Thanks Greg, Shawn and Chris

These vehicles have this odd and unique extra set of fording wheels...

Image

They need painting before fitting.

And at last the end is nigh - tad after Chris :)

Image

In truth I haven't used much of the ET etch set. I had thought I was going to use the light guards but they actually seem oversized and bending proved challenging :roll: (How Does Gary do it :? )

Image

In the end I "thinned the plastic kit versions down considerably and then cut off the front vertical bars and replaced with some fine plastic rod.

Image

And before the paint shop in a mark of true laziness I picked these up along the way :lol:

Image

But more importantly - these will get used ...

Image

I love theses SKP model offerings :P

Looking really good Rob :D

Will you paint it green or have you something more fancy in mind?

I don't know how Gary does all the PE stuff either. I kind of hate him for it. :D :lol: Make me feel so insignificant when I work with PE. :oops:

Great progress by the way.

Philipp,

DEF wheels come with wheel masks :D

Mighty fine work Rob, are there any lane markers to go on the rear? Makes mine look a tad boring.
