Good eye!!

 

 

I'll claim that's a box of dog toys but .....

Couple coats of primer on.

I BOUGHT the green & red International truck that's on top of the black trailer. 

 

Didn't build it.  

 

This will be similar to the one I do build for the tanker and help me visualize the process.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also been watching fleeebay for inexpensive trailers and parts piles. 

 

This livestock trailer needs only a small amount of work to be finished up and painted.  The tanker will need more....

In the box by the tanker you can see a bag of red and orange. A bunch of tiny light lenses.

Sprayed the silver paint over the kast several days. 

Looks very good.  

 

There are a few areas that are a small nicks or dents.  

I'm leaving them alone on purpose because this model will be weathered. 

I'll call out the imperfections later in the build.  

I can also still see the original casting mold lines through the primer and paint. 

I left them alone asnwell because they actually look like the full scale version of tank divider or reinforcement lines.
