Looking forward to seeing this, really interested in seeing the tanker built up, would like to get one, but not sure how it looks built.

Posting this now so I don’t forget, here is the kit,

Better stop there, we gotta wait until feb 1st, lol.

Wing it....., you’re talking my language, haha.?

Ya, I know this is an old topic, but didn’t want to start a new one either, so ran with this? Was just curious what people were doing to clean these stands, thanks for the input fellas?

I myself don’t see it as an issue, nor do I think anyone else will, I think we are all on the same page, it’s fun and we get a little online comarraderie (sp? glad auto correct doesn’t work when you really need it, lol) from being in the build off. I’m more concerned with some of us finishing....., that’s more for making fun of myself, as I get distracted easily....... pretty sure jeff ( gotnitro) will see something shiny and be off on a tangent, lol......, just kidding buddy?

So, anymore info on this topic? I have four of these stands, the bigger ones are severely covered with paint, no big deal really untill the holes for the clips and the round holes get plugged with paint, the ones that hold the bodies have a huge build up on the ‘wires’, and paint ‘powder’ on the bases. So, are you guys putting yours in the ‘pond’, or just letting it build up out of control? Lol.

If you can find it, frog tape for delicate surfaces ( yellow tape/ yellow container) works very well, it reminds me of tamiya tape, just wider.

That came out great! Would love an outside pic so we can really see that paint combo pop.

This is a must read for everyone every now and again , great stuff, learned some new tricks. Thanks for such a great job Bill!

I’d do a two tone gray interior, medium/dark combo.

I’ve used quite a few of them, love them, and as mentioned they work good for interiors without clear coat.

Big thumbs up! Glad to hear progress is on going, have faith my friends.

I’ve used 3M spray glue , then sprinkle the flock on. Depending on color, I may paint close to same color on surface before hand.

Oh, I am so looking forward to seeing how these last two posts of builds turn out! Great stuff guys!

Love this build! Well done!

I’ve got a couple of these in my stash, the box art is horrible, but it’s the only game in town for the year. You’ve done a fabulous job on this build, and have changed my mind about how good this can look when done! If you know, what wheels and tires did you use ? I say if you know, cause we all have the parts bins of stuff with no clue where it came from, lol.

As luck would have it, I’m working on my 2018 build right now, lol. Have made more progress on it in 3 days than I did in a year.....

I’m going to do this kit.

Looking good! I’m betting that color combo is really going to pop out in the sun.

Looking good! I did one a few years ago, but went with green on the cab, may have to do another one, that white looks good.

I’m in, just gotta figure out what to build....

Thanks everyone, I’m happy with how it turned out? that is in fact big bad blue, good eye.

That is a thing of pure beauty, just gorgeous ?
