if that's a cummins engine, they are traditionally dark mustard yellow, kinda like gray pupon.

well the body and sides are painted. man I do miss my airbrush, the masking tape peeled some of the paint off. anyways the boom is painted to, got to do some touch up some time today. man I got to get me another airbrush gun. lol

Joseph first your build is coming along nice looking forward to seeing more. Here's a tip that may help your paint from peeling off I find that when I'm painting stripes that one I have to let the first color paint to cure at least a week or more and I use Tyermia tape. After I have the tape in place I brush on clear coat over the edge of the tape.

Here is and up - to -date on the build. need to do some touch up once the paint has dryed. got to hand paint them my airbrush gun has finaly kick the old bucket. after been away from model kits for a few years. but anyways , looking good.

[slusher]

Nice progress

Isn't there a big rig section for this?

[angelo7]

This is a very expensive kit. I tried to buy one but the ones I found were way over my budget. But I managed to find a simpler and cheaper wrecker from AMT, which I'm currently working on. You say your airbrush gun has gone bad, but you can finish the project with the old regular hobby spray paints. That's all I use.

[model1:25th scale]

I am free hand painting, but I do miss my airbrush gun

[angelo7]

Free hand painting is fine for the details but for the body at least I recommend you use the little hobby spray cans. They are not expensive.
