1st Rig Build


Recommended Posts

This is what I do:

Assemble the cab shell, hood and sleeper box as individual units. Prime and paint. Be sure to paint under the hood, fenders, inside the cab and sleeper including the exposed lower edges.

When you paint the cab/hood/sleeper, be sure to apply equal amount of paint to each unit so that the paint is consistent on all parts.

Assemble the chassis including axles, springs, shocks, fuel tank mounts as a unit then prime and paint.

Just like the 1:1 trucks are built.

I leave the 5th wheel and 5th wheel plate off painting it separately so I can get paint to the inside of the

chassis and axles.
