The plastic piecing particularly for the bed was really good but I had my problems with tape bleed on the cab with a wood color interior and the white and red exterior. I challenged myself to do the roof in red while the illustration showed all white with red fenders. Just goes to show what online research will lead you to try on a scale model. Not real sure about the correct engine color. I found the stove bolt six in both blue and green. Someone thought that cars had the blue ones and trucks had the green ones. I painted mine blue anyway. I also think the firewall should have been that gooey like black stuff but many restored vehicles painted the firewall in the body color and some even painted the engine in body color. Anyway I had fun with it! Thanks Julian for recognizing how neat a kit this can be.
