Jetdriver69 Posted November 17, 2018 Although this might not be the best forum for these models, they are trucks. Hopefully it is ok to post these pictures. I completed a line of Marathon Oil (used to be an employee) models a few years back and I forgot they were sitting on a shelf in my son's room. Anyway there are six different models. The first installment will be a Marathon Oil company armored car which I envisioned would protect the oil facilities in Africa. Yeah I had a lot of time on my hands at one time... The model's suspension is from a 1980's 1/24 scale monster truck with the body scratch built from sheet styrene. The plans for the body are from a 1930's Russian armored truck, the BA-64. The gun turret is a trimmed top off of a spray paint can. All the decals are custom printed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdriver69 Posted November 17, 2018 The second model is an oil drilling truck based on a 1930's Ford pickup truck. I added two supercharged engines, made it 4 wheel drive and the drilling platform was scratch built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdriver69 Posted November 17, 2018 The third truck is based on a 1930's fuel truck called the Li'l Gasser. I heavily modified this truck with different engine, metal fenders, gas tank, old time gas pump at the rear and fuel hose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdriver69 Posted November 17, 2018 The fourth truck is an aviation maintenance truck based on a 1926 Mack Bulldog. The kit was called the Beer Wagon. I made the wood bed and fence rails, added the aviation parts and tool box and made the trailer with Jet Oil barrel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdriver69 Posted November 17, 2018 The fifth truck is an aviation fire truck based on a 1920's fire truck called the Fire Iron. I heavily bodied this truck making it 4 wheel drive, adding a cab over the drivers seat and adding the water tank and fire hoses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jetdriver69 Posted November 17, 2018 The last one is an aviation crew transport truck based on a 1930's C cab. This one was my first model so modifications were kept to a minimum. Just a resin blown V8 substituted for the sorry engine that came with the kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
