International Fleetstar Fuel & Lube Truck - By Dennis Raper


This impressive relic of a model from Dennis Raper represents an old fuel and lube truck like would be used in a Pacific Northwest logging operation. It's an International Fleetstar built with a resin cab from Steve Del Sesto. The fuel tank is made from a Bic lighter and styrene. Weathering was done with washes and powders. The broken windshield is represented with table salt crystals. The cables on the rear were made from sewing thread. Also hanging from the rear is a length of A-Line 40 LPI chain.
