blunc Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 nice start. if that's a cummins engine, they are traditionally dark mustard yellow, kinda like gray pupon. this will probly get moved to the "big rig" section of the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Joseph first your build is coming along nice looking forward to seeing more. Here's a tip that may help your paint from peeling off I find that when I'm painting stripes that one I have to let the first color paint to cure at least a week or more and I use Tyermia tape. After I have the tape in place I brush on clear coat over the edge of the tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ1971 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Isn't there a big rig section for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo7 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 This is a very expensive kit. I tried to buy one but the ones I found were way over my budget. But I managed to find a simpler and cheaper wrecker from AMT, which I'm currently working on. You say your airbrush gun has gone bad, but you can finish the project with the old regular hobby spray paints. That's all I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
model1:25th scale Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I am free hand painting, but I do miss my airbrush gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo7 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Free hand painting is fine for the details but for the body at least I recommend you use the little hobby spray cans. They are not expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
