Pete68 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Sorry guys I’m going have to take a break on the 1/87 for a good while its really messing with my hands and eyes. Anyway back to the bench. I got this from Dave (AITM) last year and I’ve decided to start it.I painted the Cab Allis Chamlers Orange. I plan on this pulling a dump trailer. The Engine will not be seen but I painted it close to Mack gray as I could. Have to get a few more parts to add and I got some built also tonight. I’m going to make some new tank brackets. I’m using the DM frame to get the vintage parts to build this and using parts from other kits. Enjoy the pics Edited April 22, 2019 by Pete68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I was wondering about the rear axles. I've always had a thing against the spread axle look. Glad to see you made the change! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
