Bell 50 ton Dumper - ADT

[Espeefan]

This kit is looking awesome. I believe the words that describes the process of molding the cab parts would be 'vacuum formed'. I can understand why it would take 10 hours to get things looking clean and for the parts to fit well. Still, totally worth the effort, as this is going to be one sharp and tough model, when it's finished. Thanks for sharing the photos! Keep them coming. I vote for white paint, but it's your model, and it looks good in yellow too.

That's the term I was looking for... its the same procedure as they use for lexan type shells, but the plastic on this is about 2mm thick in places, so very strong. You're quite right, I took my time as I wanted it to fit perfect when finished.. I am also leaning towards white as well it looks nice!
