1978 GMC Pick Up With Snow Plow
Posted by greentracker98 on Sunday, January 13, 2013 5:55 PM

Here is my 1978 GMC Snow Plow. This was a GB for my local model club Knox (PA) Scale Modelers. The Running Boards, and the Headache Rack, are scratched built.

Hope every one likes it.

Thanks for looking

Ken Worth

Yea, I need to make some decals for it, but I'm out of ink for my printer and I don't care much for the decals that came with it.

Okay here's a pic with some more light

I may have to wait until day time take any better pics

I've been wanting to pick this kit up. I'm not much of an auto guy but we had a truck very similar to this at the dealership I used to work at.

   I bet you could get some great shots if you have a little snow in your driveway. This bad boy might look right at home there.

Ha! I suppose I could, but then, if you put a dress on a pig you can make it look like Justin Bieber too.

Hi : What I did to improve my pictures , none of which have made it here yet , is simple . Go to Hobby Lobby or any Office max etc. and get a large sheet of pale blue poster-board .it's stiff enough to make a good backdrop and that way the background has nothing to detract from your good  , hard work .    Tanker-builder
