Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

International R-190 Flatbed Truck - By Michael Smith


Here is more of Michael Smith's Classic Metal Works International R-190 flatbed. This model started as a box truck but Mike swapped the bed from a CMW ’41 Chevy. The flatbed was shortened and beefed up with Evergreen styrene I-beams underneath for hauling heavy loads. Mike made a new heavy duty plate bumper for the rear from styrene. The rear hitch is from Roco, mirrors by A-Line, weathering was done with Dullcote and chalk. The load is scrap tubing painted to look like concrete. Previously shown in Photo Gallery 620.
