Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Dodge 3500 Tow Truck - By Jim Groeneweg


Here is another one of those projects that had its start way back in 2001-"ish." Jim Groeneweg remembers stretching the frame out and scratchbuilding the main tow body, hoist included, all pose able and working but never finished it; he says he always got stuck on a few details. Recently he purchased some River Point Station wheel sets that has inspired me to do some of these projects and, of course, a custom decal sets from Graphics On Demand also help. The cab was never painted; it's in its original Viper Red, running boards added, and tow body and running boards painted in Humbrol Red to match. It has an Atlas Jeep in tow on the wheel lift in the bottom photo.
