  1. The second coat is much better I think.
  2. The first coat of paint has produced some interesting results. Talk about shiny..!!!
  3. Here's a few photos of a little project that I have on the go at the moment. It's an A&N Trucks resin DAF 106 XF cab but I'm grafting a KFS DAF bonnet onto it as well as stretching the cab slightly. Some of it is a bit challenging but it's getting there slowly. Hope you like..!! More soon.
  4. Have a look here at the etched bits. CTM 006 & CTM 015 I haven't used those particular ones but I have used a lot of the truck related ones. They are very good quality and CTM are good to deal with. Hope this helps. http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php?id_category=19&controller=category&n=47
  5. Here you go Arni. I'll not put too many to clutter up the thread but these should give you an idea. The tyres are the old Italeri hard plastic ones from the accessories kit that I sanded down smooth. Apparently the real one runs on slicks that have been "sanded down" to leave the bare minimum of rubber on them as it has a tendency to depart from the canvas at those high speeds. The engines are scratch built from various pieces of plastic pipe with a bit of copper added for rigidity. The frame is just made from various Evergreen strips. As I said before, I scaled it up from an old 1/32nd scale kit so it probably isn't 100% accurate but it was fun to make. Hope this helps.
  6. Looking good so far. There is another jet truck about in America called Shockwave. It is based on an older Peterbilt and has three Pratt & Whitney jet engines fitted to it. I did build a 1/24th scale model of it that was scaled up from an old 1/32nd scale AMT (I think) kit. If you want any photos etc. of what I did, let me know and I will send you some. Neil
  7. At last, it's finished. Hope you like it..!!
  8. Pin stripes and decals always make a difference. Getting close to finished now. More soon..!! :thumbsupup:
  9. I've finally finished this earlier. Hopefully it looks OK..?
  10. Thanks Richard. Yes, I'll be at Telford in November with the Truck SIG display.
