I really must figure out some kind of spray booth what not soon. I am fast approaching the point where paint has to start flying...

Got the suspension, and most of the other bits of the rolling chassis sorted

As is will hardly be seen I have put the engine and radiator in as well.

Going for a top down bed, so I build the case up and started all the dangly bits
I might put the frames up for the tarp and make a tarp out of tissue, the one in the kit, for a covered version, the tarpaulin and the sides of the bed are moulded in one... Not my cup of tea, even if it does look good.

It looks a well detailed kit Ian. Your making a great job of it also.

Looking forward to more, and I hope you get your spray booth sorted soon to see some colour on this.

I've never heard of this manufacturer but from your photos, it looks like a well-detailed and sharply moulded kit. What nationality are 'IBG Models'? Nice work so far Ian.

[Ian M]

Cheers Mike they are from Poland. There is a link further up the page, Just make sure that you select IBG in the manufacturers as they also sell Other brands.

I dont think they do things with wings though, lol

I'm agree! Looks a really detailed model. O_o

Looking very good so far, I'm waiting for your next step Ian.

I like the way this is coming along and it is looking very good.

Right after a bout of putting up blinds., laying flooring and painting the living and dining room. Walls and ceilings! (Not in that order I add) I thought it time to paint something sensible.

So connected up the compressor, and the airbrush and found some primer. Vallejo as I still need some extraction and it smells less.

After a bit of faffing around with the pressure I got the "big bits" primed.

This little beauty is a pearl for a weathering paintwork Ian....

Looking good!

Nice to you getting some paint on this even if its just primer Ian

That's looking A1 Ian.

Well I have been busy with "domestic service" the last few days, so been grabbing a half hour at the bench here and there.

After a bit of faffing around making a tarpaulin I ripped it off again and am making a pay load for it...

Not taken that many photos I'm afraid but this is where its at, The cab is just sitting lose at the moment.

The camo is free hand. the Green is Tank pads British green G3 and the "black" is Vallejo Black grey with a tiny drop of dark blue.

Here is the load. Foam rubber blocks with some grain free tissue and painted with loads of thinned down PVA. Once that has dried, I'll give it a coat or two more before painting it. I had to move the truck bed back a bit to get the petrol tank to fit, so need to touch up a few places on the chassis!
Need to put the hubs on and a couple of other snappy off bits then its detail painting and a bit of decal work.
