Brian Donato began this model with an off white Athearn concrete mixer truck model. The frame was shortened to accommodate the new dump/spreader body. The interior has plow controls, gear shift lever, and CB radio. Decals are from Microscale. The plow frame is scratchbuilt from styrene with cast metal plow frame lights. Brian mounted a Busch spotlight on the roof with the CB antenna. A Ralph Ratcliffe Models municipal dump body was used with modified Boley sander insert. The rear elements of the sander's discharge chute were made from styrene pieces. The model was weathered with Tamiya powders and Dullcote. Strobe lights are from ROCO.
