Yes we need to had a light hearted attitude and have fun like Gary I’m enjoying this thread. I built one like yours in the summer 1985 and still have it I painted it close to the box art color I was just so excited that I even got my hands on one because back then they was so rare and I found it in a old hobby shop that had several old discontinued kits left. Back then it was an easy build and real didn’t pay much attention about the multiple cab parts and other things just had fun building it and you should do the same. I still build my Trucks this way today. Have fun with this kit it’s even better than the one I have no more worries about a big tire impression on your decals 😂.

Yes that belly pan would be a classy touch for this beast

I painted a Louisville dump truck about this same color last year one day I’ll get to building it maybe. All is looking great

Those look nice and more impressive once they have been installed. Nice work Gary.

Sweet!

Cool color for the engine that matches the truck body I’ve seen this before on real show shows and it’s neat.

Very well done one the upgrades Steve I’m enjoying this build.

Thanks Gary I appreciate it and you stopping by.

Appreciate the complement Steve yes that is my goal to get this thing sitting next to the Astro and maybe a couple more Titans and Astros builds further down the road. Glad you stopped by.

Thanks Ron for the compliment and stopping by. I’m sure your Astro will turn out probably a little better with more details. I’m just an old box stock kind of guy.

Thanks jeff I really appreciate it. Yes, I’m liking away this one’s turning out.

After almost 3 and a half years I put this on the bench to be finish with my GMC Astro. Last night I painted the stacks and tonight I put them on.I still have the plumbing and find a cab light and a front grab handle for it yet. More updates later

Thanks Scott almost done and I can hear that DD too without any loping 😂

That’s a good kit until you come to this part one of these days I’ll slay the beast and get that hood to fit level.

That’s a nice looking B model has a very beefy look. Like Brian I like that tarp.

Me too I’m interested how your going to pull it off with magic touch you have. I’m sure it will be impressive.

Gary it’s looking very clean and nice i like the updates.

Looks good

I like that Yellow Scott. Updates are looking good soon this Dog will be out of the pound 😂

Nice work Steve

Looking good Gary going to be a nice set up

This evening I was able to put the mirrors on and find some more missing parts for it. I had a headlight lens but now I’ve lost that one 😂. I did manage to get the decals on I’ve had for years to go on this truck the “Running Rabbit Lines” and I robbed some from the Coke General too. A big shout out to round2 for making those State fuel tax decals in scale instead of those giant ones we used for years this makes the truck look so much better. Well that’s it for now maybe some more updates this week and just maybe it will be completed.

Thanks Brian but it’s not quite done yet but very close for sure. It does feel good to get this one one the bench and on its way off. Glad you dropped it.

Yes they did and they succeeded too. Thanks for dropping in Steve.

Thanks for the compliment and stopping by.
