Title: ´50´s Chevy wrecker
Post by: Michael F on December 02, 2017, 01:24:35 PM
JimW asked for wreckers, so here is mine.
Everything except the cab is scratchbuilt.
The wheels are castings from the Revell Opel Blitz kit. The decals are laserprinted.
He would look even better with some weathering, oh well...
Thanks for looking!

 :)  Well, I will have to say these wreckers are nice.

I has never occurred to me to build one, which is just as well, as I would be at a loss on the booms.

Spotter,

These decals were printed a few years ago by a late guy wich foils cars. Honestly i don´t know how he did them. His Company does no longer exist as he does...
I think it´s some kind of ink like alps or something...
