While I'm in my model A phase and this is the next victim.....poor thing!   The interior is going to be wood strips, hanging off in places, no engine and I'm going to have a go at faded lettering on the sides. So wish me luck guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bill |

Lets hope I can do the weathered lettering Matt. I've read a few blogs on how to do it but when it's on your own model.....well that's a little different.
no hurry for the pics I've got the van in progress then holiday for 2 weeks and then a 1/16 Bel Air wreck to start so there's plenty of time my friend

Thanks mate. Well I have painted the victim green, Tamiya matt green, and thought the name on the side would be Tamiya also. This has been done and weathering has started but I am so s**t with a camera that the photos are not worth looking at. I will recover from the alcohol overdose I am suffering from at present and have another go .
