Hey guys, I think this is my second post since I joined. I thought I had better get on this! I've been wanting to build this for some time, and now I'm off work on workers comp I have some time ….so to speak. I have several of these kits in my stash.  I already have my chassis assembled...  |

Looks great! Never opened the 1/16 rail I bought years ago. I'll be watching your progress close. Paul

This outta be fun to watch. Looking forward to the engine detail on this one. I see that you're black basing it. I do this to pretty much all of my engines regardless of what color I paint them. Helps me to establish some shadowing effects. Will be watching this.

Thanks for looking guys! For me the tires in the Revell kit are pretty sad looking and hard to work with. So I acquired a set of slicks from Ted's Modeling Marketplace. The rims from the kit obviously won't work, so I took two inner rims and mounted the mag between them. With a little trimming, it works!   I trimmed down the bead lock to fit in tire...  |

Wayne thanks for watching. I've seen your creations and you have some beautiful builds out there! I'm pushing my building to next level with this one. It's been in the planning stages for quite some time. Just need to get off the pot and stay with it. I won't be using all the nicer pieces I would like, as in braided lines and such. But it should be fun anyway...Joe
