My early 1970's White Freightliner SD project

[JerseeJerry55]

Hello all. I am in the midst of my early 1970's White Freightliner project. Building it as an early 1970's type unit. The colors are Tamiya TS-11 lacquer for the cab, and Rustoleum Colonial Red satin finish for the frame and associated parts. About 50% completed at this point. Will keep posting as I go along.

Thanks Gator. I did the weathering for the most part last night and added the company livery to the doors of the tractor. The engine is next and also the radiator and plumbing, and perhaps some more weathering as well. Will post pics when that is completed.

Weathered the wheels and tires with acrylics I've been using. Also added the rear deck plate.
