What Paul said, you're surprising us with this new project.
I already know this will be a stunner.

Very nice to see something so different 👍 Have been thinking about this truck with that missile system mounted... Yes I've seen that it does look rather smart! I'm making good progress with this and have started on the cab and also the fuel tanks. The tanks will get a quick blast of primer soon just to check I've sanded the joins properly. I've also gone and ordered some DEF resin wheels which should be here soon.     |

This mega beast is almost finished, you must have been building 24/7!😎
Pe involved also, looking like it's not the easiest build, but it looks awesome.

Nice progress Pete. Those resin wheels actually make it look heavy!

Cheers guys, Robbo, yes they do make a massive difference when you look at the kit ones which are rubber and not as detailed. More on the fuel tanks and the rear pump assembly which is a kit in itself being made up of about 85 parts! Some bits still to add to it but that will happen after painting. I'm going to leave the tanks, pump and pipework off the truck bed as I've found that most of these trucks have a bare wood bed so that will need painting before adding the parts if I go that way. If not I'll fix the tanks in place and add the tie down chains and assorted tensioners before paint.     |
