    Default T&J 1951 Ford Pickup ute

    Here are a few photos of my just finished latest project
    I used T&J plan.


    I now need to make up the mind what to try next I have now built a model from each of the plan sets I purchased


    I would like to do a tow truck or fire truck but I want to make much more finer detail than the older T&J plans
    I am unsure about doing one from scratch ( no plans )
    and its not worth buying plans if I am not going to follow them fairly closely , having said that I make some minor changes or personal touches on what I make.
    I would also like to know if something I like is in their 2017 plans release
    If anyone knows where I can get finely detailed tow or fire truck plan please let me know ; something similar to the last few years releases from T&J
