Matchbox 37 Cattle Truck into Airport Tanker

Post by Tinman »

Started out as a busted up old Cattle Truck. Converted this one into a shorter wheel base and added dual rear wheels and rear fenders. It sat for a few years waiting to become something. Today it received a tank and a bunch of tiny decals.

Another very good Lesney style model.

I think part of what makes Joe's models look so 'Right' are, they have the amount of deatil which makes them FINISHED but without being over-detailed which in the case of this fuel tanker shows so many more fine details which a model railway enthusiast would touch-in with additional paint.

This tanker (and many more seen so far) could literally just have been pulled out of a spanking brand new cardboard Matchbox.

I really do like this model, 10/10.
