jack_c Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) This is something I've been working on for a while It started out life as: UH McCormick Siku Massey 4270 Tim Toys Massey 4260 I find the Siku cab looks better than the Tim one and the Tim bonnet is more detailed than the Siku one hence the use of both I am fairly pleased with the finish but Glue decided to come out the side of the tube onto the cab glass Then when placing cab on after completion I had a driver inside who was too tall (just a britains driver) stopping cab going fully on so it had to be removed meaning the paint flaked off in a few places, Although these aren't that noticable it has taken the shine off it in my opinion, The buckrake is scratchbuillt and the beacon is folded down so doesn't get caught on low rooves All painted with genuine MF colours from the colour chart Hope you like, Edited September 1, 2012 by jack_c 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The glue misting isn't that obvious from this distance, anyway you could pass it off as a window smear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
