Here are the pictures of the (almost) completed build. I cant find the decals so will add them if or when I find them...
The Italeri kit was pretty good. and built well. The conversion set from Kit form Services was very well cast, I found one tiny bubble and they had filled that! My only gripe? the wheels. They where just a tiny bit small for the tyres they are made to fit and without glue, the tyres just kept popping off or into the rim...
Also the the rear "hubs" the half-shaft houses are not drilled. A better solution might have been to have them drilled, make them a mm short and provide the cover as a separate part... In all the fit was good. If or when I do another I will have a better idea as to how to get the fit 100% I am sure that the small issues I had are down to the ladder frame on the kit.
The paint is as mentioned Tamiya. Transparent red over Metallic bronze. Made a nice candy apple red!
'Nuff waffle. Here's the interesting bit:

Ian M's Scania R620 4x2 conversion to a T620 6x4 Italeri and Kit Form Services. 1/24
The doner/victim And naturally the sprue photos. Not being a big civil car/truck builder I have never seen plastic with 'metal flake effect'! Wonder how much of this lot will get used? A more civilised Grey for the inside of the cab.... for now. Ladder frame and axel bits and some...
