Looks nice.  Really like the color . And the 1/1  truck went thru several color variations thru the years

I know the opening doors pose a challenge , but its nice to see you nailed it just fine .

When I built mine many years ago, I managed to get the doors to work. Which is a nice feature of the kit , especially for the time period it was originally tooled up.  But sadly a few years back while dusting ,,,mine  took a nose dive off the shelf and the only way to repair it without a major overhaul was to glue the doors in permanently closed position.

 

A tip, when dusting pull them off the shelf ONE at a time, then after dusting said shelf put them back on the shelf ONE at a time. Trust me

I got her finished today. I had fun with it and the kit posed a few small challenges but it is now complete.

Thanks , Mike

Very nice build on that LRW Mike, as you did a great job. I've been lucky enough to see the LRW a few times at the drag strips, and I know the owner of the latest (?) LRW who has this in his collection..............................

Great looking truck. I'm working on this kit presently. What paint did you use to shoot the body color?

It is Testors spray Custom Red Metal Flake #1629

Thanks , Mike
