Thanks Andrew.Mark
Coming on very nicely.
As you say, is a shame that a lot of it will be hidden away, never to be seen again.

Wasn't much I could leave of this,was only 15/20 minute build anyway won't be paint detailing.This is why I usually dry-fit things like the cab and bonnet to see which parts underneath them can go straight into the spares box With a lot of soft skins you can leave the entire engine out, or only fit the sump, and nobody will be the wiser.
Thanks Jim got a bit of clean up to do but won't be to fussy unless I model it upside down in a ditch lol.Hi Mark
As Tim says there is some lovely detail. Just hope that quite a lot can still be seen on the completed model. Your build is very neat and clean
Jim
Shaping up nicely.
Looking very good indeed.
Well done.
Andrew
Mark,
That's looking very good! I'm now tempted, and I can resist everything except temptation!

Thanks chapsLovely work. The etched nameplate is a nice touch.
Oh! I just noticed something I picked up on another forum recently when someone else built one of these: Is the central part of that crane boom fixed in place yet, or still movable? Because it should sit parallel with the two side booms, not between them (like, I gather, this kit almost wants you to put it):I have got the truck bed and crane.under way have some pe to add.to the crane and this nice little name plate for the winch.View attachment 433748View attachment 433749View attachment 433750
It's done as per instructions might look into altering it if it's not to much of a pain otherwise it will stay as is.Oh!

The crane boom only can out so you could do a suspended tow. It would look nice if the outer part moved along with thew cable, so asking a bit much .Oh!

The cab takes me back Mark, not much changed in the later version.Cold as hell in the winter.The only good thing was the engine, on the exhaust we used could heat tins of compo on a long journey by sitting them in between the pipes.Thought it time to catch up a bit with this and resist the urge to start yet another project (already built one and painted 3 planes this week!) Anyway, the chassis is painted as is most of the cab interior with some olive drab,engine won't be seen so won't be doing much else with it but next will be detailing the interior,fitting seats etc.View attachment 441714View attachment 441715View attachment 441716
The only moving parts on this will be the ones that go from the bench to floor!The crane boom only can out so you could do a suspended tow. It would look nice if the outer part moved along with thew cable, so asking a bit much .
