I have completed the M1062 Bulk Fuel Trailer.
I painted it with a spray can of Krylon Ivory paint. I gave it a few washes of brown and sand acrylic paints, then drybrushed with a sandy color. I also added some spilled fuel on top using Tamiya Smoke paint.
The decals match the M1088A1 truck it is mated to; 13th Theater Support Command, 610 Quartermaster Bn, 418 Transportation Company. It is not based on any specific trailer, but representative of actual ones used in Iraq. The “Flammable…” decals are from a German decal set from TL Modellbau that includes the “Flammable No Smoking…” markings in white, as well as black. I used the white ones on an M49A2 a few years ago. The “Flammable 3” placards came from a set by Star Decals.
Here it is.
I really like how the trailer came out. It shows that with a little elbow grease and TLC, you can turn a mediocre snap-tite kit into a real gem, in my opinion anyways.
