Bussing 8000 truck

Nice and well detailed kit. Little tricky in places.

I added a sleeping bag, rolled up blanket, pillow, some pin ups, two layers of 2" foam rubber and a 'mens' magazine to the sleeper:



and in the cab I added on the seats: a thermos flask, a map, a pencil, and the drivers passport.



On the dash shelf I added: a pizza box, a thermos flask cup with coffee and a car mag.



Finally in the cab, I added a newspaper on the steering wheel:



Under the bonnet, I added all of the plumbing and wiring:









Finally, when it was finished, I gave it some light 'road grime'.









Instead of using the bed cover, I added some cargo instead and covered it with a tarpaulin made from nasal tissue and white glue.

That looks great Al. I have the same model in my stash, you've inspired me to have a crack at it.

Thanks Peter......... I had real fun building mine.

Great detailing Al, a superb model.

I forgot to add this last photo. JohnJ sent me a driver figure to complete the look. It was meant to be at the wheel but I gave him a newspaper and sat him on the step instead!!

Brilliant touch.

I'm impressed by the tiny details and the pipework in the engine. I have to ask, what scale is this?

Thanks Dave, coming from you, that's quite a compliment.

The scale is 1:25 and measures approx 350mm long.
