I had a Mack Truck when I was a kid, I held it in front of a two bar heater to melt it, thought it looked like it had been in a hua of a smash.
Built if from a kit as well.

Little secondhand shop in Palmerston has quite a range if you are into collecting. One on left heading towards pig route. Worth a stop to look.
