Terry Jessee Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 This is 1/35 scale 5-ton truck. At this point, the chassis assembly is more than 210 parts. I set the tires on it for a photo, but still have to finish painting those. The truck will be black, but the underside remains olive drab because I don't think people probably crawled underneath to paint the bottom black. So it's part olive drab, part black overspray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren D Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Is that the AFV kit? Look good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything seems to center on where that fits. I'd think it would be better to complete the rear axle assemblies, then use the drive shafts to place the transfer case because there's no definite mounting point, otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I assume she's going to be a gun truck. Any one in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Jessee Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Some progress. This kit is a challenge. I'm having problems with fit issues because tolerances are too tight in some places, meaning that there's a lot of file, fit, file, fit, sand, fit... That plus all the tiny, fragile parts already installed require very careful handling while you're trying to add new stuff. But it's moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
