GoldmanGreat model. You cannot get more tough-looking than these old American trucks

Curtis CadenThank you, Martin, Goldman, Neuling and Bozzer. My wife is not big on the distressed look of weathering and sometimes my weathering just muddies it up. So yes, it is factory fresh and my wife suggested the purple color for the cab. Bozzer the hood on this one work as good as the Western Star wrecker's!

BozzerNot being a critic mate, but I noticed that between this and the mixer, you have the orientation of the vent, different ways? I believe that it should be vertical, not horizontal? However, on all my kits, the pins, or holes, were moulded so the vent was horizontal. I still think that it's an excellent kit though. I actually enjoyed doing all my international trucks. I think that I only have two left, to build now?

Curtis CadenThanks, Bozzer, I got it air intake grill flipped. The only other International truck I found on eBay was the Logger and I am not sure I want to build that.

BetterTimes-HenryLooks great. I have the kit in my stash, will have to build it soon 👍

Desert MarlinAfter two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!

Desert MarlinBiggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.

Desert MarlinModel Master Neutral Gray on the underside and Vallejo 71.043 (US Olive Drab) on top. Lots of Tamiya Panel Line accent black overall.

Desert MarlinI have seen claims that Olds first two kills were in this specific aircraft.

Gary VictoryReally nice work DM....Lovely build.
Best story around Robin Olds in a P-38 was that he got behind a flight of 109's.....he was ready to open fire when his engines cut - dead. He had forgot to switch tanks to his internals when he jettisoned his external tanks. Instead of resolving his fuel transfer issues he just carried on lining up on the 109 and shot it down while in 'glide mode'. That's calmness under pressure for you.

Never a ProGreat build! The nose wheel is up, does the the nose weight ball included in the kit need to be reinforced with extra lead?
17 October, 07:04
Desert MarlinThanks all…
The nose wheel appears elevated because I use a sheet of glass on my bench. The glass is 1/4" thickness.

Desert MarlinNow if I can get my antenna insulators to compare with Bernhard Schrock's Sea King! Definitely a worthy target!

I was already sorting out my setup for the final pictures when I remembered some last chores still to be done.
But two ...

Michael KohlHi Ben. The engravings of this kit are so delicate that they loose depth with the application of primer to such an extent that panellining becomes quite tricky. I would continue to prime models where this doesn't seem to be an issue but modern airliners or small scale models with such fine engravings I will try to do without. I suppose propper surface preparation and use of colors with more 'bite' than acrylics would be a good idea to avoid issues with paint adhesion.

Petar ŽorićNot priming a model with fine shallow lines is a great idea. I would guess if you use stronger lacquer based paints its not an issue. Will try this on my next model with fine lines! Awesome progress BTW looks really good!

Ben MTamiya makes "fine surface primer" I think for this application. I find it does not level as well as the regular product though.
12 October, 12:55
Michael KohlAlmost done. Now I have to adjust the shine. Even with the use of flat clear from Mr. Hobby the paint appears too shiny. Afraid to use AK Ultra Matt as this will be as matt as matt can be and thus maybe a bit too much. Then painting the radon and mounting the exhausts.

Michael KohlI was cheerfully positive to finish this bird today. But the gods of modelling had other plans. After removing the canopy masks I discovered an area where paint/varnish has crept under the edge and marred the inside. Shit. But I will live with it. Then I recalled that the seals of the canopy were still to be done. A quick freehand job seemed to be a sure road to regret and disappointment. So I was in for another round of masking. Painting will follow tomorrow- hopefully.

Snake PlisskenFinish looks legit; is that a semi-gloss or satin coat? Sometimes model planes have too much of a flat or matte finish.
16 October, 21:47
Shane HodgettsCheers…legit is what we're all looking for…😉👍
I used the Mr.Hobby semi gloss rattle can just before applying the decals…then weathering on top. Was going to hit it with a flat coat but kinda thought it looked "legit" as is…😁👍

Starting my first open-top AFV. I’m going to go straight out of the box on this one for the most part.
