Top notch! Does the kit offer the hull with "stressed skin" or did you do this additionaly?

Nope,the hull is flat, but i painted it with highlight and shadow to fake "stressed skin"

I stumbled across the kit (2014 Corvette Stingray (Revell 07825, 1:25)) by coincident and saw that Karl R. (Karl R.) had completely messed it up (release date, name, timeline). He is new on scalemates...
I only noticed it because I was wondering about having the C8 in my shelf. I corrected this mistakes and wrote Karl R. a PM. I hope he understands and above all: can you see what data he corrected on other kits? Hopefully he mixed not something else up.
By the way: the C8 already exists on scalemate since January 2023 - only without a boxart (Corvette C8 Coupe (Revell 07714, 1:25)).

I see he made some changes on the timeline of those kits, but I don't know what is right or wrong.
'87 Buick GNX (Monogram 85-4018, 1:24)
1995 Ford F-150 XLT (AMT/ERTL 6106, 1:25)
Ford Flareside Pickup (AMT 6951, 1:25)
The last one is a future release, but in stash of many mates?

@Eddie ... thank you very much! I see this boxart the very first time. I still see the US box. Cool!
@bughunter ... Thank you for some more. How did you find out?
On the Buick I changed back the timeline (after a short research)
The 1995 Ford has also changes in the timeline but it seams okay.
On the "newest" Ford he changes a lot more and mixed everything up. The model still has it's old kit number but he updated the timeline, product data and a wrong boxart. Changed it back after I researched the kit on the internet and added the "new future release"
The only thing what's left is the review, Bob Hall added.

Yesterday I wrote to Karl R. too and he apologized for the mistakes. I beged him to do some "homework" and thinking about, whether he can remember any other changes he did.
At least, Tim / scalemates should take a look on the database.

To give you an idea of the size.
Everything other than the cab and the tractor chassis is scratch-built.
Projekt: Bedford Dromedary.

New photos start at number 10.
This may give the impression that I've completed this in a couple of weeks...it's been nearer two months. Although the build is complete this update doesn't take us to the end of the build process.
Thanks for having a look. 🙂

Thanks Alec. I've tried cast parts in resin before and it wasn't very successful, this time I used silicon as the mould and that made all the difference. It's really easy with silicon. 🙂

Holy moly - what a nice little model! Great work so far 👍 Sorry, I was not in the mood to follow all the nice builds here, so I discovered it lately.
And thank you very much for mention me in the album info 😉

No problem mate, I have times I'm not in the mood to comment, quite often really as I'm a grumpy old git. 😄
I hope to get the final photos posted at the weekend, it's finally stopped raining here so busy doing other jobs at the moment. 🙂

Finally got around to taking some photos of this ridiculous beast, thanks you all for following the build. 🙂

Thanks David. 👍
Thanks Neuling, although you're mistaking me for a proper modeller if you expect a dio. 😄 😄
I have to be in the right mood to to do a dio and at the moment I just feel like building models. 🙂

Wow, very impressive and excellent work with a lot of scratchbuilt parts - love it 👍

Thanks very much Christian. Apparently the drivers didn't love them because they were sooooo slow. 🙂

A small piece of tarpaulin over the first bows would make it even more interesting.
No, it was a joke 🙂 Nice model of a vehicle with British style.

Thanks for CaptGPF for poiting out the scrstch building. I would have completely missed it and thus a very enjoyable build report.
One of those builds that would have looked really good without paint too.
I got stuck with my QLD over the humps as I did not manage to shape them identically. Your idea with the jig might breath in some life into that build again. Thanks for that too.

Thanks very much matiepoos! 🙂
Buggy, I'll let you in on a secret just as long as you don't tell aaanyone else....I just got fed up with working out how I was going to put the tarp on the back and do the lacing onto the tie-downs. Therefore I decreed that it was nice day and they wanted to have the roof down. 😄 😄
Michael: I managed to confuse some others on a different forum about how much of this was scratch-built. Confusion seems to be my natural state and maybe I'm infecting everyone else. 😄
Spanjaard: I've even surprised myself with this one. Am I finally getting the hang of this modelling lark....then I see Frank's work and think how much further I have to go. 🙂
Thanks again everyone for you nice comments and to anyone who has clicked on 'Like'. 🙂

Thank you very much for the trust you have placed in me, gorby! Of course I won't pass on this secret, but will take it to my grave.

Istvan - That's a good idea. They are still on the spue and yet to be repainted in chrome with SMS Hyperchrome paint.
