Been more into modern(ish) trucks myself but this looks like it will be a good one so I will park here and observe if you don't mind.

Andy.

Sorry I forgot to take the sprue shots. This is a new offering from ICM and it comes in a stout box with a normal lid then a flip open box under that. The sprues are beautifully moulded in light grey plastic. There is excellent detail and no flash it cuts nicely and files well.

Following the instructions well nearly I have made a start on the chassis. Despite having numerous parts it went together well.

The only additions so far are the chassis clamps which I replaced with copper wire and plastic strip. There are also some small chains to add later.
As there is no PE available for this it will be pretty much out of the box with a few tweaks depending on the reference pics I have.

Enough of the waffle here are some pics.



I have a little work to do on the radiator.

Sorry I will go and sit in the corner. Despite only being a 3 toner it is quite a big truck.

A little bit more work completed on the chassis, I made some springs for the front bumper as the kit ones were, well kit springs. They look out of round in the picture but they are round. Next a small chain made and added to whatever this is, it is shown in the reference pics and box art. Next the front mudguards were detailed as the kit fitting wasn't very good. The radiator also had some work done to it.
