I agree with you regading the tires.Those rims on the picture will be replace with other ones. I used them only for a mock up. I hope that I find some old ERTL or amt tires.
What about your N950?
I had added air and fuel lines to the chassis. It is not 100% correct but I think that it give a bit live to chassis. The engine will be next thing that I have to detail.
I had bought this kit year ago from Dans Model from Romania.
I had cut the hood. This will be hinged. I also changed the resin front axle with a more stiffer one from KFS
Here is my latest project that I'm working on.
I combined the Dogde D200 Crew Cab with the Utility Box from the '64 Dodge Utility from Modelhaus. First of all I had cut the one piece Crew cab body into 2 pieces (Cab and P/U box). Also both chassis were cut in half and the rear ends were changed vis versa.
Base coat with different shades of red and brown from Tamiya.
The weathering was done with Hairspray and some salt. MIG Pigments were also used.
Next step is to add some filters and washes.
Cool build. I just working also on Dodge with the utility box. I'll do it with crew cab. One question about the Slant Six. In which Lindberg is the Slant Six?
I totally agree with these experiences, although Norm don't call me due to the fact that I'm living in German. As soon as a order is ready for shipment he gives a short information.
BTW who is Chief Jospeh?
Dominik,
