Haha noooooo! I've wanted one for a long time, that's the problem. Every time I go into see Jeff at the hobby shop I glance at them but I have irons in too many fires already. Maybe when we get together we can do some crawling too. I have a lot of good space for that outside.

Me and jason keep talking about it. Latest thought is a tracktor with a dump trailer... maybe.

Heres the short version for the back center caps.

Start first with some food and a drink.



Same as the front, the snout has to go.





A bunch of back half done caps.



Some detail work.



Good thing for spares as i went a little deep on the first one.





All done my project. time to get this truck home.

This really came out nice! It really reminds me of the AMT 1/25 model kit. Keep up the great work.
