tbill Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 thanks guys! the excavator is now all yellow [have had it for quite some time now, waiting for the perfect project to pair it with, along with the trailer, lol], and tonight i put the final coats of clear on the cab/hood/sleeper, so with luck, i can start decals tomorrow, and maybe wrap this up [or be close] by the end of the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm impressed with how this kit builds out and what you've done with it. Excellent work Tom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 done-da-done-done...... finished it up today. pretty decent kit overall, the decals were a bit tricky, and the kit chrome was pretty bad- lot of debris in the plating. the poor chrome worked out ok though, as i striped most of it as i felt the truck really wouldn't have been all chromed up as a work truck bound for long desolate hauls across the outback. i also swapped out the kit wheels and tires for wheels and tires from Double Take Replicas, i think the wheel/tire swap really made the build. anyway, here it is, thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotnitro? Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Looks great tom !!! Truck looks ready for serious hauling duties now, stripped of all the shiny bling !! The tire wheel swap really compliment this truck tooQuestion, are those marker lights on the hood corners in front of the wheel arches?

SpreadAxle Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It looks nice with the new wheels and tires. And yes, from what I read, the truck is too long for Australian specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 thanks guys Jeff, yes, those are marker lights, and yes, i totally forgot to do anything with them, every time i looked at the hood, i kept thinking i had to do something about those and never did..........i still have to do some touch up here and there, so when i get to that i will fix those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
