11October 5, 2017Mind the gap. This being an older snap tite kit, dry fitting is hard/tough/impossible.

13October 5, 2017These tanks seem acceptable.
14October 15, 2017Right original, left drilled. Better!

33October 21, 2017After sanding & smoothing
34October 22, 2017These tires will be impossible to get right without rescribing. Which I won't be doing.
35October 22, 2017Left original, right treated.
36October 22, 2017Almost forgot a red part.... This one actually is pretty clean. Just some very light sanding.

39October 22, 2017Degreased and drying. Time for priming!
40October 23, 2017First batch primed Alclad High Gloss Black. Started with the interior and noted I accidentally had loaded Alclad matt black microfiller. Luckilly I didn’t start with the cab.
41October 25, 2017Test piece. To the right Alclad 107 Chrome over Alclad’s black microfiller primer. To the left same Chrome over Alclads High Gloss black primer. Spot the difference 😉

50October 29, 2017Choices. Which logo should I use?
51October 29, 2017Picked the top one. Cut out the shapes in the masking tape. Screwed up the lower left one. Is going to be tricky to get them right on the model.
