Cab and chassis done, with track finished today.

In this kit there are two options for the rear carrier, one is a totally covered unit or two which is an open pick-up style bed with sides.

That is cool! I love that little cab. What's going on the back?

Here we are Dave, a few bits on behind the cab and test fitting the rear bed, plus added matte black to the cab roof before a few more scuffs! And mud/rust whatever!

  I'll echo those comments, Dave. 

Some good progress on this one and I like the natural sag you've given those tracks Pat.

Cheers Joe, here's a start to some paint, so now deciding what colours on the bed.

[PatW]

More paint..

Winter's coming!

Having looked at the options in the kit, I'm thinking of making a hard cover for the bed area.

Nice finish. I especially like the scratch built cover for the bed.
