I worked on a garbage truck when i was 15 and 16, all summer long long. Looking at your model, I got flashbacks of the smell of sour milk and rotten baby diapers. Not to mention the life experiences of working along side convicted felons. It that wasn't a modivator towards higher education, I have no idea what would be...

You did a fine job with a challenging kit. One of the best examples of this build I’ve seen. It’s been fun watching it come together. You should be proud.

STICK A FORK IN IT, I AM CALLING IT DONE.☺️  Be sure and check out the completed build in the Model Truck Show Room.  

BUILDER NOTES: Vague instructions Part fitment issues thru out, particularly the packer body and hopper I would not recommend as a first truck build  

MYSTERY SOLVED!!!!   Stumbled across this while looking for something else...as it usually happens.   This is the milk tank that I have.....turns out it is an aftermarket piece prior to Al Gore discovering the internet as there is NO website address, only a P.O Box....looks like Testors had some involvement in this project.     Looks like I have the #103 as it is not chrome...wish it was.   Did a deep dive search for THC Worwide and all I kept coming up with was cannabis related material.  

Excellent progress. I’ve enjoyed watching this come together. Best of luck at the show. I’m sure it will be well-received.

All that is left is getting the few remaining small parts attached, decals and shooting the packer body with a dulcoat......

Got the packer body done, just need to shoot some paint and minor weathering.  Finished up the decals....     My goal is to have this show ready by Oct. 3rd

Thanks, guys!

Congratulations as well!!!
