looking good, dash looks excellent!

thanks guys. Dan, I was almost going to PM you about the painting part, but the more I looked at the parts, I thought, no way am I painting this as one assembly, way too many odd angles and such. plus I am using rattle cans, so spot precision is out, haha. so, here is todays bit of progress, this is the base of the trailer in front of a '53 foot moebius trailer, I really didn't think it was this long..... and my first go 'round with air brushing alclad on the tanks, thanks for following along, stay tuned........

those are some nice 'classic' kits out of your stash look forward to seeing progress on this, you found all the pit falls of this kit on the site, so I think you'll be in good shape as you go

Mike, thanks Jeff, I used BMF on the straps, then outlined them with a sharpie micro pen. I hate doing fuel tanks, such a time consuming part of the build, I like easy body work, lol. I really need to get back to this build.....

Justin, great looking build. hopefully a new plow means the snow and cold are done with

Mark, great score. I'm lucky enough to have one of those in my stash as well.

wow, some spectacular builds in those pictures, thanks for sharing those.

Pat, looking good! engine looks fabulous. I usually give a good bubble bath after brake fluid to make sure it's all off the body/parts. all the exhaust options could look good, but I gotta say, I kinda like JT's idea. out the bumper would look cool.

here is sundays update, interior is pretty well done, going to use the closed curtain once it's in the truck, let's face it, the bunk detail is minimal and you can't really see any of it once in the cab, so, curtain it will be. I also got the tanks painted in alclad along with the air intake tube. I think once buffed out a bit, the tanks will look quite good [i hope]. interior, and I started 'phase three' that bit of the trailer is now in color and drying, I like it so far. thanks for following along, stay tuned for more..........

I used Tamiya white putty on them, and a ton of sanding. thanks for the compliment Dan, I think we all know why I haven't made progress on this, haha

looking good Dan, tight fit indeed!

great looking builds! i just love that KW

Dan, not much to report, lol. got the intrior bits painted and spent more time on the tanks. got stuff going on the next few days, so check back on sunday for progress

Carl, welcome to following the 'dark side', haha. Clayton, tried to keep the motor resembling the cars motors, just enough chrome on it to sorta match. hope to get some interior work done tonight, and more work on the fuel tanks [oh how i hate doing tanks........lol], and hopefully more prep on bits and parts. stay tuned......

cool, hope I can swing picking these up when they hit the public.

Dan, not yet, I'm hoping to this weekend.....

that is slick, with a capital cool!

David, another beauty from your bench, good looking rig, your realism amazes me, well done.

Chuck, you are the master of grunge! another beautifully weathered rig.

absolutely beautiful trucks, as mentioned, they look like the real deal, great work.

you are on a roll, this is gonna look soo cool. engine looks dynamite!

well, chrome wheels won out, gotta have some bling on this rig to go with the theme. I now have a roller front hubs are white, rear hubs are same blue as cab, can't really see it, but they do reflect in the wheels. stay tuned for more of phase two..........

I like the exhaust idea, that would be cool.

that's what I call stocking up!

going to be a tough looking work truck
