Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Scrapping TWA DC-3 Airplane - By Mike Smith


Mike Smith took these photos recently outdoors near his local airport. The forklift is a heavily modified Matchbox toy, the old red one. Mike added an Athearn Freightliner cab and wheels from Roco and another unknown manufacturer. The dump truck (below) has Model Power wheels, a Boley box and an unknown cab. The airplane is a Revell/ Monogram 1/90th scale kit. Mike says he had to search a while online to find what the inside of a DC-3 wing root looked like and thinks he got it pretty close!
