Tamiya 1/48 2.5ton 6x6 US Airfield Fuel Truck

Post by MakingModelsAgain »

This strange affliction that has befallen me this year continues as I build my third kit with wheels instead of wings...

The tooling is exquisite but not without its ejector pin marks...

Cab and chassis assemblies ready for some colour...
Image

But first, so tonal preshading...
Image

The sub-assemblies assembled and with a coat of Olive Drab. The windscreen fits externally, so it'll go on later.

Great work on the tonal shading, that's really worked well! Looking forward to the next update...

Not sure why but I do have a soft spot for the old trucks, keep up the good work.
