Has anyone built a Explosive Truck like the type that pumps ANFO in the holes ? Would you kindly share your truck with the forum ?

I've got one started and wish to complete at least two at some point, but for me, I have many things/projects started but hardly anything finished.

Sounds like most hobby's I've ever had. Please share when you complete the model. Had a thought recently regarding why nobody had built a ANFO truck. Which is a pretty important model to have if you collect Mining equipment.

Here's a couple more ANFO trucks from internet. Photos not mine. Who is the maker of this truck???? Interesting design. Dunno if I'd want to tumble ANFO around in a mixer though...  King of the road Scania.

No worries on tumbling ANFO. It's pretty much inert, except that it will burn. Being a low explosive emulsion, you need a high explosive to set it off. So unless you detonate another explosive inside of it, the worst you could do is set it on fire....but tumbling to mix it wouldn't do that.
