Description I want to do as many model references as I can for my comic projects. This is a modified 1926 Mack Tanker Truck with custom robot parts. The Engine/Solar Collector and Robotic Arm on the back are both reclaimed from damaged field robots and added to the tanker to give it new life. It is used by one of the characters to transport fuel to the P38 and do general farm work.

Revised Photo: I found this Italeri Truck Accessories kit for 50% off at the hobby shop and it included the pivoting crane arm. I wanted something like this initially so I was stoked to pick up the model.

Revised image 2012...Final model with decals and weathering.

Base Model: Monogram 1926 Mack Tank Truck (Bulldog)
Robotic Arm: Added 2013 - Italeri Truck Accessories kit - Pivoting Crane
1/24 scale model
Project: Shinzanaku Graphic Novel
