MPC Deora show truck

[magicmustang]

Had this kit in my stash for decades. Pulled it out and got her done. Added a 4bbl carb to the engine and used the optional exhaust pipe as I didn't care for the body side exhaust.  Added parts to the interior to make it more accurate. Kit did not come with a tonneau cover, so I made one, (need a roof beam decal from the latest release AMT Deora kit to add to the cover). Corrected the rear taillight panel. Paint is Testors rattlecan Inca Gold lacquer. Future acrylic clear coat. Build tread in the WIP model truck section. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Nice job.

Great paint color and finish. Like how you redid the rear end.

Good looking Deora. The colour looks right on. I never cared for the side exhaust treatment, either.

Redid the taillights as per the pics. Mounted decals on the above chrome panel and they are reflected in the angled chrome as below.

Added new wood grain decals (thanks Oldtrucker) to the tonneau cover and rear panel. Now It's done.
