Tut Paul no sprue shots. :rolling:

Looking good going to be a big number sitting on the sideboard. :tongue-out:

Sorry I will go and sit in the corner. Despite only being a 3 toner it is quite a big truck.

A little bit more work completed on the chassis, I made some springs for the front bumper as the kit ones were, well kit springs. They look out of round in the picture but they are round. Next a small chain made and added to whatever this is, it is shown in the reference pics and box art. Next the front mudguards were detailed as the kit fitting wasn't very good. The radiator also had some work done to it.




cheers

I shall have words with him mate. Glad you got in.

 

[scottie3158]

I'm not getting a lot of bench time but I have managed a little work on the engine. It is nicely moulded but a little simplified. So I have added a little detail including the distributer, spark plugs, cylinder block bolts and the HT leads and tube plus a few other things.


I still need to thin out the cooling fan.

Cheers
Scottie

 

[Road of Bones]

Yep - like that Scottie! Great detailing :thumb2:

 

[Steve Jones]

Very nice additions Paul. Will we get to see much of it on the finished build??

 

[BigGreg]

AAAAH I was expecting a new installment.... FINALLY... :smiling6: :smiling6: :smiling6: :smiling6: :smiling6:

 

[Allen Dewire]

Top work Bro, I love the details on the 4-banger!!! But I think you need to reset the gap on the #3 spark plug as she seems to be running a little rough at idle!!! Drive on...…….

Prost

Cheers Al, there is hopefully enough to add a bit of interest.

Hi Steve, thanks mate. I hope so I will try and model one of the engine cover open.

Allen, thanks mate I checked it and you were right the gap was a bit tight and I checked the static timing. Now running a bit sweeter.
