My new toy.....

Literally...my new toy
Tried to match up close to what my truck resembles. Someday I'd like to add similar wheels to my truck. I had started making my diecast a small window, but the filler didn't hold up, and I was running impatient. I even painted my interior to match the truck, but the pics didn't come out well. I could've worked more on the filler and made it nicer, but you know, it's only a toy. You'll notice thru the buildup that I went ahead and bagged it...hehehhee What do you guys/gals think?

COOL, I like the way it looks.

Wish I could find one for my savage 21 R/C truck.

Thanks

This is what the truck originally looked like.
I bought the wheels at a flea market.

IMHO, those look like 1/20th scale wheels on a 1/25th scale truck.
