MODEL TRUCKS

just saved the pic to pc, and then zoomed it in, and the lights are obviously cosher, so therefore its a real truck, and I would suggest the picture taken for the box cover of the model.
Is that correct?

I’m pretty sure that’s an old Volvo marketing photo. I had that same picture
poster size on my bedroom wall back in the early 80s. :blush: :laughing:
I got it from a guy who worked at the factory in Irvine.

Cadwalladers Volvo F10 Tekno 1:50 scale now complete.

Hi tc trans and colingl,
You are both right now,the picture is of a real truck it was a volvo promotional shot taken by the late great Pat Kennet and it was a poster ,i have never seen one since i missed out on one at a volvo stand at the Kent County Show in the early 80’s i was gutted but i was only 11 years old at the time.I have got the picture in a larger size and i got it from Pat but my photobucket is playing up so i can’t post it on here. :frowning: Tc trans the picture on the italeri box is an artists impression of the same picture.Paul

Hey! Just had a look and I’ve got that model, still in the box from the '70s I think it was. Didn’t start it as I was halfway through building a Chevy Titon 90 and it’s still half done! is that a record do you think :laughing: :laughing: :blush: The Volvo comes complete with a Michelin man to sit on the roof!! :laughing:

Hi all,
I am still trying to get my photobucket to work :imp: Hey BigG-Unit i’ve got 8 of those very early Globby kits and 3 flat roof ones to build and many more other kits, well 50 in total : note to self must do some modelling instead of writing sh.t on here.Best of luck Paul

Hi PHU503R1,
I was trying to make some money for the model show, no harm in that.Paul

Has anyone got any spare Dinky, Corgi or Matchbox toys?

Heres another one done. Loads of extras on this one. Some from KFS and some scratchbuilt. Based on the old Italeri Turbo truck 142 with an intercooler grille added and the steering switched to RHD. Upright stacks and trunking. Loads of roof furniture, a few extra lights, sliding 5th wheel and mud flaps all round!

Well done to all of you, there is some real craftmanship on show here :wink: :smiley:
