le_marbrier Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Waiting for good weather to achieve my Scania wrecker I've started a new model. This time I'll try to detail it more. At the beginning I thought to detail the engine and the frame, but I've got some difficulties to find pics of the "plumbing" of the last one, and the few I've found show me quite a complex system. So I don't know for the frame...Maybe next time. So for the moment only "extra-plumbing" and parts were added to the original Revell Cummins NTC-475 Twin turbos. The dashboard was painted instead of using the decals on the sheet Edited May 18, 2014 by le_marbrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baloney Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 i always thought that cummins engines in a kenworth or peterbilt were white........ very nice details on the engine by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 i always thought that cummins engines in a kenworth or peterbilt were white........ very nice details on the engine by the way. That was only up until a certain year( I forget) and even then there were plenty of Petes with manufacterer colored motors in trucks while others had white motors.

Kenny B Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Franck, Kenworth looks good. One thing that I noticed is that the bolts that are sticking out of the brake pods needs to be cut off. Nice detail. Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwrench3 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow -- nice ! What color paint did you use on the exhaust pipes ? They look fantastic ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le_marbrier Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Wow -- nice ! What color paint did you use on the exhaust pipes ? They look fantastic ! I used a kind of "dry brush" of Humbrol 85 on the lower chromed parts, and painted the inside of the exhaust pipes with the same reference. For the parts between the engine and the exhaust pipes main color is Humbrol 56, then dry-brush with Humbrol 70 and 85. Did I correctly answer the question ?

I'm new to the whole "drybrushing" thing. Can you explain more about how you applied the Humbrol 70 and 85 after painting them with Humbrol 56? Thanks !
