Thanks! Second one of trio, circus wagon, a little closer to finishing, last major items to make are mirrors. This model's 1:1 counterpart had mirrors bolted to door rather than cab, using an old snap Aerodyne cab as assembly jig styrene brackets were tack glued in place and mirror built up from styrene rod, nut/bolt/washer castings and mirror heads taken from snap kit. Complete assembly will be removed for Alclad.  |

Two out of three are complete now! Final assembly and weathering (I know, it was sacriligeous to put road grime on that nice orange frame but these were working trucks that ran hard!) done today, a break in this afternoon's rain allowed some outdoor photos:  Right front 3/4 view  Right side profile showing extra fuel tank  Rear 3/4, mix of pencil graphite dust and airbrushed very thin flat black used for road grime on running gear & back of sleeper  Left side profile. I like the proportions of this tractor, nice balance of wheelbase & sleeper length.  Left front 3/4 view  Coming at ya! |

Thanks guys! Yes, those older W900's were sure a classic truck. And Monfort's looked good without needing a lot of "bling" too - there isn't even a sunvisor fitted!
