Cool!

Not posted much recently, but after the fantasy cavalry slog I fancied something a little different. I therefore picked this.

It’s been in my stash for at least ten years. It’s a repop of an ICM kit, so has all the ICM strengths and weaknesses. It has very good detail and is well moulded, but there are a little more in the way of seam lines and some of the location points are vague or non existent.
I’ve now got the chassis together…straight out of the box.


I’ve replaced the gearstick with a bent pin of the same gauge and head size because I thought a plastic one simply wouldn’t survive subsequent stages. Built the engine OOB for the fun of it because I will probably keep the bonnet shut. Not sure of the colour scheme yet, but am tending towards a desert type finish. One problem though, the kit has no decals. I must have lost them a long time ago. I don’t seem to have much in the stash so will need to source aftermarket stuff. Anyway, hope it’s of interest.

Excellent start, gotta love a flathead.

Thanks Scottie. Don’t expect your level of magic though ?
