Moving on nicely now. I added an extra decal but think I'm going to remove it and make a better one......

Not over happy with the seam on the airhorns but don't think I will get it as shiny if I file it off and repaint it. Pantherman

Well I think I'm done, not great but it's the first truck I've built and definitely learned alot.

I think for future trucks I will strip off the chrome and repaint it as the chromed part's were not seem free before being factory sprayed.

Just realised that I have left off the trailer hose pipes and haven't chromed the airhorns. Pantherman

This is the metallic color I had planned for my build. I'll mix it with a pearlescent media.

Nice

I don't think I'll do any weathering on this truck. I'm going for a custom show type truck. I have a slight idea of painting the inside of the bonnet in chrome. But its only a thought.

This has been such a slow build for me.
not a race
