That engine looks very good!

And the very finely detailed throttle linkage is awsome!
Those end pieces cannot be more than a fraction of a inch big small!

Sorry to about the wheels... Luckily there comes a next build ! :-)

The engine.... whoa!

I, too hated molded in radiator fans.

Everything else looking pretty good. Looking forward to see what you can do for the wheels.

Thanks guys. It's all but a rolling chassis right now. Will be working on the wheels and tires.

Finished the engine this morning with the radiator hoses. Right now I'm test fitting just to make sure that the body'll lay down properly on the frame and that the wheels are going to clear everything in their installed positions. So far..........I'm good with this:

Here's the basic interior with all the parts cleaned up. Not a bad layout really but I'll be adding a few things here and there to spice it up a little bit.

Ok fellas. First off, I shot my usual shot of flat black on followed by a coat of Tamiya German Grey. I finished it all off with a coat of Tamiya X-22 clear so I could apply all the decals on the seat, door panels and dash. After the decals have set I'll go with a coat of satin clear for the seat and door panels.

I see a lot of Microsol in the very near future:

This kit has quite the extensive decal sheet for the engine and interior as well as the truck bed. Looking forward to working with it.

So, decals for upholstery or did I misread sumpin’ here after the fantastic engine finish? If so, I’m scratchin’ my head in wonder... seriously excited to learn more and thank you for your weekly broadcast. Cheers.
