Rigzndiesel Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Here's one of a couple of trucks that I have been tinkering with. I've been slowly working on this 4200 project for a few weeks now. It's a project because I had to use the junk parts box to put this together. Thanks to fellow modeler Cappy625, I acquired a 4300 frame from him. I shortened it to make this a single axle truck. I'm using an AMT DD8v-71 engine with single exhaust. It took about a month to paint because the weather here in Colorado has been weird. One day we're in the 70s and then the next we're in the 40s making it difficult to spray paint. I think I painted it 4 times now and am at the point where its "good enough" to press on. So here is what I got done so far... Thanks for looking.....Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 That is definitely looking good....Very nice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I like it... Little hood, little engine, little frame, little fuel tanks, there is something going on here! What are you going to do with the rims? Paint them to match the rest of the "little" truck or leave them as is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
