A slight departure from the hood fitting, The wooden jerry can pallet and the start of the jerry can painting, i thought i would go for a mix of colors rather than the usual Grey and Beige look, all for now, regards simon.

Thank you Michael, Frank, I am on the Home straight now to Finish, i can see the end in sight, not that these things are ever completed, the hood needs a little adjusting and some small jobs, Happy new year, simon.

Looking through this construction report again and again, it is always a great pleasure to discover the many delicate details that can be found in the equipment and in the absolutely unique weathering of the model.
One can literally feel the joy and passion that went into the build of this beautiful model. Absolutely amazing!
Many thanks for this inspiring build log.
Oliver

I Have been trying to get together some convincing looking stowage, it's not part of a build I've considered before but does require some attention, Looking at some Archive photo's the 7s were loaded to capacity, progress so far, regards simon.

Superb model Simon. Probably the most realistic weathering I have ever seen! It is truly a work of art!
