gotnitro? Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Heres my completed R model . It's mostly box stock except the scratchbuilt Tuthill pneumatic vacuum/ blower system to run the bulk sand tanker that'll be attached later. Color is Tamiya Mica Red w semi gloss black frame. I added half fenders from the snap KW, and susie coils from AITM. The cab mount cb antenna was donated from the IH 4300. The straight exhaust stack was removed and rebuilt w a turned style . Parts box driving lights were added to the front bumper also. The decals were custom made made by Joe Shultz at diecast and decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 This is another build that pics don’t capture, the color/sheen differences in the tanks and stuff just don’t come thru in pics, but in person, the subtle differences really pop. Great build Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
