Looking good, but where did the green go

 

[Guest]

Sorry Dave it was an old can of auto spray i had left over & thought i would have enough to complete the build but alas no so i had to change the color.

Took the best part of two days to get this bonnet to fit & it's still not quite right but it will have to do.

If i were you Daniel i would go for the Italeri kit's as they are a much better fit & have a lot more detail in them.

I am presently building the 1/24 Italeri 2800 Cattleman. It is going together well. Parts fit well with one exception (the sun visor over the cab windscreen). The instructions are good. In particular, I have been able to rely on the instructions' order of assembly without finding later that a part cannot be fitted because another later one obstructs it. It comes with a lot of detailed parts including those to be added to various surfaces (eg., wing mirrors, lights, horns, exhausts etc.) and this takes time, a steady hand and lots of patience. It is making an impressive model.
