Not as bright as kit chrome but I think that stuff is too bright anyway.

Scribed the doors a little and sanded the mold lines away. Of course I slipped with my scriber so more work ahead before color.

Interior. I was going to go leather but then I saw a picture online of 2 tone gray and liked that better.

The chassis in color. I ran out of tamiya clear so I picked up the Rustoleum brand clear acrylic lacquer and tried it on the tanks. Big mistake, of course it fucked up the paint. Ugh.

I picked up some tamiya clear and sanded and cleared the tanks again. Turned out good. First try with pinstripe tape for the tank straps, looks good.

Sorry to hear about your tanks, Ken. I've heard nothing but bad news, about Rustoleum clear. Thankfully, we don't have it over here, but I've had the same thing happen, with a cheap clear, I once used. Basically, it was too hot, for the paint. This kit reminds me very much of my Hideout Truck, but the frame is longer on mine. I did enjoy the build though, despite it being a bit of work. Keep going mate, you're doing an awesome job! Remember to test fit all the plumbing, before you commit to glue? It's a lot of fingers and thumbs! Just find that easiest way for you and use the directions as a guide, not the bible. 👍

Back to my roots with this build. I'm not going to do any modifications, just box stock. Heck, with a semi truck kit box stock is enough.
