Build history

The decals are on and a lot of little details painted. The black chassis and cab roof are dulled with a spray of dust.

A pre-shade and the first layer of paint makes it come to life.

Beefing up the cargo bay with a rope to hold the canvas closed and tent windows. Ready for the airbrush

Wheels on, chech for details to add: The GAZ plate, the rods connecting the chassis and sub chassis, ans the masking stuff on the windos.

The chassis is easy, and the cab can go on, but it needs some persuation.

Next step is to close the cab. A simple drybrush action wil do.

First issue is the cargo bay. The seam between the canvas and the boards is a sore in the eye. The cab ia very rough.

It's a crude kit with a lot of filing and sanding to get all residu of the moulding of, and it fits miserably.

Straight from the box, that was the idea. The Breda chapter of the Twenot had a digital contest: a truck. Can't mis out on that. First unbuild kit from the stash. A GAZ AAA
