As i said, I just love those old style trucks, pity there are no 1/24 scale old Inters, Macks or GMC kits over here, sometimes see some old AMT kits on Ebay but it costs way too much to post from the USA.

Heck Lee, I was just a "Snotty" Teenager in 1964! But that truck looked vaguely familiar as I'm a bit of a fan of old internationals.....still have a complete grill from a 1937 D ("Corn Husker") flatbed. I thought that might be you on the fender of the rig you posted but I guess you weren't around yet. Good time to be alive back then.......not a care in the World!

Wow haven’t heard some one talk about Corn Huskers for years they put them on lots of trucks seems like they always ran the exhaust through the hood so the husk wouldn’t catch fire I’m not sure on that. That’s my older brother on fender he was 4 years old.

That is so "Cool" Lee..........sorry I didn't notice the family resemblance :rolling: That is a nice looking rig, I assume you are going to do your model in the same livery as the photo and put little Bill on the fender? LOL:thumb2: Rick H.

Thanks Rick. The truck will be similar to the pic and the trailer but I think I’m leaving Billy Boy off lol.

In my case, Junior's three Cromwells and a load of jerry cans and oil drums. I'll use some for my North Africa vignette but figured I might as well get them all primed as I had the AB out!

Finally managed to get the camo scheme done. Bit of a toughie but pleased with the result.
That looks very good. I take it you masked and sprayed it as shown in the last picture? Did you add the black lines with a fine brush?

that camo is more than my patients can deal with
They have to go to another doctor to treat them after they’ve seen it? :tongue-out:

"Bit of a toughie"......seems to be grossly understated from where I stand Mr. Jones! I think you should take a bow after that performance Sir. And well done

Kind words indeed Rick. Much appreciated my friend

That's not tough.... That's insane!!! Very well done indeed......

I thought it was insane at the time as well :smiling5: However once I got a method in my head on how to do it I enjoyed the challenge. Manythanks for the comment

Mine will be getting done in grey,that camo is more than my patients can deal with, very nice job mate.

Going for the borrowed/nicked German version then. Good choice. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Yes you are correct about the masks. I just drew the shapes onto Tamiya tape and cut them out with a sharp knife. The fun bit was trying to get them to all to interlock. I took the easy option Jakko and used an acrylic fine pointed Sharpie pen. Once covered in varnish I'm hoping it will withstand my weathering.
