Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Bellemare Sterling Concrete Mixer - By Denis Doucet


Denis Doucet used the recently released Jacobs Sterling resin cab on a Promotex Ford chassis, the only one available with air suspension. Denis added Dennis Aust wheels and the tires are from Lonestar. The fuel tanks are reworked Dennis Aust parts, the oil cooler and oil reservoir for the concrete trailer are mostly scratchbuilt. The roof lights are made out of styrene as is the tool box, the battery box, the sun visor and the brackets for the rotary flashers as well. Denis modified the front bumper to achieve the prototype look and used clear acetate for windshield and windows. Note that a concrete truck does not have rotary flashers normally but so equipped, that truck can be utilized pulling some lowboys when not in concrete delivery service.
