Here are some updates on this project. I haven't been working on it as much as I would like. Attending college full time is taking more time than a full time job. But anyway here are some of the things I have accomplished.
The body is painted and attached to the frame as well as the drive wheels. I used BMF for all the compartment hinges.
The cab is all painted and I happy with the results. M/M Classic black over Testors Dark Red. I just started to paint the sliver trim by hand.
