Re: Italeri Chevrolet 15CWT - The load in back.
Thanks for the comments everyone! Much appreciated.
Special thanks to you Cheyenne for the tea-tinting-tip. (I actually used a couple of dips in black coffee).hmy:
It worked out great I think. I won’t even use glue on it. I think it looks more natural loose.
Added the hoops on the bed, and the load slips in and out as planned. As my Dad says: “ The harder you work, the luckier you get”.
Thanks for looking.
On to paint,

Re: Italeri Chevrolet 15CWT: Base paint and decals
Thanks //Mats and StuG!
Preshaded with grey (wider) and black (tighter) as I try to emulate the technique of a much more talented modeler who displays his art in this forum.
Painted with Tamiya XF-55 Deck Tan as base and then highlighted with base color + white.
Painted a few bits, and added the decals included with the kit in Australian livery. (The “Roo” decal was from Italeri's : Carro Armato tank kit for a captured version.)
Next step: Apply Future to protect the paint and decals, and then apply an oil wash and pinwash with oils.
Thanks for looking.
Bill
Add/Edit: I find that it is a very fine line when I apply the base coat over a pre-shade. How much to leave? How much to cover? The pictures never tell the whole story. You know. keep at it!

Re: Italeri Chevrolet 15CWT: Base paint and decals
Thanks Terry.
A little progress.
Some oil pin wash and dry brush with Humbrol enamels.
I have been perplexed in the past on how to paint out the windshield wipers when they are molded into the clear plastic. I have failed when trying to freehand brush paint them, and it’s clear (pun) that any mistakes are hard to fix without messing up the clear part. I gave this a try. Burnish down some thin Tamiya tape and carefully cut he tape away and then dry-brush (so you don’t flood the cut joint and risk paint creep under the tape). I think it worked out pretty good. The close up pictures make it look much worse than it appears to the naked eye (thankfully). The junk on the glass is on the inside (it creeped in somehow).

Re: Italeri Chevrolet 15CWT: Base paint and decals
Bill, that is AWESOME!!
I never had the courage to go down the oil wash road with my 15cwt, but I'm thinking it will be worth it - You've brought it to life.
Now, I wonder what colour oil to use :hmmm Paynes grey? (mixed with some ochre?)
The wiper's look good too Bill

Re: Italeri Chevrolet 15CWT: A little progress
Man that looks nice. Really well done. Dont know what to say about the windows as they seem to be the hardest things to do. The WW came out nice.. Will have to try that. I dont know if it would be too difficult to maybe put thinned black on the wiper / window join to simulate the rubber or if that would cause more problems. Beautiful work all around though Bill

Re: Italeri Chevrolet 15CWT: Base paint and decals
Looking good Bill, wonder if some custom decals of dirty windshields would be in order?

Nice work!
A tip for dirty glasses.
With a brush or airbrush, apply Vallejo Matt Varnish. Let it dry for some minutes and then retire the mask or remove as desired with a toothpick!
Just be careful and do not scratch the grass with the toothpick
