You might find one from another old Monogram truck kit. I remember one particular kit had one. Just can't remember which on it was.

Ran into an issue when attaching things to the frame...need to figure the cause before I can fix things:

Added more scraps to the interior-- some McD's wrappers, and some mail to hide the nasty bits on the Playboy ;)

Not entirely happy with my attempts at the box in the back but I do like the pizza box on the other side ;)

Man did I ever miss this thread!!! :headslap: I keep hearing and seeing such good things on this kit and they build up beautifully. You're doing a great job on this truck and I really like seeing all the details and goodies that you're throwing at it. Hang in there with the fit issues. I'm sure you'll get it fixed.

I like the 'payload' in the back. Maybe dirty up the pizza box a bit; make it look like it's been there awhile. ALso maybe add a shovel, a tarp, some rope and a bod.... wait, that might be a bit much.... :shutup: :oops: :rofl: :lashed:

There's such a thing as scale leaves and debris as well. I'll have to look through the history but I'll betcha I can find a thread that'll show you that stuff.

Thanks guys!

Mustang-

I've got a bag of pine siskin seeds that look just like Oak leaves that I'll add towards the end ;)

I took it all apart and tried again with better results I think. Also made an extension cord out of some sort tubing and the gun rack. Need to reattach a mirror and bumper and a few more bits... but here is some progress:
