arni Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Taking a break from the jet truck with this. tinypic is messing me about,there is supposed to be the box art here not a scantily clad very nice young lady....... Got it up the rolling chassis stage,still got the shocks to fit etc. The cab back is fitted too,just a bit of cleanup but not a great deal! While the pickup bed has been partly assembled too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arni Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Take two on the box art... Done the shocks in body colour. The body in colour,it is Tamiya coral blue. Bed wise it has a slight warp and the tailgate is being glued in place hence no paint yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arni Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Got the window rubbers done with a sharpie' The rear was easy and done freehand - one tiny mark to be removed! The bed has been sprayed and gave the grille a wash with Alclad jet black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 +1 to the no snow plow crowd Unless. .. you change the color to red add a light bar and print "Mr Plow" decals. I could get behind that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
