I like the way the front blends into the body , especially looking forward to the rear treatment watching how you graft in those pieces

That truck was gorgeous, actually won people's choice award at the Cortland homecoming. I might have a few photos of the truck I took that day -

The squarish angular cab really shows the trend of the day, reminds me of the snow fighters of Oshkosh , Walter etc all beautiful trucks over built for heavy work. Your winch is a tiny work of art ! One of those models that would really be special to look at left in raw plastic with only a clear protective coating applied . -
Beautiful work Fantastic color

Well, im actually very surprised. I ended up sanding hood down to bare plastic after spotting faint ghosting in my new primer coat . Knowing this could be highly visible under the clear, and likely to annoy me more . A quick spray of tamiya fine red , then 2 even coats of gunmetal resulted in a sigh of relief. Checking the color against the car body showed I was there , and could clear it . My biggest concern was the metal flakes laying down the same. 2 coats of wet look clear had everything blending , and satisfied I could polish away any orange peel . ! I'll give the hood a solid few days to cure then start assembly! Thanks for all the feedback assuring me this could work

Very nice work ! Excellent job fitting the roof panel in with a nearly seamless fit Love the color plan, gray is the new hot color

I actually stripped the hood last night down to primer and plan to reapply it tomorrow. I'll watch the coats closely to hopefully avoid having a noticeable color difference. Really excited to see this together, the color combo should look good

Very cool idea -
My paint order arrived today and couldn't wait to apply some color . I'm using tamiya TS-38 gunmetal , w testors wet look clear . Normally I'd sprayed in the booth, but temps outside was perfect for painting . 3 coats later I had a even color and was ready for clear . I pre soaked the cans in a bath of very hot water to achieve a smoother finish Moving everything back inside to cure , I snapped a few inside photos ..when the accident happened. I was so happy w the color. , I was moving the body and separate hood onto my drying shelf when I hit elbow and the hood flipped in the air ...I caught it upside down and left a finger print in the tacky finish..hopefully after curing I'll ba able to wet sand it back and buff away Thanks for looking
