Thank you for your reply, I'll have to think which system to use, thanks for making it a bit clearer.

Sorry for the delay in my response. So I have to make an oil tank and fit it to the rig, then run a fourth line to the trailer? Sorry for my ignorance on this.

I'm doing the REVELL AUTO TRAILER No 1509 , I'm going to mate it up with my Kenworth 900 rig. The question is I have 3 lines going from the rig to the trailer 2 air lines 1 electric , am I right ? The trailer has hydraulic pipes for the rams BUT where does it get the hydraulic oil from, my thinking is it has its own supply tank and pump, which is not in the kit. Can anyone help with this, and possibly a diagram so I can make them. Thank you.

Force. Thank you so much for your reply and the link , alot to read but very educational . As blue and chrome one is cheaper I'll get that. Once again thank you . Chris

What's the difference between the Kenworth 900 dump truck models. I have seen a blue one with what looks like a chrome back, and a red one with a different back. Is one better than the other or are they the same? The blue one is cheaper than the red one , but I don't like the Chrome back, although this could be painted.

Success 🙌🙌🙌😃 .The new different aerosol silver went on and no bleed through. My big thanks to all on here for your help. It goes to show that a world wide community of modelers can be so helpful to someone. Love this forum 💕

Thanks for this info. I think the problem is the silver aerosols I have is more silver and not much of the metal flake in it. I'm going down town tomorrow and see if I can find a better paint.

Thanks, I paint stripped the model off so I can have a fresh start. Sprayed light coat of grey primer, and then a good coat of silver, it looked good so it was givern a coat of gloss varnish. This morning some of the green has come through over night. I think I will give it a coat of silver again on top of the varnish and see if it comes through again.😜

Many thanks Bainford. This is the answer I was wanting, thanks also to Sandboarder, and Jollysipper for the idea in the first place. Now all I have to do is try it.

Thanks will see if I can find some over here. Or something similar.

Thank you all, BUT here in Cyprus we don't have model shops so everything has to be ordered on the net, preferably from EU countries, if it comes from the UK we have import duty on it as well. So I have to forget all these fancy things and try practical things. Like the first answer. Now Sandboarder you say silver under the primer, can I put a lite coat of primer first then silver then the colour?. By the way I only have aerosol cans from the local store, basic primers etc. Not set up for airbrush yet, again it's all expenses. Again thanks , sorry I didn't make it clear from the start. By the way I have paint stripped it back to bare plastic again and it now has a matt finish to the plastic, I wonder if it's took alot of the die out as Jollysipper has said?

Thanks. I knew someone would know🤠

I'm trying to spray the Italeri model of the Australian Western star. The green plastic one. I have now put on grey primer,one coat of gloss white paint and the green seems to bleed through, so I have now sprayed 3 coats of white primer, doing all the usual things in-between, sanding etc , but it still has a green tinge to it. Anyone else has this problem and how did you cure it. 🤬

Thanks to everyone,and to Ace- Garageguy for the diagram, I have just found a video of a truck on its side and it the same setup as the diagram. Now I've got something to work by. Thanks to everyone 🤠.

Thanks, so let me get this straight there's a U.joint both sides of the support , so I need to make a support and two Propshaft. The one that goes to the rear axle needs to be angled down, is that right ?
