Thanks so much for the kind replies. Darren, unfortunately I didn't photograph any of the build, I just got stuck into it and got carried away; guess that's a sign that it was a fun project
This is another familiar looking model to me. Has this been featured in a mag? Just done a quick Google search and I notice it's featured on quite a few other sites too. Still a great model though...
I can only add what's already been said, I really like the paint chipping and wear, how did you do that, it's something I yet have to try.. Salt or latex or something else?? And as a keen photographer, well done. The contrast between the bright new missile and the well abused truck, yes "I'll give it 5" too.
