Sarcococca Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) This Heller kit is a fine detailed model with only minor disadvantages. Most of the parts are very crisp with plenty range of additional detailing. Most notably are several sinkholes and a wrong seat mount for the french version. The plastic is somewhat soft and needs a carefully handling if sanding is necessary. Both fronttyres with minor deformations. Used colours are of a broad range of different brands and mixed with other colours to achieve the worn effect. ( So it is nearly impossible to give you a useable reference of colour-numbers) : Tamiya Red, White, Darkbrown Gunze Grey, White, Bluegrey Windsor Oils Black, White, Grey, Ochre, Burnt Umber Pigments Pigeon Grey, Ochre, Black, dif. Rust pigments Buffing powder (C1 Metalizer) Detail painting with several Valejo paints Chipping mostly with Valejo Black Grey and small sponge parts Accessories: Hoodpins (Scale Production) Screw Heads (Aber) Toggle Switch (Top Studio) Pipe Clamps (Top Studio) Tools (Hasegawa Garage Kit) Padlock (Hauler) Extra details: Toolbox scratchbuild Headlights drilled out Battery mount scratchbuild 5 ft. finger bar mower scratchbuilt Seat mount scratch built Hood was milled out to scale thicknes As many other forum members declared, I wish more Utility vehicles in 1:24 too. 😁 Edited June 15, 2018 by Sarcococca Wrong words used 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpion Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 That is truly astonishing. With the background detail I'm still not convinced you haven't just gone to the local farm and photographed a real one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Amazing model. Could be easily mistaken for the real thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you’re on Flickr, search for a modeller called Chuck Doan. Like you, he has “the eye” for detail and colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 How is it possible to make a model look more real than the real thing? That is truly, jaw-droppingly amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
