Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them

Ted,I am sure you will do just fine! I bought some of those magnification glasses with a built in light to help me with my layout and future Auto rebuild! LOL

My Latest Aquisition..... A Mack Granite Day Cab.

PRR that sure is a sharp looking Mack Truck! I bet its going to look great on your layout!

I agree with mike one sharp looking Granite

Just finished this fuel tanker. The trailer is from the new Atlantis release and the tractor is an older Revell release of the missile carrier found on the “e” auction site. I made my own decals to match a fuel dealer on my friend’s layout. Pretty standard build, but I did shorten the tractor by 4 scale feet; I think it looks better.

Nice job there, Rick!

Rick, Great proportions and awesome weathering!  Thanks for posting.

Tomlinson Run Railroad

Great job Rick,  it's been a while since I built any models.  Just opened the Atlantis 57 Chevy stake truck, oh the painting I'm gonna have to do.

My wife bought this for me today at Hobby Lobby and this one has Glass. I have a old Revell one I’ve custom built that’s almost done I’ll try out the glass out of this one and post the results.

Yes they updated the kit to include the glass. I guess I should have waited.

I still would like to see some completed kits when they are done.

Great Job Rick! Nice match up too thanks for sharing  and will we see more trucks from you?

Here are a few !

Cliff thanks for sharing the nice pics

Lee, thanks for the compliments! 

...”and will we see more trucks from you?”

Yep! I picked up a second White 3000 kit tonight from Hobby Lobby (40% off boxed model kits this week) and am going to combine two kits to make a tandem axle coal dump truck.

No doubt there is a glaring hole in O scale waiting to be filled with 1/48 scaled vehicles!

White Pass and Yukon Route operated a fleet of trucks to haul mine concentrates and freight, mostly in the Yukon Territory in Northern Canada. This is a custom painted New Ray model.

Rick. You bet I’ll post some soon that I’ve been working on. The 3000 coal truck sounds interesting   Yes I agree there a big hole for trucks in 1/48 scale  

Tom thanks for sharing the White Pass Pete’s look great

Well here is my latest restomod. A corgi Toronado. Came in a blue color, not in too bad of shape, but I still wanted to do a full restoration. There was a big blemish on the passenger door, and the pop up headlights were chrome, which I never really liked so I painted them body color. Something new I tried, painted the turbine style wheels body color as well, then followed up with silver. I think it makes the wheels really POP. Here’s the before and after.You can see the wheels the best in the last photo.

Hope you like it, was not as much work as the Ambulance, but it turned out pretty sharp.

JDFonz...nice job on the Toronado...

Nice job JD. The Tornado and the Riviera were two of my favorite Corgis. The Riviera, if I recall correctly, had the light-pipe headlights; good fun on a sunny day or under your desk lamp.

PD

Yes PD you are right on the trans-o-light headlights on the Riv. I have one of those as well. The tail lights also glow. They really had e ngineers designing their product. I love all the little gimmicks they came up with. Toys with some really good play value.

JD. Outstanding job on the Toronado. Thanks for sharing

Paul. Another nice pic. Thanks for sharing
