Another one thats been on the bench for far too long that I'm going to call finished for now. This started as a partbox bedford s-type resin cab and after a failed start and a failed paintjob got put aside. the chassis is from a mercedes actros, as is the twin turbo diesel v8. The bed is going to get some sort of load in the futurs so has a quick coat of aluminium paint for now, though it will change. The wheels are 1/18 cragars with some wheel backs used as rear drum brakes. The paint is black top, fading into purple middle, fading into blue bottom then cleared with a heavy coat of the same pearl as the charger. The roof was pin striped with artists pigment pens and gel pens.

That came out real cool Les, and the wheels really set it off and fit perfectly.
One super tough old bus mate ..

Looks neat, I like it. It certainly got hit with the ugly stick though. (but that is ok.)
