Hi all

This arrived today courtesy of my amazing wife!

I was almost intimidated when I opened the box!

Have never seen so much resin and PE in the same box.Any way after a few hours this where I got:



All best

Jon

You Lucky, Lucky Man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is not fair !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a word with my Mrs will ya Ferny ????????? I am having no success !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your secret ??????????????

Nige

Is that the KFS kit? I wish I had a wife like your's.........I don't get any new models until next christmas/birthday/payrise............reduced to remodeling years old stuff from a box in the back of the cupboard!


BTW - the chassis rails look curved - I hope that's just the photos.

She is not normally so generous, but had a PPI claim settled so said she would treat me!

It is the KFS

Its the photo that makes them looked like that.

Jon

Good luck Jonathan...I'll follow....

Hi all

Have built and painted the engine and gear box, which by the way is crying out for super detailing but will be mostly hidden by the cab.

any way some pics





cheers

Jon

Hi all

A bit more progress over the last few days.

First the cab with no paint


Then a coat of dark green and flat black


Thanks for looking

Jon

Hi Jon

How are you finding the instructions ??? Do they do the kit justice and help the part selection and fitting ???? What is the green you are using for yours ????

Nice to watch this one go together !!!!!!!!!!!

Nige

Hi Nige

The instruction are good but some parts are bit tricky to ID.

the green in the cab is Humbrol 116 us dark green (looks about right) the outside will be German field grey.

Have broken the back of the resin Im now on the PE and styrene strip fabrication! ( seats for back come in strip and box section!)

Hi all

Have been busy over the last few nights!







Each hinge is made from 2 bits of PE and 2 bits of plastic rod!

Thanks for looking

Jon

Hi all

Jon

Have you decided which way you going with the cargo body ??????? With or without the cover, and with or without the seats ??????????

Nige
