The model looks really good and I like the new paint and decals. Between the two trucks I like the simpler one with the random cases of Coke. Thanks for sharing this.

I have all three versions of this model, and I prefer this version of the casting the most. Nice work on restoring it, Jason! It's a simple restoration, but it is very sweet!

[@jchayes7325]

I prefer them both it doesn't matter keep up the good work have a good one and God bless my friend

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Great work, I also have one of the older ones with random stacks of cases And a few of the other ones. Very nice finish . Big like 👍 👍👍👍👍👍 Mike

Like you, I prefer the more detailed and random placement of the bottle crates on the older version of this truck. I also like the 20 minute versions of your videos that include a detailed history of the actual vehicle as well as your hard work in bringing these models back to life. Cheers from an appreciative viewer in Japan!

Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍

[@breezlee59]

Killer restore! You make the world a better place!

[@markrobinson8865]

Great job 👍🏻

[@lotharrenz4621]

nicely done. :) I prefer the older one, the random placement of the crates makes it look more "alive". short videos are nice, too. you could reserve the longer videos to customs, or models that need more repair, maybe.

[@MelSavageKiller]

Great restoration and i actually prefer the longer video's but would always take something over nothing.

I have two versions of this including the staggered load and the regular load. I found them both fun to restore. The staggered load is more realistic, growing up in the era when everything was in plastic crates, as I did. But they have equal appeal to me. They represent happier days.

Clean work as always man :) keep it up!

Tengo los 2 ese y el de cajas desordenadas muy geniales modelos

[@owenmorse3136]

Unusual colour mustard yellow associated with Coca-Cola but still a good repaint.

[@Ravedaze.]

Have you ever done larger models like the dinky Lamborghini Marzal #189? Now that’s a wonderful project to do 😊

[@DieCastRestos]

I’ve done one or two larger scale Corgi’s and Vanguards’. No Dinky’s yet though

How do you manage to keep the Tamiya primer from not chipping off the metal? I find it quite difficult to stop this from happening.

[@DieCastRestos]

Are you polishing it? Agitating the surface with that rough polishing gives it more surface area to adhere to

[@lotharrenz4621]

as they said. you need to remove the greyish, smooth surface of zinc oxide; not many paints stick to that, and even the special ones don't do it reliably. also, carefully degreasing it before primering it helps a lot.
