Hello,

 

one last update before I go to summer vacation for the next two weeks (then only summer, sun, beach, ocean, bike, drinks, food, ... )

 

Most of the kit's parts are glued together, it is ready for beginning the painting now ....

 

 

Cheers

Hello,

 

the cab is painted and sealed with a layer of clear coat, ready for weathering now.

 

The chassis also assembled, tires painted and wheels mounted (front wheels in steered position). Now also ready for the weathering.

Hello,

some little progress at the IFA. First I have finished the dumper and installed it on the frame of the truck. Some weathering followed. 

Some cargo was added, namely the concrete mixer from Plus Model, painted and weathered, some painted wood and two plastic barrels ... 

The cab received the outside mirrors, lamps and a single frame at the center of the front window, which is missing in the kit.

Now some further details followed on the cargo bay ... and some last touches ...

Cheers
Micha
