Lee,
Looking good the changes you are making are adding to the quality.

What a beautiful truck you own Lee....and it must hold so much sentimental value.

Now if you could get that kit to look as good, you’ll be onto something :smiling4:

 

[Lee Drennen]

Scottie it’s amazing what little changes does thanks for the complement and stopping by

Si good to hear from you and thanks on the 1.1 truck it does hold a lot of sentimental value I will probably never sell it was the last thing my dad and I did together. Hope I can pull it off on the 1/72 truck but I might come close thanks for stopping by

[Lee Drennen]

Thank you Mr Race just like your work area

 

[Steve Jones]

Sorry mate. Totally missed this build. Looks like it has gone together fairly well. Good luck with painting all that stowage!

 

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Steve
I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to tackle it

 

[Lee Drennen]

After painting the tires and wheels I really didn’t like it at all. The tires do not fit right on the wheels to my liking so I when to the parts box and found some old PST wheels and bored the Airfix tires out to fit now I’m satisfied with this I’ll do some touch up and on to the rear wheels.View attachment 319448View attachment 319449View attachment 319450View attachment 319451View attachment 319452

Lee,
Good save on the wheels.

 

[Mini Me]

Definitely looks better!
Cheers, Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Paul thanks and thanks for following this build

Rick thanks I think so too I think wheels and track makes or breaks a model.

 

[Jim R]

Hi Lee
Definitely worth searching the spares box as the new wheels look the part.

[Lee Drennen]

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Ian
I’m glad I have extra parts to get me out of a fix like this it’s starting to look more like I want it now thanks for stopping by. Lee

 

[Steve Jones]

Wheels look a lot better now Lee. Good luck painting those windscreen wipers!:smiling2:

 

[Lee Drennen]

Thanks Steve
Going to get a good nights sleep and a quit place before I do that windscreen. And thanks for stopping by

 

[Lee Drennen]

I got the windscreen and headlights painted last night I will go back over the windscreen and try to clean it up after my nerves settle down what a job that was for meView attachment 320220View attachment 320221View attachment 320222View attachment 320223View attachment 320224

I really like this...Would love to do one in 87 scale. Paul E says they are available but pretty rough.
I already have a trailer....hmmmmm.
Cheers Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]
