Well my first real scale model truck has reached the end of the road. (The RC Tamiya thing don't count as it is not a true scale model as such.)
When all is said and done an OK build. Challenging? Yes. Building a multi part truck cab is always fun having to build an outer and an inner makes for doubletrouble the fun. The fit was pretty good so that helped. Although it is ment to be there I recon that the gap between the 'floating' cab and the chassis is a bit big...
Do it again? Yes Already two in the stash lol. Build can be seen here: https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/ian-ms-actros-mp4-giga-space-italeri-1-24.41974/
Anyhow;
Painted with.....TAMIYA paint! The Bodywork in 'Candy' Green Pearl but not sure if Tamiya has understood the meaning of candy. This too was far to opaque to be a candy. The chassis is Pearl white. (Which needs to be over a white or silver base as I found out!) These where decanted rattle can paints. The rest is good ol' tamiya acrylic. I like their blacks. Gloss, satin and mat. Orange glass are clear orange and the 'sunroof' smoke. All thinned with Mr Hobby Self leveling thinners.
Comments are, as always, welcome.
The end
