Thanks Greg, Shawn and Chris

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



They need painting before fitting.

And at last the end is nigh - tad after Chris









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 (How Does Gary do it )



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.



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



But more importantly - these will get used ...



I love theses SKP model offerings

Rob

Looking really good Rob

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

Philipp

Thanks Philipp - this is going to be straight forward green.

Rob

Rob

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

Great progress by the way.

Shawn

I wont make the Sept 9th deadline but won't be far off.











I modulated down with Green to Dunkelgelb 8:1, 4:1 and finally 3:1





Rob

Paint looks good Rob.

I think the deadline is 9-11??? I hope anyways.

You already completed one or two builds so it does not matter anyways.

Shawn

September 11 it is. Nice work by the way

Did you cut the wheel masks yourself?

Philipp

Philipp,

DEF wheels come with wheel masks

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

Chris

There are Chris - currently working on them trying to gt this finished by Monday. And BTW yours looks great.

Philipp - As Chris says - the masks come and just make it that little bit easier

Rob

Ah, thanks for the info!

Philipp
