I’ve had this in my stash for many years since I’m building all these Japanese Aircraft I need a starter truck. I’m replacing the kit wheels with some PST 2.5 ton wheels that look more prototypical.

Peter. Thanks for stopping by and the complement this is a fun build I was a little worried about before I started it but so far it’s going well
Steve. Thanks for the complement the washes are working for me this time. I’ll post some more update pics soon wait till you see the wheels and tires I chose to put on it made a big difference.

Well I just can’t walk away from this build today it’s just so enjoyable. I didn’t like how the starter mechanism just had a piece of plastic there when there should’ve been a chain so I dug out some old HO scale chain I had and replaced with it. I also added the wheels and gave them a wash and painted some of the interior
Now for the rigging
Thanks Rick for the complement a few more minor things and I’m calling it done
Lee,
Looking good nice work on the chains.

Seems appropriate, rigging it with wire made in Japan 
Paul. Thanks for the complement I didn’t know if I could pull it off with that chain so small but I took my time.
Jakko. Thanks for stopping by and that’s funny never thought of it that way
