Doug 1061 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just finished this up a week or so ago. My local Hobbytown started carrying Revell paint so gave it a shot....will have to try it a few more times to see if I like it or not. First impression is good. Good kit overall, just have to be so careful with all that chrome. I found that those blue nitrile gloves work well for not getting fingerprints/scratches on it. Trouble is with gloves you can't tell when you get a bit of glue on your finger. Box stock except for alcoas and a decal sheet from Model Truckin. I built that cabover Pete 6 or 7 years ago, figured since it's blue I'll just use it for a tractor. I think they make a good pair. Anyway, thanks for looking and comments/critiques welcome. Later, Doug. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 That is gorgeous in the sunlight. I plan on building mine in a pretty metallic blue too. I like the gloves idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dan, yep that is melting snow. We had anywhere from 2 to 10 in. this week depending where you were, -10F a couple nights ago. Still have the snowy months ahead of us. Oh boy.....
