[PhilJ]

I found this in a local collectible shop it's 51 piece and with some cleaning up and some filler I'm sure it will make a nice little model for my boys new Marvel themed bedroom

I'm going to add a little extra interest behind, maybe a wall with some posters and a alarm light. A question about lighting will go on shortly if someone could help that would be great.

I don't think I've ever had a transatlantic parcel delivered so fast. I ordered this through Amazon UK from Mitros Toys in New Jersey on the 25 January and it came today the 31 January! As soon as I opened the packaging I started to laugh, what silly box art work! I don't normally save the box top art, but as this is by far the funniest I'll pin it on the wall of my cabin where I do all of my modelling!

I did ask before I bought it what scale it was but it's not anywhere on the box, but I'm pleased because it is quite big and lends to a bit of detail work!

From what i've seen on the t'interweb it's a very nice detailed kit, and even better £3. Nice find Ian.

Have fun, John

Yes I've had a cab unit ( for an artic) for some years so stretching the chassis to turn it into more of a box lorry. Also looking a scratchbuilding a surf vehicle, Sandpiper, rare, lost one on ebay USA at the weekend when it went over $100! And of course having to print some more woodgrain decal for this one above.

My first airbrush so if you have same I might be chasing you up for advice ☺ what size needle do you use ?

For anything other than priming I use the 0.2 needle. This works fine for me with all types of paint, from enamels to acrylics.

I use the 0.4 for priming with Stynylrez as this gives a better flow.
