umodelnut Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 That is awesome! Looks like a real U model!!! I want to get a DM600 kit someday and make it a U model. Where did you get the U-600 emblem for the cab?

Whiskymack Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks for all the comments.I didn't keep a record of how many hours I spent on it but too many is a fair estimate! It's at 1:25 scale so it works out to about to about 10 or 11 inches long.Vinny, the U-600 emblem I cut from acrylic sheet with the laser cutter at work. I could easily run off a few more if you'd like some. You'd also have to get an AMT R model kit for the frame which is what I did.

thomastractorsvc Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Looks great, you now need to make a model of Vinny to put in it with a fat chick on the passenger side to keep from falling over on the shelf.
