1-87 Scale Mercedes LG 3000 Aircraft Fuel Tank Truck

Here is one I finished a while back. It involved kit bashing as well as scratchery to produce a fair representation of the prototype.
Like Dave Ward, I tend to lean towards the Unusual or unavailable to satisfy my modeling urges. Enjoy.

John,
In this scale sometimes bashing and scratching is the only way to get what you can't find on the shelf. Gotta love it!

Beautiful work. Great result. Was the ROCO firetruck your base?

Hi Paul,
Actually I started with the ROCO Henschel 33G cargo truck. Swapped out the grill shell and wheels&tires the rest was evergreen styrene. Thanks for looking in.
