A small fiddly build with PE that I don't like to deal with so have copied the parts to plastic.  Painted a bit, fitted the cab, test fitted the rear bed. Wheels/tyres are weird as the tyres alone are in four pieces! Although the acrylic paint say 'Matt' it's too shiny so may rub it down or try and spray a dull coat if I have any.  |

Thanks stitchdup, yes a real eye test with two magnifiers. So today added the tyres and wheels, added more matt brown and added side bars to keep the load intact.   Even with magnifiers the windscreen wipers, part plastic, part PE are just too difficult to cut and attach, so may have to leave them off unless I can think of something else! |

Nice work Pat, can't say I've had a lot of experience with P.E parts.

Thanks Deano. I've tried them before but in 1/24, 1/25 scales. But not in 1/35! Metal parts, brass finish on metal sprue, difficult to cut as there is very little space between each part and you should paint and use super glue or something similar. The windscreen wiper consists of the part that fits to the body (about 2mm) and the wiper blade sticks to that about 3 mm long! I've had to cut out the radiator grille to fit into the surround and that's the largest piece about 2mm wide and 4mm high and had to use Molotow chrome pen or could have used alloy colour paint!

Just the door handles to fit. The doors took a lot of time to get to fit. I found a plastic 1:32 scale windscreen wiper, modified and fitted it.  |
