Finished my restoration today on the K12 Breakdown truck, that I bought last weekend at the train show. Here are the before and after pictures.

Thanks! I had all the parts on hand to do this model, as I was going to do a different K12, but I found this early version and did it instead. I didn't have one of these with the extra lights on the headboard in my collection. I need to order a new set of tires, as these aren't the best, as you can see in the closeup picture.

Love that job on the wrecker. The tires look just fine. You should try coating your window inserts with Future polish, it will make them look as good as the rest of the model.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
