IT"S DONE! Who would have thought this would be my most eventful model built to date. Firstly it was commisioned by my grandson to give to his grandma (other side) as a memorial to her departed husband who actually had just started to build this model (not much more than unboxing it). Secondly this is essentually my first truck model (and I had very little knowledge in this area). This is about as close to an out of the box build as I will every get with the only changes and additions being, all of the clear parts (missing from the box), front drive shaft changed for aluminum tube (original was very badly deformed), additions included trailer uncoupleing lever, air brake hoses, photo etched seat belts (a safety feature), rear license plate bracket and upgrading the exhaust stacks with aluminum tubing ( I just had too) LOL. Paint is out of the can Tamiya Mica Blue overcoated with Tamiya Pearl clear and two coats of Tamiya clear. Lastly I had to take five days off in the middle due to getting a pacemaker. So while I was honoured and pleased to build this for my grandson! ----------- No More Trucks!
