Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Ford F-850 Hay Truck - By Chester Fesmire


Chester Fesmire tells us this Ford 850 from Athearn was stripped (a few soaks and scrubs in 91% denatured alcohol and their paint comes off nicely) to reveal some very nice details not seen with the factory paint, especially the wheels. Chester scratchbuilt the stake body from wood and styrene. The load is wood blocks covered in hemp shavings.
