Mark

Coming on very nicely.

As you say, is a shame that a lot of it will be hidden away, never to be seen again.

ATB.

Andrew

Thanks Andrew.

This is why I usually dry-fit things like the cab and bonnet to see which parts underneath them can go straight into the spares box :smiling3: With a lot of soft skins you can leave the entire engine out, or only fit the sump, and nobody will be the wiser.

Wasn't much I could leave of this,was only 15/20 minute build anyway won't be paint detailing.

Hi Mark
As Tim says there is some lovely detail. Just hope that quite a lot can still be seen on the completed model. Your build is very neat and clean :thumb2:
Jim

Thanks Jim got a bit of clean up to do but won't be to fussy unless I model it upside down in a ditch lol.

I have got the truck bed and crane.under way have some pe to add.to the crane and this nice little name plate for the winch.

Mark,
That's looking very good! I'm now tempted, and I can resist everything except temptation!

Lovely work. The etched nameplate is a nice touch.

Oh! I just noticed something I picked up on another forum recently when someone else built one of these: Is the central part of that crane boom fixed in place yet, or still movable? Because it should sit parallel with the two side booms, not between them (like, I gather, this kit almost wants you to put it):

It's done as per instructions might look into altering it if it's not to much of a pain otherwise it will stay as is.

Thought it time to catch up a bit with this and resist the urge to start yet another project (already built one and painted 3 planes this week!) Anyway, the chassis is painted as is most of the cab interior with some olive drab,engine won't be seen so won't be doing much else with it but next will be detailing the interior,fitting seats etc.

Don't know why the pictures are all sideways! OK on the phone!

The crane boom only can out so you could do a suspended tow. It would look nice if the outer part moved along with thew cable, so asking a bit much .

The cab takes me back Mark, not much changed in the later version.Cold as hell in the winter.The only good thing was the engine, on the exhaust we used could heat tins of compo on a long journey by sitting them in between the pipes.

The only moving parts on this will be the ones that go from the bench to floor! :smiling5:

 

[Mark1]

Bit more done in the cab and rear body painted

 

[adt70hk]

Looking good!!

 

[Guest]

Moving in the right direction Mark, that rear paint work really does look good .

 

[Mark1]

So been plodding away on this, trying to catch up with all the unfinished projects what with signing myself up with two GB's :rolling:
Body now fixed,wheels painted (not glued on) cab now in primer and a bit of etch.
