Another unique kit of a distinctive prototype you might
have missed was the announcement of this Freightliner FL-60 we
posted back in February in our L.A. Swap
Meet report. Above you see a very hastily tacked together kit for
photographic purposes, without the benefit of much cleanup or any primer
or paint. This is the kit assembled straight from the bag with nothing
more than a quick X-acto knife around the edges to clean up the minimal
casting flash. This very nice resin kit, from RMM of Germany, includes a hollow cast one-piece cab and hood casting, interior
& steering wheel, window "glass" insert, resin one piece
chassis, left and right fuel tanks with diamond tread pattern, front
bumper, photo-etched grille insert, and what appear to be Herpa low
profile tires and wheels. The resin castings for this kit are superb
as you can see from the photo above. It is available as a cab &
chassis kit (shown above) or with an ambulance body on the same chassis. [posted 06/15/00] |
