Excellent build and an interesting model. I don’t remember ever seeing one like this on the road. Was it sold in Europe?

there were a lot of variations of this truck. Seems like every picture you see of one is a little different. Here’s a picture of one that’s similar.

very nice build – love the grain pattern. Almost takes me back to Ft. Sill in the ‘60’s’

Still not sure if this truck was produced in the U.S.A. but I sure like it and wouldn’t mind having one! Very cool truck!.

Great looking debut project drogo’ and a “belated welcome” to LJ and the toy model making addiction.
May is ask what method you used to kerf the doors?

Thanks for the comments.
In answer to your question, LittleBlackDuck; I made the doors in using the following steps:
1) Layered 1/8” and 1/4” material together using a few strips of double back tape.
2) Cut the outline of the cab side through both layers on the scroll saw.
3) Separated the two layers.
4) Cut the inner and outer edges of the groove out of the 1/8” material, ending up with two pieces, the door and the part surrounding the door.
5) Glued the 1/8” piece surrounding the door back onto the 1/4” material, making sure to line up the edges.
6) Glued the 1/8” door piece to the 1/4” material, making sure to keep the space even all the way around.
It may seem like a lot of work to do it this way but if you’re precise with the scroll saw you end up with a nice even groove.

Thanks drog’o, htl and Dutchy (and maybe GR8... not to be left out) have posted/described their methods for ”door kerfing”... This can be added to the list for future modelers to draw from… if they can find it (:()...
