weirich1 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 I'd say this is a month or so progress on this beast. I'm using both the Moebius and Revell Germany instructions to build since Revell's are a lot more detailed. I have had no fit issues whatsoever, everything has almost fallen into it's location; the engine took a little caressing to fit in it's place but it's mounted solid. The frame and interior accents (and soon the bodywork) are Testors Model Master Turquoise as are all my paints and glue. Used a little CA here and there. It's a blast! Rear fenders are from a Revell Germany Alaska hauler and extra plated decking is from a Revell snap Pete. BTW, a Moebius 53' will be hooked up to it.
Bennyg Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Nice work work the extra bits from revell. Ben
slusher Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Great looking build so far. Real nice detail..
weirich1 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Change of plans: the Revell fenders wouldn't match up without major re-locating of mounting holes, which would have made me drill right into crossmembers. So I decided to use the kit fenders, re-located back closer to wheels, looks a lot more accurae compared to where Moebius holes were. Images once I get the chassis finished.

weirich1 Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 Don't have pictures, but I finally got the turquoise on the body work. Talk about a lot of area to paint.

Kostas Parchas Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I love that color, I like the retro apeal it has, especialy when combined with white and chrome... Nice work so far, keep it coming. Kostas.
weirich1 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Lot of final assembly going on--putting all the lights on, chromework coming together, snapped the hood trim strip (minor setback), cab/sleeper looking awesome.
