JerseyRed Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 This is straight out of the box with no add ons. Even the paint and decals are the same as the box cover. It's Purple Pearl acrylic with Pledge clear. I'm not very adventurous with color yet but I'm fairly satisfied with the results considering it's my third model. All comments, critiques and suggestions are very much welcomed and appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 This should have been in Under Glass: Big Rigs if someone can move it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyRed Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Thanks! It's fun to get some feedback. I tried to go cheap and easy for the first one, but I think I undershot it with this. There was really nothing to this model and no challenge at all. I also went cheap with the acrylic craft paint since this was my first go 'round with an airbrush.For the next rig I was thinking of one of Revell of Germany's Dump Truck or Wrecker. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations that can save me some time and money I'd really appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelo7 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Excellent build. That's how I build most of my trucks. Like the box art. Just wondering, did you use glue for this kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 It was mostly a snap kit. Most of it is molded together without many pieces, so like I said there wasn't much to do. I did glue a few spots where parts didn't line up and couple that I didn't want falling off when handling. This is probably a good model for a true beginner, but I was looking to learn something about building real truck models. I'd rather have to struggle with it than not be challenged at all.
