Been a productive morning Alclad airframe aluminum was used for all the trim, sealed w aqua gloss. The hood is missing the grill surround, I'm planning on masking it off then painting it chrome along w the bumper and grill. I guess the engine will be a KW snapper 3406. -

Nice progress on the KW the eye candy is adding up Would a set of mobius wheels look better ? -
Oh man your talking about my Barney Dickenson mixer....funny story. They decided to scrap all the retired fleet a few yrs ago. Word got out around Huskytown, and they were allowed to take any parts to save the history, or keep their trucks running. One truck was sold, and shown during the yearly homecoming. I ran into the owner at a model show...my model was loosely based off his truck lol. Anyway heres the truck Okay..back to your build

Great work plumbing it out, and adding those little details. Fun to hide Easter eggs for others to notice -

Thanks ! Our local FD wears this color, I'm kinda building a couple trucks they could have if the need allowed. I finally figured out the hood, as usual I was overthinking the problem. Now for the bumper and get the hood and cab sprayed. Anyone have a spare R model front rim I could trade for ? I can't find the twin anywhere, and like the look -

Fired up the paint booth to fumigate for my squirrel problem, here's the rescue body w its 2nd color. My phone is washing out the brightness of the lime, its much better in person. Next up masking the diamond plate, paint w gloss black base , then Alclad. The back wall will have reflective chevrons from st supply Thanks for following along -

@BK9300 thanks for suggestion, I just need to keep enough frame for bumper to attach. I didn't realize this kit didn't have a real hinge point, just knobs that rested in pockets. Either way I guess I'll need to notch frame for room to tilt, hood fits fairly well to cowl now..fairly well like resin does -

Okay, I need some help...I'm stumped for ideas to hinge the hood . I thought using a tube across frame, w paper clip hinges would work. Theres not room for hood to open w frame. Heres what I have right now.. Thanks I'm getting past annoyed -

I was tempted to use red, but looking over my display I noticed a trend lol. Tamiya mica red seems to be a favorite of mine -
