Thought you might like to see one of my first 1/24 truck models finished and appeared in TMW in 1993. The cab and cut-down chassis came from the ITALERI fire ladder kit. Wheels were from a 1/32 scale Volvo F16 4x2 Tractor cab. The tail lift came from the ITALERI truck accessories and was chopped about a little to match the real lift The box body was scratchbuilt using plastic sheet, strip and timber veneer for floor and wall tie rails Chassis had air suspension scratch built and cardboard boxes carrying photocopiers formed using manila envelopes cut and folded with handwritten writing and signage. Pallets made from timber strips with one box shrinkwrapped onto a pallet using clingfilm and placed in a heated oven very briefly. Letra-set used for signwriting and Dutch numberplates, and cab was adorned with scale flags, magazines from Truck Model World, Michilan men from ITALERI accessories, and scratchbuilt juice bottles, flask, sandwitches, etc. Hope you like Nige
