Difference in sizes.

As Frank DeSisto correctly points out in one of the linked posts from the above link:
"1-tonners had two different road-wheel types, while most of the others had several chassis variations with shorter track runs, less (and different) road-wheels, etc. If you go solely by this chart, or the provided list in the above post (a nice effort, BTW!) you will be frustrated when you come across the above-mentioned variations."

Did some work on this one today, brushed some thin cement on the seats to get a little sructure on them.

Chassi and roadwheels primed and painted dark yellow, wanna have this done before the show sunday so i can work more on it there (chipping etc.)

I'm happy with the look of the dark yellow mix, and i don't know if it's because the retarder i tried that it's going better with airbrushing it to :idonno
I add a half milliliter or so to 10ml paint and it's going fine

Tracks in progress, easy cleanup of the link parts, and easy assembly

Chipping (you see here that the engine is missing, normaly you don't see it)

Bodywork falling into place

Still have to do something about that "wire" looks like a toilet brush!

Things are happening, i'm just lazy with posting up the progress

Working on the PE pieces now and the last small details before paint, gonna try and mask off the chassi/tracks with aluminiumfoil :hmmm :idonno

Reworked the spare tyre a little, not perfect but it will do...

That chipping on the inside of the wheel is just great Mats, very convincing.
