Looks nice.  Really like the color . And the 1/1  truck went thru several color variations thru the years

I know the opening doors pose a challenge , but its nice to see you nailed it just fine .

When I built mine many years ago, I managed to get the doors to work. Which is a nice feature of the kit , especially for the time period it was originally tooled up.  But sadly a few years back while dusting ,,,mine  took a nose dive off the shelf and the only way to repair it without a major overhaul was to glue the doors in permanently closed position.

 

A tip, when dusting pull them off the shelf ONE at a time, then after dusting said shelf put them back on the shelf ONE at a time. Trust me

I got her finished today. I had fun with it and the kit posed a few small challenges but it is now complete.

Thanks , Mike

Very nice build on that LRW Mike, as you did a great job. I've been lucky enough to see the LRW a few times at the drag strips, and I know the owner of the latest (?) LRW who has this in his collection..............................
