Jeff you've certainly raised the bar! I've learned a lot from this build and thank you for sharing your tips on detailing. Keep up the excellent work!

Question - where's a good source for the reflective tape seen on truck sides?maybe called DOT stripe?

Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm still learning

As promised..ITS PAINTED !!!! well, almost. The truck needed several layers , akin to a camo scheme , to achieve the final look. The silver is MM aluminum, chrome is Alclad, and the black is Tamiya lacquer .

JT should love the stripes..heard he has a thing for orange! Its testors International orange..fitting for the Lonestar.

Heres the pics..

laying down the stripes..time consuming, but better than a decal in my eyes..

If your planning to model the HD, you'll need to change the side panels on the hood. I filed the kit panels , then layed thin .010 strips for the new sides. These received a coat of Alclad chrome.
