Neat build. Some time back I drove down to a box store looking for a specific kit. Well they didn't have one. None of the car kits interested me. I saw this one on the military shelf so I wasn't to go home empty handed. It's not my preferred scale or subject. That night I watched Christene. One of the vehicles was a military issue truck used for a civilian company. I thought about doing this as a "wrecking ball" that might be used in close quarters for demolition. I was unsure of any assembly problems so it is still on the shelf. Thank you for this post. You moved it up on my to do pile.
Im building the Revell issue from 1984 right now and injoying every part of it.I spotted it on ebay and thought ive got to get that.I dont remember this about before but was only into cars then.Ive got into building ex military vehicles and have the Heller GMC and the Monogram M34 on go all at once lol
Damn you ! That was my favorite kit when it first came out. I really loved building it and I can remember to this day. NOW I WANT ONE!!!!!!! I had all the Renwal kits I could find. Sooooooooooo ..... What's next?
I am impressed with how detailed the kit is! You did a great job on it. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm glad you like it John. Thanks for watching! -Doug

Thanks Don, you shouldn't have any major issues with this build. Just dry fit everything and it sounds like a cool idea for your display! -Doug
Don Chamberlain : Renwal/Revell actually issued this kit back in the 60’s/70’s in white styrene with civilian decals as a commercial wrecker...
EH, thanks for the info! -Doug

The shading differences in the soldiers were perfect. The over all build was great and appreciate the tedious work involved. Thanks for sharing.:-)
Glad you liked it IW! -Doug
cover your strings in white glue to straighten and make them look "loaded"

Hey Bill, Do you still have the instructions for this kit ? Thanks for your time !
MM, Sorry but the review mostly serves as our instruction tutorial! -Doug
Good build. I like the subject. It has military and car modeler interest. Keep having fun.
Bill
PS: Too bad the crane cable twisted up on you.
PB, Thanks and where I find issues it's still a good thing because I can pass that along as a caution so other builders can avoid it! -Doug
