Oldmopars Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) So, you may have seen that I am working on a Payhauler 350, lowboy trailer and International 4300 to haul it. The truck is done and now the 350 is finished. I only have the trailer to go. First off I love this kit. ERTL makes some great kits and R2 did a great job of bringing it back. Even if you build it box stock, it is a big build, 425 parts. So, I built it mostly OBB, but added a ton of hoses and weathering. I want this to look like a used, maybe 5-6 years old, not trashed, but they are getting their money out of it. So, not rusted out or dented up yet. I used all Rustoleum paints for the base layers, and Anita's (By Rustoleum) craft paints for the weathering. Hobby Lobby provided the tubing for all the hoses as well as the radiator hose that is actually leather. The dirt used is from my acreage, it is a super fine silt like powder I sift and use on my models. It is the right scale, about the same or finer than the stuff from AK. Please excuse the look of the headlights, the Micro Kristal Klear is still wet and it gives the headlights a white ring, it will dry clear soon, but I guess I got in a rush to get the pictures. Anyway, here it is: Edited November 28, 2020 by Oldmopars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincen47 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 A fine job with this one. I like the added hoses and detail. They are getting their money out of this hard-working piece of equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
