Cummins1212

Came across another collection that I couldn't resist buying, some of these kits I've been searching years for, sadly no challenge mixer yet but someday

Started the long weathering process today, not much progress

Thank you for the compliments everyone. Michael I use 12 and 16 gauge wire with the insulation striped off. The individual strands of copper are roughly the right scale to imitate a wire loom running to a light, and multiple strands banded together imitate a wire harness, the air lines are single strand insulated wires found in most electronics. I get vcr and DVDs players cheep from good will and yard sales whenever possible, I could do a write up if you would like on the next kit in line

Made so me good progress, good thing only have 6 days left to get it done, added a stinger because I just couldn't fall in love to the short frame

Hi all, thank you for the compliments, made a little more progress today. Not a ton new but I did some interior work and finally chose a color for the bud wheels on the trailer, couldn't decide on the same green as the chassis or a off-white

Looks great!! Really looks right out of the sixties

Thank you all for the kind words, made a little progress it's a pretty slow going affair. Jim-I appreciate the tip but the reason I didn't put a stinger on this particular truck is the timeframe of the truck is set in the early 70s at least here on the West Coast most of the trucks didn't have stingers yet, but you are 100% correct especially on a wheelbase this short I normally would add a stinger but I have about two weeks left to cram six months of worth of work into this kit, so unfortunately there are just some details that I can't put on the kit. Below are pictures of current progress engine is about 80% done, one side of the cab lettering is done, frame needs another coat of paint after I plum the airlines and the rest of the wiring and add the logbunk and finish weathering the chassis you can see where I was experimenting with different colors on the frame and the fuel tanks

Building a ch and a peerless trailer for the father in laws birthday, most of the chassis wiring and bag lines are ran. I still have to plumb the brakes and under hood plumbing, swapped out the Detroit for a 3406A painted yellow to avoid the question of a white prime mover
