gotnitro?

Dont get discouraged , its Feb now and still plenty of time to finish your build ! Really looking forward to your build, these trucks arent seen as frequently as other kits

Your making progress !!! Too bad your having paint issues , they definitely stall a build . My plow build had similar issues . I washed the resin parts like always , then sprayed primer. Small fish eyes appeared in spots.. an annoying issue

Yeah , I actually meant to lightly tack most of the parts on making the painting easier..but enjoying the work so much , most of the parts stayed put. The white areas are where I removed the fender hangers to paint them orange. The details really jump out now Thanks ! I'll take a few pics of the painted body today, I'm really happy with the results

Awesome job !!!

Excellent work ! Everything about this truck looks spot on , the colors have the proper era stripes..the list goes on and on !

Excellent build ! Looks just like your photo , and has your eye for detail

Fantastic weathering

Looks very good Good thing ya checked fitment along the way, these kits can really throw monkey wrenches into progress, and checking frequently helps ..my problem I rush in then realize a problem lol

Hopefully your home issues are done for awhile! Grapple will really be cool

Reached the primer stage today on the frame and got the orange sprayed! I picked up a can of rusto allis Chalmers orange for the body , and wanted to see how it looked . Sprayed a test on a spare mack hood.. Weird how lighting makes frame look blue..its light gray primer lol. Planning to paint the sander hopper / frame semi gloss black. The hood will get its flat black anti glare panel also

Outstanding fabrication those corners look absolutely awesome

Very unique truck there Kerry !!! Right up your alley

Your build looks fantastic !!!

Cool car ..and great color ! Might be posted in wrong forum though...this is the big rig section lol

So we're almost a month into the BRBO already, and have a serious amount of building going on !!! Thanks again to everyone that's joined up and participating!!

Definitely looks like Tamiya Buff , deck tan is more gray

Charles - I'm noticing several areas that need sanding w finer grits after taking photos, so I see a few primer sessions

The sander chute looked pretty bland , being a fairly large part , I figured it needed some details . The spinner wheel is a scrap piece of 060 " drilled out for its driveshaft . A few small paddles went on next . Ryan Pedone sent me a couple hydraulic motors, so I drilled out the base to fit the driveshaft. The real one had small brackets welded on the chute body w linkage rods to adjust the angle on side flaps..and small hinges . A few pieces of 90 angle drilled out and strip made a fair representation. The product door needed its lift bar still. I made one from square tube , and small brackets. The crank rod is copper wire mocked up. I may make a handle from wire insulation to fatten up the crank rod . I'm getting very close to primer now ...

Nice job!! I always tend to over look the lift cylinders, yours look good

Awesome build , your paint job looks fantastic on the Pete

Very very well done

Wow outstanding setup

Awesome job !!!! This is really gonna be cool build. Best part your working knowledge of how these trucks can be spec'd out . Usually hear bad fitment issues w these kw t600 cabs , your definitely whooping into shape Don mills sells those d ring door latches perfect for your truck.

Looking forward to your updates !!! Best part of model building is changing it up

Thanks Dennis ! I'm very impressed how well those welds took to bending . I squeezed w flat pliers after shaping , but they added that personal detail to the wing
