Hi Rick
That is a cracking result but at braille scale it is even more so.

Thank you all for the compliments. It was indeed fun transforming this toy like
vehicle into something a little more representative of the real thing. Cheers, Rick H.

Hi buddy , this is great, love the exhausts and the resulting weathering, those tow cables came out a treat.
You ought to be very pleased.

Agree with the guys...very nice indeed, you’ve made a splendid job of the painting and weathering, most impressive given the scale:thumb2:

Hi Steve, thank you, I did enjoy this build and was mildly surprised as well. If you decide to try something in 1/87 scale check with Paul E. or myself, between the two of us you'll be able to make an educated choice and not be disappointed as there are some kits out there that are not too user friendly. Cheers, Rick H.

Have to return to this, Rick, considering what it looked like at the start, the out come makes you think it is in 1/35 , the detail is something else, certainly can't imagine what it was like to build, beyond me these days.

Thanks JR. The abuse is well worth the reward. Your compliments and those of the rest of the forum are what keeps me going.
Cheers Mate.:thumb2:
