phil phoenix Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I think this is one of Britains best models in a long time and it also leaves the opportunity to make it even better. As it has lots of painted metal on it already it just needs the engine cover and the teleporter arm and attachment holder painted along with the wheels to transform it. Pulling apart was easy, remove three screws from around the engine cover side of the model and drill out the rivet pin holding the tele arm in place at its base. The model just falls apart. Remove all the plastic parts, wipe down with thinners and cover the JCB decals with special painting tape cut to size. Then spray with official JCB paint.

phil phoenix Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Then fit it together again, adding various decals and painting small details. Just got to let the wheel hubs dry and the shovel attachment and I can piece it all together🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipher172 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 that looks great, amazing what a difference a bit of proper paint makes. Did you print the decals yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil phoenix Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 Here you go🙂................Its turned out quite well I think, better than my two efforts on the 4220s which were reasonable. I will be taking back apart to fit a driver in when ive finished painting his overalls😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L33 DA17ON Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Wow that's a lot better looking loadall now. Bit of paint makes a world of difference. Did you spray the cab and main body or just the wheels and lifting arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil phoenix Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I just sprayed the lift arm, wheels and engine cover hood. No need to paint the rest as it was already done. Britains JCB sprayed parts are virtually the same shade of yellow as official JCB spray paint.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
