ACTRR new project

I ran into a kit a friend had and have a place and need for it. It is a Minitanks Chemical Plant. Pretty old as the box retail was $3.98.
Here is the progress so far. I have stuccoed all the structures and will be adding the shown details as well as some buildings from a Model Power Railroad Maintenance yard and North Island Refinery to complete the scene.

Mike,
Nice find. I think Lee was hoping for a similar score at Timonium two weeks ago.

Who makes the warehouse shelving?  I don't recognize the packaging.

Pretty cool! I'm guessing it was AHM Minikits, not Minitanks. ;)

Could use some different roofing, unless modeling southwest.

Very nice Mike.  I'm sure you'll bring out the best in that kit.

Model Tech Studios.  Lots of detail items in that line.

Note - changed the link to Fifer's page.  Sorry about the earlier MBK link Mike...  :facepalm:

Mark , You are right MiniKits. I just thought the idea of a chemical plant would fit in with Fifer Unobtainium as a partner industry. I am modeling southwest as well and it is hard to find stucco buildings.

Thanks , Mike
