Tamiya Deuce & a Half

[John Rixon]

Still work in progress, but have got to the stage now where I tinker with paint and mud every now and them! Cracking kit (as ever) from Tamiya, with no issues other than the wing mirror!!!!!


I'd suggest to anyone making this, cut the mirror off its stem and make a new stem from a small paper clip or similar, then cyan it to the model. The supplied one will break as soon as you look at it funny…

It has sparked an interest in Soft Skins, AEC Matador is next on my wish list, but not at £45!

Very nice John...if it's got mirrors, I break them.

Very nice John...if it's got mirrors, I break them.

Ha Ha, glad its not just me! I had a suspicion that this would be the case, just wish id thought of the wire bit earlier...

Great work john! Almost there, like the tires, now don't over do it, I like the subtle weathering
