This is a rebuild of a model I built probably over 20 years. I actually built 2 and gave 1 to Dad. This was our first jointly owned truck after he sold the transport business that the F12 came from.
This is the actual truck.

This was pretty much how both models looked after years of neglect, rough handling and shoddy workmanship. I'm going to repair one as it was originally built and the second will be touched up and redone where needed but won't be a complete rebuild.

I started by stripping one right done ( mostly it fell apart) and repaired/reglued the chassis. The old tanks with molded on brackets where removed and new white metal brackets added. It was then primed and painted.

The engine was repaired and touched up and put back in.

I've got it back on it's wheels. The front ones come from the Australian Western Star and the rears from the Italeri accessories kit. The bumper was just cleaned and the pinstriping added.

I sealed the deals with floor polish that I brushed on and buffed up. Will do another 1 or 2 before it goes back on. A comparison with the as built sister truck.
