This is the 1/35 scale ICM Ford V3000 with a plastic trailer kit purchased from the Azimut stand at Telford many, many moons ago. I’m not 100% but the floor, side mouldings and wheels were from an Italeri kit with Azimut throwing in the chassis, axles and drawbar.
Built around 2011 not long after the kit was released it was a straightforward build. The wheels are the two-part kit wheels which are much better presented by numerous resin offerings these days.
The trailer is a simple kit with very few parts but unfortunately it came with some terribly moulded rubber tyres. The rear pair of wheels were replaced with resin ones but the front are showing some signs of degradation and the rims are 'falling apart'
Both vehicles were painted with Vallejo acrylics and weathered with MIG enamels and pigments. This was possibly one of my very first attempts at the chipping technique with hairspray.
