V8 Trucker Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 Hi everyone, Freightliner I painted in a plain light blue metallic of Testors (Pontiac Engine blue) and built without Decor, I find that emphasizes the classical form of the truck and nothing distracts them from. Also in this old Italeri kit I have the plastic tires replaced with rubber tires, then a few additional parts and finished was the Freightliner ............ Greeting Jan
gino Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 great work jan ! nice clean build ! I purchased this kit many years ago, still waiting to be assembled.
gatorincebu Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Jan, You did a excellent job on this one. And I agree about not using those decals that come with the kit. I think this truck looks pretty good in the plain Jane wrapper . Be Well Gator
GearUpJammer Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Sharp looking Freightliner Jan,crisp and clean!

Old Buckaroo Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Fantastic looking truck, I really like the color!
kilrathy10 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Excellent work, my friend....This is a great looking truck.....Very nice execution.....I like the single color paint, as well....I find that some of those kit decals can be a bit over bearing.....Sometimes a simple shiny paint job is all you need...And excellent swap on the tires.....I've always hated those plastic ones.......Great job....

landman Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Jan, I second all of the above comments. What is the finish on the frame? I like that sheen.
V8 Trucker Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 @landman: the color is composed of: 90% Testors Chrome Silver, 5% normal silver and 5% clearcoat.
Truck parts Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Great looking build. Clean and ready to go to work.
OlSchoolRedo Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Nice looking build! Frame color choice gives a nice custom touch.
