description  Hi all - We finally got some cold snow here in Michigan and it set up a perfect opportunity to test out the plow rig. I'm quite pleased with how it performed, just needs a bit of tweaking. I always like to hear what my friends at TC think, so chime in. last pic - added a local company logo on the door. My kids work there. Fun.

Norm, you can purchase the clear glass and interior kits from TC member jimshobbyshop- I designed the molds, produced those parts for a couple years,,but got too busy and sold the molds to him,, now he makes them using my old molds.

Excellent job and a great looking workhorse, where do I place my order for a fleet of them? These would be cheaper to run than paying the fuel bills for a real one!!

Great comments - thanks all. @SRB Bloke - not sure about clear glass and an interior, any ideas where I can get these? @mikeekim Great Idea! 2 of my kids work for a landscaping company and plow in the winter. Done! This was my first recent all Tamiya build and it was a pleasure. Put a 55T motor in it to get better slow speed control = perfect. Thanks again, all.

I'm sure the shot you said you like would fool even the owners of the real Ford truck. Your work is awesome!

Sweet truck mate, just needs a logo on the door now

Awesome work, I do hope it was fake salt in the bin so as to not ruin all your hard work painting and building. I guess now you don't have an excuse to not go to work since you can plow your way out of the driveway. Send it to me in Texas and I will push some sand around next beach trip I take.

How sweet is this thing Norm, and a perfect amount of snow for scale look. This looks a lot more fun than I had using an old Snapper 2 stage Snow thrower early this morning to clear out my Churches parking lot. A truck like this could do the whole thing in about 2 minutes instead of an hour oh wait its a model
