So far so good, everything is fitting together nicely.

The cab is one piece and the fuel tank has gone together without and difficulty just some sanding required. The undercarridge also went together easily and is made up of eight pieces.

Three main compents together giving basic shape of the vehicle. The large flat piece of plastic in front on the truck is the main deck of a hand cart that comes with the kit.

Thank you everyone

I hope everyone is feeling better than me, I have been dealing with a cold over the past week and haven't gotten to much done. :(

Progress so far and depending on how I feel tomorrow I should have the rest of the plumbing on tomorrow. Does anyone have ideas for 1-72 fuel hose. The shiney thing in front is a nickle, just to show how little the truck is.

A neat photo of a Japanese airfield I found on Missing-Lynx.com

Hi Nerdling thanks for looking, I don't have a diorama planned yet as I don't have very much space for diorama's at the house.

So far so good, now just to start blending in the colours and weathering. I am hoping to have the wheels and truck conopy done
by the weekend.

Hi

Thanks for following the threat, I hope my flu and exhaustion have passed and I'm back on the forum on a regular basis.

I think I'm almost done, just alittle bit more weathering.
