Lrdg Chevrolet 30 cwt truck Cyrenaica 1941

This is something that I wanted to build for a while. So the I spy SIG has given me an excuse.

The build begins. I have decided to portray a New Zealand crewed truck.

I have bought the eduard photo etch for this kit. So this is a couple of firsts, first time I have entered a SIG and the first time I have used photo etch on a kit. And boy are some of the parts small. But it is fun to do and it does add something to the kit.

The main parts of the model put together to see how they fit.

The build is progressing slowly. Never knew photo etch could be so small.





Lets hope it is finished by the deadline. Still so much to do.

Looking good mate. I like the addition of the PE, really adds those small details which are often missing, but can really "make" a model.

Great stuff! I agree the photo etch will add in all the extra details.

Keep it up

Thanks for your comments. Yes like you I think the photo etch will make a big difference to the model.

It's finished. Only just on the last day.

Nice work
Suits the last dio picture very well

Thanks for your comments. Yes the model suits the scene very well. Not bad for a tray full of sand and some garden plants in the back ground.
