As mentioned in chat Carl, this looks like it will build into a nice model for you. Good detail on the engine. Nice

It's a nice model, but I thnk for non-pig pile build, it's best posted elsewhere, i.e. Rivet Review or Armor

Dave,this isn't a pig pile build.It is something special I am building for my Stymates alone to look at and comment on.I think other piggies can build their trucks as a DSB only build and exhibit them here.
Hey Cliff,have you noticed there IS NOT a "Trucks / wheeled vehicle thread? (++) (++)

Carl the engines of all the Dodge WC series were a light grey semi gloss. Lighter rather then darker if you know what I mean.

Generater was semi gloss blck but the oil filter (above the starter motor) was grey as well with a black strap.

Starting to look good Carl. Maybe I will restart mine one day.

Thanks,Cliff.I had painted my weapons carrier that way.
There will be lots of areas to paint before I throw the fenders and such on,since they will be making it harder to reach later. :-) (++) (++)

Finished,I think the decals were the only part that were not up to snuff.I used a dry transfer on the top of the hood.
