Managed to get a bit done on the chassis, lots more to do.

What color are you thinking of going with?

[iamsuperdan]

I have this one, but it hasn't come close to the bench yet.

Watching, with great interest!

Thanks guys. I got this thing last week and couldn't wait. 

 

And as for color it's going to be mesa dusk or Smokey caramel metallic, code wa333d. The color was available on most gm products in the late 90's. Starting in 1999 for the hummer. My 1:1 sonoma is the same color. It's hard to photograph but in person is awesome.

Well little update on the hummer. Got a rolling chassis and the engine built. So far so good.

SO I have to say, this continues to prove that a kit CAN be made to appeal to adult automotive model builders in the US, AND, have actual tire manufacturer markings! The detail here looks really really nice.

[Jordan White]

Unfortunately they are fake made up markings, for their Jeep kit they removed the sidewall markings.
