This took over two hours. The indents were larger than the decals liked.
Project: DAF 95 XF & Trailer "Köln Truck"
13 16 June, 18:26
Martin OostromI spent a couple of hours cleaning up some parts that I cut of the frame
22 June, 18:33
BozzerThese 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
Martin OostromI 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
Martin OostromAnd primer is on after a monster session. 200ml primer + 50ml SLT = just enough.
Primer is zero paints grey. But a dirty grey.
18 July, 16:16
Martin OostromTamiya Bright Red for the chassis and Zero stone grey as main colour for the interior
19 July, 13:51
Martin OostromThe Zero stone grey was a bit depressing, so I mixed a batch 50/50 with white to lighten things up a bit.
Tamiya aluminium was airbrushed, and Tamiya black as well.
Done with airbrushing for now. Letting the paint cure before decalling.

BozzerThat's pretty good moulding. I thought they were PE mate.
I'll get some pictures up myself, tomorrow, of what I've been up to?
It's been a rollercoaster, that's for sure!
20 July, 21:50
GoldmanGreat progress with the DAF
I do hope Revell will re-release all of its classic and colorful kits like this one. It will looks amazing with all the decals.
30 July, 07:16
Martin OostromStarted with the decals. They're a bit older and fragile. Should have read the instructions better. Would have made life a bit easier now.
I don't know what Revell were thinking, but some of the curves are too steep for these decals. It takes a lot of softener, a hairdryer and a boatload of patience to get them right. Even then they tore in places. And I've only done 5 pieces.

DaveHi all, I'm on the hunt for aftermarket Halifax bomber extended wingtips. Looks like both companies I have found are out of business (Aeroclub & Alleycat). Any other suggestions?
29 July, 22:58
Alec KLook like UncleBillsHobby has it marked for sale (you can see on Handley Page Halifax Mk.6/8/9 Wing Tips (Aeroclub V141, 1:72). Or try make your own 🙂
30 July, 00:00
DaveThanks, I did reach out. We'll see if he replies. Making my own??? Wouldn't know where to start.
30 July, 02:32
Alec KGood luck with it. Not sure how complicated the wingtips are, but if there is a will there is a way 😉. And welcome to SCM, hope to see you posting some project pics 👍
30 July, 10:21
gorbyI think you would be surprised how easy it is to make something like this. You just need a sheet of plastic card of a suitable thickness and a few basic modelling tools. You could even use the photo from the Allycat page to get the correct shape.
If you give it a go, I'm happy to offer help.
30 July, 13:29
DaveThanks you two for your help thus far. I found plans this morning so I'll print them off and rely on them for shape and size.

The Testors Italeri Puma built straight from the box, including the awful Jerry cans and super-thick antenna

JohnI think it looks fine. I sometimes like to build the older toolings out of a desire to see what I can do with it, plus that way I don't feel as bad if it comes out awful!
30 July, 13:25
DoubtingmangoThanks John! I loved those old Testors/Italeri kits with the box cover showing the finished model dramatically lit on the workbench. One day I'm going to try and recreate one of those box tops!

Łukasz GlińskiInteresting example you have selected - 7447 is the one that was used for escape to Austria and hence the special colours:
