My entry: Italeri's 15cwt Chevy truck. Nice little kit for its age.



It's modified Mickey Mouse ear camo under that botched wash. Not sure what went wrong, but it won't come off and I don't feel like stripping and repainting.

Even though I see your point about the finish, it's a well made model Bob. One of my favourite kits, especially as it can be converted so easily.

Not that I've made many of them but I built the last one without anuy instruction sheet! :-)

What did you use for the wash? Are you planning on fixing it up in the future or leave well enough alone?

Dave: Yes, it's a nice little kit. I've had three or four of them for quite some time, but never built one. After this build, I think another will be on the horizon, perhaps a conversion.

India11A: The wash was a pastel dust/isopropyl alcohol mix that I have used successfully many times. It goes on clear, so you don't know what you are getting until it dries. If it's too heavy, I can normaly tone it down a bit with straight alcohol washes. Not this time.

I think I may have figured out what went wrong. I painted this kit with Humbrol enamels, so there may have been a reaction between the wash and the Humbrol. Every other time I've used this wash, it has been on top of Model Master enamels.

I think I'll just chalk it up to experience and not bother with re-finishing it. It'll go into the display case and never be entered in any shows.

All in all Bob it turned out great..I have been toying with the idea of doing either a tipper or an extended GS body with a an engineer boat trailer and collapsing boats...Great job..keep up the great work.

Bob,it looks alright to me.Looks like it was on a dusty road then a light rain fell on it.
Always look on the bright side.

Looks good, Jim

A great little kit for it's age and it has more detail in it then a lot of newer models. Goes togeather with not many fit problems as well.

Nice to see another one done.

Cheers

PS> No I will not comment on the paint job or wash :-)

In my modest opinion it is a great kit! keep up this trend! Congrats!
Cheers and happy modelling!

I think it looks great. To tell you the truth, it looks awesome the way it is right now.
