1944 Diamond T 6x6 4 Ton Wrecker

Recommended Posts

This 1/25 scale Diamond T Wrecker was built using information from a Squadron Walk  Around Photo book and TM-811 which is the US Army technical manual for the 4 Ton Trucks.  It carried the designation of 969A with the army.

It was built from a combination of brass, plastic, Renshape, resin castings, brass wire, aluminum foil, two ply facial tissue for the top and assundry pins and wire.  Metallic embroidery thread was used for the winch cables.  Decals are computer generated and ALPS printed.

Nothing short of a museum-quality build. I’ve enjoyed watching the project come together. You are expertly committed to your craft.

Wow -- just wonderful..

My eye is drawn to all the tiny details -- the tools, the cables, the fittings, all that. Love the little red and green caps on the bottles. It's fun how the smallest and most ordinary colors stand out against the olive drab panels.

Green one is O2 and the red one is acetylene.
