You're off to a very good start. What are you using as a reference? I'm not aware that the dash is black, unless that is something new.

Hi Paul!

Great work so far. Oh man, I really like this truck.

My Buffalo has a brown/sand dash. I don't know if this can help you, but you can see my build log here.

Cheers!

I had the color down solid when I built mine, but can't find which color I used. It is, however, a color Ertl referred to as Buckskin on one of their old 1/25 International tractor rigs.

As with all ,I usually have big plans for a big diorama which usually disappears towards the end of the build of the vehicle, but it is my intention to get this on a dio with a building
