White Fruehauf Sinclair US Army Gas Truck 1/48 Scale Model Kit Build Review Atlantis 1402

[@bobrobinson2587]

A blast from the past. The trailers we pulled were O.D. Green. They held 3500 gallons, I pulled many a load of jet fuel. Great build as always Chris.

Olive drab

[@TimShredder]

Not only do I like and learn from how you build things, I also appreciate you're not just going for all the cars and trucks but try out different scales and subjects. Nice job on this one, think I might get it as well!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks Tim, anything in kit form is game, we practice no plastic snobbery! LOL Thanks man! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop

[@gravelytodd]

1:48 scale is perfect for use with Lionel trains. This would look great on my layout as there are many available accessories in Sinclair

[@hpiguy]

Thanks man! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop

[@hertzair1186]

I agree...my personal rule in modeling is “paint everything”...even if the plastic is the right color..unpainted plastic always has that unreal waxy look...love your videos...you did a great job, I also enjoy building vintage molds kits...glad I’m not the only veteran modeler who only uses rattle cans! I had this kit since the re-release in the 90s, you got me excited to pull it out and build mine...thanks for the preview! I think this kit painted in yellow with the air force decals would be a great refueling diorama with a 1/48 Air Force jet!

[@hpiguy]

Enjoy your hobby!

[@DaveWrightKB9MNM]

What would be cool as a diorama would be to do the trunk as Air Force then build a '50s era jet fighter to go next to it, like an F-80 or something. Cool build!

[@hpiguy]

Yup, hence the scale, it fits with all the other plane kits. Thanks man! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop

[@Mariazellerbahn]

I love building kits that are moulded in coloured plastic. Even if painted over later, it adds more interest rather than generic grey plastic. It is also handy when you have more than one kit on the go all at the same time.

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

Looks awesome for a retro kit and you are right build for yourself it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Models are made to be built and have fun doing it.

[@hpiguy]

You bet, build for fun, not for other's opinions! Thanks man! facebook.com/hpiguysworkshop

Bought this kit to eventually use in a diorama. Only problem at the moment is there are soooooo many things you can do with it, LOL. Thank you for providing the painting guide not included in the kit. Keep up the great work!

Thanks a lot!

[@wayneleighton3574]

Chris, I remember a time when these White's were all over the place. Nice build.

[@roberthatfield6360]

I seen this at Hobby Lobby and had to get two! Like a couple other people said “ perfect for Lionel trains” my father trains are all 1956- 57 and since this is a 56 truck, it works perfect. Thank you for reviewing the model. I’m hoping to see more models this scale in the future with luck.

[@cgr2965]

Thanks for the video, built one per your recommendation for my o gauge Sinclair Station and tank farm . Looks great ! Now building Army tanker for my Military Train . Easy build and quick fun .

[@dp.oennismaurer205]

Chris, an old kit that I think used to be a Revell kit. Those molded ' Dayton' wheels and tires are great and capture what the real trucks had. These 3000 model White's were everywhere at one time. A lot of these were used in the moving industry, big trucking companies, local deliveries, with some as fire trucks. I think White also built the 3000's as twin steer model single drive tractors for some compan- ies.

[@stevel5771]

just to let people know this kit ships with window glass now. Great job Chris!

[@hpiguy]

Cool, thanks!

[@oldbaldfatman2766]

Jan. 7, 2020---Bought one of these kits shortly after Monogram came out with their F-84F with the plan of painting it o.d. and in AF markings. Finished the plane and the tarmac, but never started this kit. Thanks for showing it off.

[@hpiguy]

Nice!

[@crashdive100]

Yayyyyy! Been hoping you'd do this one ever since I saw the release announcement. These trucks were all over the place when I was a kid and I always liked the dino logo. Alot of gas stations around Pittsburgh in the early sixties used to offer a die-cast model of their trucks every year at Christmas and this reminds me of that BIG TIME.The guys who drove these wore a shirt and tie under the uniform. Can you imagine a truck driver wearing a tie nowadays? This is a great trip down memory lane, O Glue Guru (Glueru?) Thanks!!!

I never heard of Atlantis, I built the Revell reissue of the Mobilgas tanker in 1995 and enjoyed it very much, There's a hobby shop in Nazareth Pa called Trains and Lanes which always carries reissues of older kits, I'll have to go up there and have a look see.
