Thanks Ken, it's French blue, but I've ran out of it. So I've just placed an order from John in the shop. It should be here soon so I can crack on with it.

Awesome work bub!!

Thanks Gavin.
Got the driver painted and-he's wearing the 2017/18 season Doncaster Rovers replica shirt. What a guy.

Nice decal work

I've nearly got the truck completed, ( that's as in built ) still need to do the slight weathering on it. So this part of the build should be done by the weekend.

But I've managed to push one of the side window in, that will need to be sorted when completed.
