German Cargo Truck

Some progress on my German cargo truck. Primed and base colours on cab and cargo bed. Some weathering on the chassis - need to finish the wheels with dust. Started on the cargo bed - the base color (Mr Color Wood) was very raw and red, as can be seen on the inside surface. I have washed the outside with a sand wash to drop the color intensity and then a grey wash to fade it a bit. Planning to go over the wood exterior with the yellow and chip it for wear and tear, also metal fixtures. Will probably fill the seam gaps on the cab that I didn't pay attention to first time round 🙂

I like the older model cabine. Main reason is the flag on the newer one looks a little too big and the triangle on the top is only used up when you have a trailer.😉

Ah, great, thanks Jack, I didn't know that 🙂 I agree. And I messed up the masking on the other one 🙂

This one made it back to the workbench from the shelf of abandoned kits. Then I leant on it with my elbow while I was doing something else 🙁

Come on Tom. You picked it up from the shelf, now fix her and finish her! You can do it!

😄 yep, very close now, Martin! A spot of superglue then maybe some dirt, rust and steel on a few edges, then into the spray booth queue tomorrow morning for a satin varnish and done 👍

Finished. I've overdone the varnish I think. Tried to get matte on the tyres and cargo bed, but it came out satin.

Album info
1/72 kit from Academy. In progress. Nice kit, no issues except my failing eyesight. There were no recesses for some of the items on the cab, which proved to be a challenge.
