The front hood was tricky with the extra curves on the cowling and then again forward that.

Beauty of a truck Don you need to put some working LED lights and flashers in your models to really bring out the realism !For real turn-key realism ever consider it ?

Hi Chet,
I would love to build a working model of a RH-400 in 1/12th scale. But the hydraulics are several thousand dollars . I'm too cheap to spend that much ??, ha,ha.

Great stuff, Don. I circulated some of the pics among my fellow workers and they were equally astonished between seeing the the real truck and your wonderful model...
