Nice one Ken, looking forward to you starting this, as its one I'd like to do myself.

Ok so made a start on this seems like a good fit so far, and I've got to say I really like the new instructions.

Nice start Ken.

Not sure what's happening here. Trying to paint the rad and fan blade washed the sprue as normal in soapy water but the paint won't stick I've primed it and taken it off 3 times (other parts on the same sprue were fine first time) the rad and the fan blade just won't seem to take the paint (it looks like a grease problem) I've scrubbed it with meths even but still get the same problem.

Help.

Ive found this same problem eith paint and revell kits before i sanded the suraface with a corse sponge and it seemed to slove the issue

Hey mate it's not a competition I'm sure yours would be just as good.

Hi all done a bit more to this super detailed chassis (Not done a truck before I'm amazed how much detail there is just in the chassis) I think I'm only about half way through it.

I've started on the cab also. I used foil on the roof

I think it looks too clean so I weathered it a bit and added some other details.
