Little advice. Put the body decals on before you too far. Also they don't go exactly where the instructions show you need to work from the cab hole first. Pantherman

I see your making good progress .
Mines a different kit and decals but I won't be doing the paint scheme on the box so I won't be using the decals anyway, I'm going to paint my own stripes(try) lol
Thanks though.

A bit more progress, chassis had a coat of black and the engine and radiator are now glued in, fuel tanks and filters have had a coat of red,these will get a coat of gloss laquer and all the mounting straps will painted chrome. Painted the first of the chrome ,tried SMS hyperchrome sprayed over gloss black not used it before and seems OK for a first try.

Did you strip the chrome and repaint it? If so, what chrome paint did you use?
It looks really good

Yes it was stripped and repainted using this over a gloss black base

Got a clear gloss (mr colour)on the tanks and filters and the mounting straps black, dropped one of the tanks so will have to redo that one then a remask for applying the chrome over the black.
