Love it! I still see these occasionally in use as farm trucks.

I'll have to buy that cab now because my father has a 6x6 Reo out behind the barn.

Damned shame that has to be covered up by a hood.

I love it! I have those same decals somewhere.

Love these trucks. You definitely did the subject justice.

Love it!

Shaping up to be one beautiful brute already!

I must confess I bought way too many of these when they came out

Nice! Is that the stock wheelbase?

Very nice! Even as-is. Even though it doesn't look like it would take an awful lot to bring it back up to 100%

Lovely! The local gravel pit once had a similar unit to this.

Love it! I need to get around to an R one of these days.

This was a quick and relatively pleasant buildup of the old Ertl Precision Series kit. You know, the one with that diecast frame that seems to scare off many a modeler. I didn't have too much trouble with that, but the diecast front spindles sucked, so I made new ones from plastic strip. Other than the roof top A/C unit and the decals it's totally box stock and finished in Tamiya flat yellow. I also cut away the exhaust stack and replaced it with aluminum tubing.

I have not, but I have a few military kits I want to get around to sometime. This one is a done deal, Showroom pics coming soon.

The engine is in. Not much will be visible once the cab is on but I have it some weathering. I tried Vallejo pigments for the first time and I'm reasonably happy.
