Engine looks reight at home, how much will be visible when all said and done? Thanks a lot. Unfortunately almost nothing will be visible. It will be partially visible from the grid on the sides, that's it. |

Thanks a lot Bob and Carlos  Carlos it's a very nice kit to build. It's a little boring when it comes to put together all those axles, but the build sequence is so close to the real thing that it makes you understand how every little piece worked in the original tractor |

Great stuff Luigi - pristine clean building there my friend  Very nice and with Working Boingy Bits?  (Sounds like Boots' Chat Room huh?) lol LOL They are working but in the end I'll glue them as they are too easy to move. |

Luigi, this kit has great detail. And you're doing a very clean build ! Inside the vehicle looks as pleasing as outside.

Nice update Luigi! Lots of detail on that engine and chassis, look forward to seeing the paint fly at least for this stage. |

Looks to be assembled with care, had to be as it's turned out so well. Primer will be a nice sight also, but hey-who's in a hurry?
Fine progression on what appears to be a fiddly but nicely done kit.
Regards,
Mark

Thanks John and Mark Well, Mark, I'm a slow builder as a young daughter, a wife and a dog tend to get between me and my bench If it was up to me, I'd be as fast as Neems. Oh, well, maybe not THAT fast, but I'd be considerably faster... |

Small update: I had finally the basecoat done on the chassis and engine subassembly.  Next up weathering and dirt on the engine. |

Thanks for all your nice comments I hope to get some washes on tomorrow, then it'll be streaking time (AK rust, fuel and grime), and then I'll spray a subtle layer of True Earth's general ageing to give it the worn and burnt look that hard working engines get in a short time. that shot right there gives me an idea......ok never mind. , now I'm curious... |

Very nice and with Working Boingy Bits?
(Sounds like Boots' Chat Room huh?) lol
