mini update…

[Johnnych01]

Looking really good… Don’t forget, when you do the hubs and the weathering there would always be one or two with a leak

[metalhead85]

Looks excellent. Beautiful beast you have there. Love the paint job!

Very nice progress. As I have this kit in my stash, I am very interested your build. Keep the progress updates coming.

Thanks for all kind words… I couldn’t find the exact references that I was looking for, so I went a bit off the beaten path and didn’t include the license plate. The final version is as follows… Almost ready for first coat of varnish …

This is a great model - one of the best on the site! You’ve captured the busy look to a tee, and the finish is spot on.

Man, that is looking nice. I have been wanting to grab this conversation but at the same time I am hoping some one will do an injection mold kit for us otb.
