            Truck construction is complete, now working the trailer. I use Testors' Dullcote Lacquer as a primer in advance of NATO camo.

              After painting and installing over 240 1/87 scale WWII US jerry cans, I needed a break.
              Trailer construction almost complete. Added RR decals for interest (unreadable from normal viewing distance). Currently working on the hose & hose reel.

                  They are beautiful Neil, and well worth the effort, but in some cases make other details look not as good.

                        It is easy Mick.....try it some time and see how it goes for you. But be careful, it is "catching"! Paul, nice progress on the truck and trailer, what's the advantage to using dull coat to prime?.....not heard of that before.

                          Great chemical hooks for marginal paint. My PollyS & Testors (various) are getting long in the tooth.
