Now is the front and rear suspensions mocked up on the frame ....now that assembley is complete the next step is prime painy and weather along with the running of the air lines

Now im gonna jump ahead a little .......i have added the heat shield material with blue painters tape it will simulate the texture nicely

This is the utilitarian headliner it is made from 4 pieces of 10k styrene sheet and coated with 1200 mr surfacer

Wow man, thats some neat stuff you got there...
Who is the producer of that kit?

Wow, this is an incredible build! Especially for such a small scale! And the kit itself looks amaingly well detailed for 1/35 even before you started adding all your amazing superdetailing. Do Trumpeter only make Military vehicles or do they do other stuff as well?

Trumpeter makes some car, armour and I think plane kits as well. I\'ve got a 1/25th scale Chevrolet Nova 1963 sedan kit in the garage that is extremely well detailed. Lots of photo etch parts. Really worth picking one of their kits up.

the producer is trumpeter..... if you look back in this thred i have a pic of the box art...... i am adding alot of stuff that is not in the kit like the full Voyager pe set and a lot of scratch built details.

OK all ...... sorry i havent posted to this thread in a couple of days I was getting ready for a competition and trying to finish a couple of review articles....... hopefully i will have some new pics up tomorrow

Actually shark trumpeter put out some amazing car kits a couple of years ago like the chevy II nova ....really nice stuff , but they are primarily military.

Hey all! I\'ve been in the background lurking while checking out this buildup. I gotta say this kit hasamazing detailing for a 1/35 scale kit! This is the kind of detail you\'d expect to find in a 1/25 scale truck kit! Do continue please!

This is one of the two fuel tanks.... the molded on kit staps were shaved and sanded away and the 4 piece pe brass staps were shaped and added

The tank mount is 3 seperate pieces of pe brass the silver discoloration is actually silver solder ...... soldering of the brass is much stronger than any other attachment method

this is the tank sitting on the frame mount the only thing missing is i need to make 4 attachment screws at the 4 corners

look carefully there is a small brass atachment point for the headlight .....also the molded on light guard detail has been removed in preperation for the new brass parts

the front suspension is attached temporalily to the frame just to show how it is attached soon it will receive paint and the air brake lines
