Having always been a fan of The Little Red Wagon wheelie truck and not being able to find a suitable diecast in 1/18th scale, either as a project or a complete model, I had a look around for a suitable substitute and came across ths Tonka pickup truck thay looked like it may do the job.
Not a lot of detail on these models/toys so did a fair bit of scratch building. Detailed the cabin area, real wood slatted floor for the pickup bed, detailed engine in the back and repainted candy apple red. Just waiting for some retro Tonka decals to arrive and may put some sponsor decals on it but its basically done now and pride of place in the display cabinet.
Cheers Paul.
