Watch the video.

This one was one of my earliest models. It was before I learned to copy every detail in the chassis, engine and the rest of the truck. The model was built using the Krusher and Scavenger monster models.

Cost to build; $22.oo Time to build; 20 hours Scale; 1/25th

Features; Hand fabricated frame, tilt hood and bed, and rear mounted engine. I had to use a V8 because I couldn't find the V12 that should be in this truck. Completely hand painted.
