Thanks all for looking and liking. Even as old as the kit was, it went together pretty well.

Album info

Built OOB. This is an ESCI kit from 1976. For it's age, it was well done.

This was a simple build, albeit with a few mistakes. Specifically the engine hood/side panels; as I oriented the side panels incorrectly and had to add filler to bridge the gap.

Only add on was "glass" for the windshield via a thin clear mylar type sheet added using Gator's Grip Thin Blend craft glue. This glue is similar to the Micro Kristal Klear, either would have worked.

Paints were Vallejo (see picture) with Mission Model Worn Black/Grey Tire (MMP-105).

Alclad II Aqua Gloss Clear was applied prior for decals and weathering. Weathering was done with Rich Art Red Oxide for rust; AK fuel stains, AK European Earth Pigment (AK042) & AK Fixer (AK048) along with SMS Dark Brown Wash.

Final finish was a coat of Vallejo Matt Varnish.
