:25th anymore!! which means alot of custom fab because 1:24th parts don't fit right

i seen a few of these on ebay, but since they are vintage kits they are exspensive. looking forward to your mods.
