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.20241122_000847.jpg20241121_235223.jpg20241121_235845.jpg20241121_235926.jpg

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

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

Looking totally awesome! Love it!

I plan to hollow out the airhorns a little then paint black inside.
 
My build is on hold tonight. I got to watch my university beat my wife's university!
She went to Texas A&M and my school Auburn University.
So far Auburn is up 21 to 7 and mama is not too happy.
 
43 to 41 Auburn in 4th OT!
Christi is sad and I'm happy :D

Back to the bench, now with a smile on my face!
