Finally got this finished today.  This is a stunning kit and it has taught me a lot about patience as being patient is the only way I would get the finish I wanted.  I wanted this to be 'as new'.  Not exactly showroom as I doubt I can get that good a finish.  One day this may sit on a trailer or low loader under the title 'Off to Truckfest' so it will be part of a double model.


I know it isn't perfect, I doubt I will ever do a perfect build but it has been a real pleasure to build.


You will notice I have the headlamps in the wrong place, only spotted after taking pictures.........

I think you're selling yourself short, it looks pretty showroom fresh to me! A great job I especially like the wooden bed, very realistic

Very nice Graham . I restored a Dinky tipper and I know how difficult it is to get that grille painted just right and you have looks a treat.

Happily, the headlamps are now in the correct place and the side lights are where the headlamps were.  I also forgot the door handles, they are also on  9_9

Great little truck Graham. Might have a go at one some day.


I like the idea of doing a dio with it on the back of a transport lorry.
