A bit more progress to show.
I've done some work on the cab with rust on the roof and my first attempt at hand drawn flames.
I looked for suitable decals for the flames but nothing caught my eye so I decided draw my own. I made a paper template then held it against the hood and traced around the shapes. Not 21st Century cutting edge technique but it worked. Then I used a liquid masking fluid before spraying the various colours. The final touch was outlining the flames with a black marker pen. I would have preferred a thinner line but I'm happy with the result so far. Of course, the cab still needs to be weathered and the small blemishes you can see will have to be touched up before I finish.
Cheers and thanks for looking.
