So far goes together well just a little filler was needed on the fuel tank.

Great to have you aboard gaz! looks like it will be an awesome kit. The cab looks like it will be a chore, 5 separate pieces

Finished building the chasis by adding the front suspension

This was then primed in black and painted up using
A 1:1 mix of mr hobby gloss black ans revell 378 dark grey silk
tamiya x-18 semi gloss black
mr hobby gloss black
revell 90 silver metallic
revell 09 anthracite
revell 378 dark grey silk
revell 30 orange gloss
mr hobby H4 yellow gloss

when dry it was clear coated

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

While that all dried I assembled most of the rest of the bits that go on

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Primed in black

Image

Then painted up in their respective colors
the grey/black mix
gloss black
semi gloss black
silver metallic
tamiya x-14 sky blue

Image

Finally for this update i added a few decals

Image

Image

Image

Image

Time to do some more work on this
I decided to strip the chrome parts in bleech which is a first for me
It went really well after about 2 hours it was all striped so then it was rinsed and left over night to dry

Image

Image

Image

Image

The wheels were then assembled primed in Ultimate black primer, painted up in Mr metal color chrome silver with the centre hubs on the rear wheels picked out in the black grey mix and gloss coated.
The spare wheel was then glued on with CA glue and the road wheels were dry fitted

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Now to start on the cab itself with it being in 5 pieces i'm guessing it's going to be a little tricky so i think time and patients are in order to start with i got all the parts cleaned up The insides primed in grey primer there were 6 holes to be drilled out in the roof

Image

Image

Image

Image

They were then painted in Revell 374 grey silk matt and tamiya X-18 semi gloss black and when dry clear coated

Image

Image

Image

Image

While that was all drying i primed and painted up the door panels along with some decals, the overhead storage, the grab handles and the second bed.

Paints used for these are
Revell 378 dark grey silk matt
Tamiya XF-24 dark grey
Tamiya X-18 semi gloss black
Revell 374 grey silk matt
Revell 47 mouse grey

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The door panels were then fitted to the sides

Image

Image

Just to finish this section off I CA glued the front of the cab to the roof

Image

That is all for now thanks for taking a look and for your comments

Now with the windows in and masked off the outside got a coat of Ultimate black primer

Image

Image

Image

Image

The second bed was then painted up the same as the first one and then attached

Image

Image

the overhead storage was the glued in place

Image

At this point i decided to test the zeropaint i had got for this williams fw24 blue and i must say i was very impressed how it sprayed so i will be using more in the future

Image

Image

Image

Right the part i was not sure of doing and it looking right putting the cab together this was done over several days letting each part dry for a day before adding the next

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

in the end it went together pretty well

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

just to finish off this section i cleaned up and primed some of the trim pieces

Image

that is all for now thanks for taking a look and for your comments

Right it's time to lay the zero paint on this and i'm happy with the result

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I'm going to let this dry for a few days and then gloss coat it

Re: Revell 1/24 Man txg xlx (euro 5)

Right this was then clear coated with GX100 and leveling/thinner at a ratio of 1-3

Image

Image

This was then left to cure for a few days

While this was curing i painted up the rest of the parts

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

When all was dry it was time to attach these parts and detail paint the head lights

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then the cab was attached to the chassis it wasn't an ideal fit but it doesn't look too bad to me

Image

Image

Image

Image

Thats all for now all that's left to do is the rest of the decals and the chrome trimmings
