I used an AMT Diamond Reo tractor, a Revell Auto Transport trailer, and several 1/24 and 1/25 scale Chevrolet kits for this. The Chevy builds are; AMT Mako Shark snap-kit; MPC 1969 Camaro SS convertible; AMT 1969 Corvair; Revell 1969 Corvette; MPC 1977 Monza; and an MPC 1975 Corvette. Thanks for checking this mess out!!!!

Remember this one, great build, i'd love to do some more trucks but it's the space they req that puts me off, the last to survive from many years ago went off to someone on ebay, that was a diamond reo with a caterpillar dozer on a low loader, gave my grandson a "autocar" dump truck, didn't last long once he got his mits on it ;D

Thanks! I have some more big rigs to do, but not enough room to display them when finished. Maybe when I build a "stacked-up" set of shelves..........LOL

The hardest thing to build was the trailer! It was fairly fidgety!!
