Oh, a kit from my favorite area of interest. I'm in. Great start with the instrument panel.

Like the plane and the livery you are going for.
My two cents on one or two aspects: I found the brass undercarrige and the cockpit section you listed as aftermarket pretty useless. The undercarriage doesn´t solve the problem to ease the alignment of the landing gear and the cockpit section doesn´t provide any better detail than the kit parts. I set both aside and rescribed the soft outlines of the cockpit doors. Pouring transparent resin into the cabin windows gave a nice flush appearance. You may consider that.
Good luck with your build. I will follow with keen interest.

Thanks Michael and Nicolas. As my second kit to build, I thought I spice it up a bit with some aftermarket stuff, indeed, the new cabin with the new windows gave me some head scratching as to how install it, then figured it eventually out. My alignment looks a bit messy and I hope u can make it look aligned with putty etc… so far my opinion as an inexperienced builder is that you could safely leave it stock, as is….
I did not come yet to the brass parts and hope it will be better with these parts. Let's see 🙂

I am happy to take a seat! I personally find red liveries extremely difficult to pull off, so I am watching with great interest!

Following this challenge.
The Aerocraft cockpit will require a lot of sanding, but the original windshield is definitely too narrow - been there, done that 🙂

Taking a seat. And fingers crossed that the strength and motivation will last until successful completion!

I spent a couple of hours cleaning up some parts that I cut of the frame
22 June, 18:33

These curbside chassis, really upset me. Just like the Volvo VN. If the manufacturer, went to the trouble, of making an engine, and separate frame parts, with other kits, then why would they cheap out, on kits like these? I love what you're doing with this though. Keep the pictures coming, buddy 👍
22 June, 19:35
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
I didn't put up pictures of all the cutting and sanding. A summary:
All parts are cut, sanded and glued where possible. Only a few drops of filler were needed.
The cab consists of 10 parts that need to be positioned just right. **** job, but I think I managed.
Next up: Primer.
18 July, 09:20
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
And primer is on after a monster session. 200ml primer + 50ml SLT = just enough.
Primer is zero paints grey. But a dirty grey.

I'm glad to see, that it's not just me, who does all this type of prep work. I've spent far too much time and money, on tools, gizmo's and fabrication of various things, just to try and speed up this process. Yet, I still end up falling back to the back of a #11 knife blade!
I'll hang around for this one mate, mainly to see the outcome of those amazing decals. But also to watch how the trailer goes together?
I helped my son build the Spacecab, way back in the early 2000's. He didn't enjoy it and abandoned his efforts 🙁 No wonder he became a plumber 😛

Kerry Cox taught Peter Hardy and Peter taught me: "Better remove those lines, you'll always know they're there."
I mostly use the cutting edge of the blade to scrape, I'll try the back sometime.
I assembled the chassis today and it seems perfectly straight. A lot of work remains before I can start on the decals.

If you draw the edge, of the back of the blade, it gives you a nice smooth, flat surface. It also doesn't dull your sharp blade? After a while, it becomes second nature. I have found, that those nasty mold lines, show up even more, when paint is applied? Even when I glue two parts together, it's always the back of the knife, that deals with the seam. You should definitely try it, and see if you notice the difference.

The doctor is in 😄
I managed some work on the axles Tuesday evening and I had half a day to myself yesterday. So I built the box with a lot of added plastic to get everything squared. I'll be sanding the outside and I don't want the thing to fold.
The mudflaps were unconvincing , so I went to town on them. Your opinions please?
26 May, 07:56
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
I've heard of guys, filling in reefers, with expanding foam?
I've never personally done it, because I like the option of opening doors. Those mudflaps look so much better now, too.
26 May, 19:34

Mmm, insulation foam in a reefer….
There is/was a load of cyanide in that stuff. Not something I want to emit in my hobby room.
My 2k also contains cyanide, but those vapours are mainly vented outside

I have never checked mate, and I've used it for sealing gaps, etc, for decades? However, I've definitely not used it on any models. In fairness though, all my current reefers are from AMT. I love the fact that they use 1 piece plastic, for the sides, base and top. It definitely makes them sturdy. I do have a few Italeri reefers though, and I was thinking about lining them with thin plastic? I don't want to compromise the look, so I thought maybe some 1mm sheet, would work? What do you think mate?
27 May, 20:21
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Lining with 1mm sheet is a possibility, but … see my new picture. On both sides there are two half rods running the whole length of the trailer and the ceiling is littered with protruding ejection marks.
The floor is smooth as the ejection marks are on the underside.
This Revell edition has water slide decals, the Italeri reefer I have has two big stickers for each side. Will be hell to line up, so I'll probably paint something.
27 May, 20:54
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
On large decals, it's best to cut them into 3. It just makes things easier. I honestly wouldn't have a clue what to do with stickers though? That's exactly what I have, on my Smokey and the Bandit 2 trailer.
Which reminds me...
Jerry from Modeltruckin, is retiring. Last orders are being taken upto end of July. Get them decals ordered mate, before you can't get them again!

I just took a closer look at your pictures. I see those rails now. I'm guessing that they were a feature, to stop pallets from ramming up tight to the side, on the 1:1 version? The injection pin marks, I can Dremel away. You've actually got me thinking about digging out one of my reefers now, lol

In the real one, there will be a strip with slits to secure the cargo. But those are generally not that high and low. See picture.

Late to the party. (I have been really busy with my wife's garden and my 1:1 car) Following. Making your box square and straight looks like quite the endeavor.

Dry fitting the door showed a small gap between them. I later added a strip of styrene to the back. Stiffening the doors by accident.
I removed the moulded rear lights, only realising too late that they're hollow. A thin sheet of styrene helped. I also glued a strip to the storage bins. Too much sanding otherwise. Now all trailer parts are ready for painting.
16 June, 18:25

Definitely impressed, Martin. Smart building by improving stability in the beginning of the build. I particularly like the improvements with styrene
17 June, 06:17
![](/profiles/img/48725-851-s.jpg)
I wonder if that PE is going to be the bars and locking system, for the back doors?
18 June, 02:24
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Primer's on! It took over 4 hours to paint the truck and trailer in my tiny booth.
18 July, 16:19
![](/profiles/img/65234-189-s.jpg)
But the result is a success. Looking forward to see your progress of this big one

First colours are here. Tamiya bright red, Tamiya silver and not shown, Tamiya aluminium straight from the can on the reefer itself.
