Glue bomb snow plow

The previous owner wasn't the best with glue. He even managed to glue the rear gate shut

You can see right here, how much glue he got on the gate. I couldn't save the hinge pins.

So this is basically how I got the kit

I managed to paint the engine blue, and the chassis semi gloss black. Transmission appears to be something that I must've been playing with, at the time? My memory isn't giving me any clue though.

Got some colour on

I definitely like the blue

While trying to fit new pins in the gate, I snapped the hinges. The plastic was weaker than I expected. So, I made new ones, with brass pins.

Just a couple of mock up pics.

This is just a distraction while I wait for some things to dry, etc.
The basic rundown, goes like this...
I picked up this kit in a bundle. It had been started and the previous owner even tried to paint some of it. Needless to say, I have my work cut out. That being said, this has been on my shelf for a couple of years now, after taking the engine apart and stripping all the parts of any paint. Thankfully, he hadn't touched any of the body. This thing has some hope, after all.

Lol, Cheers Nigel. I plan to get some cave time in today, as we've been promised thunder storms, so I may get a bit further with this? See how things pan out, after I've had a pop with the Macks?

Is that a pink Lonestar in the back? Very cool work on this snow plow truck. I like the color too

Lol, very observant Kyle. I have an album for that, on here. Progress is slow on it at the moment, but I'm gonna start things moving again soon.

I've seen the album! I had to go look again but remembered as soon as I clapped eyes on it.

Cool. I too have this kit as a glue bomb 😄 The predecessor glued the hood shut too (and the rear gate of course). Good: (s)he didn't paint the body.

It's a pretty robust kit, and it definitely has some weight to it, Christian. Only the hood mounting, let's it down, really. With a little tinkering, I think that we both, could make it better 100%

Will you be weathering the **** out of the blade and the loading bed?

But of course, my mate! My only tough decision, is the decals? I want something, East coast? I've got a couple of ideas though 🙂

Lol Bill! Now how can a guy with PA roots, go for NJ? It's a good shout though, because I've been over to Wildwood and of course, I've spent a few hours in Mega Hobby. I guess there's only the Delaware that divides them? 😉
