Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

1937 International D300 Truck - By Rick Hoskinson


After finding some images on kfz der Wehrmacht web site of a 1937 International D300 Rick Hoskinson decided he could build a suitable model using one of Sylvan Scale Models' resin kits. Aside from the scratchbuilt cargo bed and exhaust system, the model is pretty much original. Added details include lollipop mirror, license plate frames, tail light, a Roco pintle hitch, and A-Line windshield wiper. The wheels are modified five spoke tractor/trailer units and the tires came from a Brekina Mercedes bus. Paint is Model Masters enamel with washes and dry pigments for weathered look. TL decals were used as well. According to the website this particular vehicle was captured and used by a German Army unit in Norway.
