GMC CCKW 353 Bofors 40mm gun finished

Hello folks,

 

Among so many other projects, I decided to start this beautiful and interesting truck from Hobbyboss 1/35 kit 82459, and I will added a set of Eduard 36208 photo-etched, a turned aluminum barrel from RB MODEL 35B97 and lenses and taillights SKP 196.

 

The kit and accessories:

Naturally I started with the engine assembly, which is very detailed and an excellent basis for extra detailing, I added cables, pipes. engine dipstick oil tube and minor parts. The pipe of the oil dipstick was made with a black plastic tube, but I replaced it with another one made with a syringe needle...much better.

Now, the engine painted with the light green base color:

The engine assembled, painted and wtth some weathering effects (not finished). Notice the new engine dipstick oil tube (syringe needle) :

The chassis is pratically ready...I still need to put the brake hose front and rear cables:

Very cool! I liked seeing that engine go from green base color to full finish. Nice to see that transformation.

 

I look forward to more.

 

 

Thank for looking mate.

'Morning Cesar. You've made a good start there. I like the idea of using a syringe tube for the dipstick. Brilliant!

You have really chosen a beautiful and, in my opinion, not everyday model.
It's also a favourite of mine, because anything to do with trucks is cool.
Up to this point a nice build and the painting is also well done.

Hello MD, thanks for lookng. 

I agree with your point of view about trucks. 

I really like the Chevrolet 30cwt. LRDG

I have one of these fully assembled and another one still in the box.

 

Cheers from Brazil,

Cesar

The work you've done on the bulkhead/firewall is brilliant, particularly under paint. Nice work on the bonnet side covers too.
