I’ve had this in my stash for many years since I’m building all these Japanese Aircraft I need a starter truck. I’m replacing the kit wheels with some PST 2.5 ton wheels that look more prototypical. B8F417DD-9127-4BD8-8BA2-254125FF324D.jpeg

Peter. Thanks for stopping by and the complement this is a fun build I was a little worried about before I started it but so far it’s going well

Well I just can’t walk away from this build today it’s just so enjoyable. I didn’t like how the starter mechanism just had a piece of plastic there when there should’ve been a chain so I dug out some old HO scale chain I had and replaced with it.
