Just finished this one up. I completed a Mustang, trailer, and this truck for this months club meet theme. Truck goes together fairly well. I've had this kit for over 10 years and never found an excuse to build it until this year. 

Tamiya white primer with Tamiya pure white over that, followed by model masters turquoise over that for the two tone. Then a pearl clear over top of that. I used some small chrome pinstrips for the paint separation lines that I wasn't thrilled with. 

Truck tool box is from BNL Resins

I forgot to take an engine shot, but distributor is a M.A.D. distributor.

Let me know what you think

It took a long time to settle on that color combo. 

I didnt like it still until after I put the pearl clear on it... then I liked it.

    That is a real good looking truck. I like the two tone paint. And the colors are a good choice. The trailer and race car look good as well.

Excellent paint choice. This has to be on of the best build ups of this truck that I've seen in a long time.

Jesse, I love this build and I love the trailer/racecar/tow truck combo. I'm doing something similar too, as after I saw your trailer and how good it looked painted, I picked one up too. My colors will definitely be different, but still -> Thanks for the inspiration.
