Went with a brown interior,the front bench seat is hinged to fold forward which is an unusual feature in a pick up.I know that the full sized trucks had that feature,I guess to store things or to have access to the fuel tank should a leak or sending unit issue arrise.
Like the blue steering wheel !

Revell Audi R8. Made this kit yeas ago when I got back into modeling. I wasn't really happy with it but it came out OK. I was trying to go for that 'matte' finish that was all the rage several years ago.
The fit wasn't the greatest as I recall. I even chopped the suspenion; out of the box was way to tall.
Fun build of an awesome car.

Was looking around for something to do on my tanks so decided to resurrect this Panther I bought a couple of years ago from another club member. He had done an absolutely masterful and accurate paint job of this particular tank but had used a frosted glass effect on it that over time had made it become very opaque hiding how good the paint job was. I took everything off the tank and repainted all the tools, tracks, wheels etc and added a few photo etch details and then some coats of semi gloss to bring the paint out along with more weathering and finished with a flat coat. It's a very good running tank and looking forward to battling it this year

Looks great!I decided to use some walnut veneer for the planks in the truck bed.I cut the veneer into strips and will finish it with gloss Polycyclic.

That's awesome. I've always wanted these large RC tanks. Looks like they are so much fun. I'd like a Tiger tank...

I'm curious about how you got that metallic look on the exhaust system. Whenever I've tried to get that look I buy what they call a 'silver' colored paint but it always turns out looking more gray than anything else.

Ok I used the Rust-Oleum Metallic silver that I used on the body!

If you have an air brush what I use is Alclad II paints. With a little practice you can get from chrome to dull metallic finishes. Comes down to use what you like and use well. If you get to be a serious modeler you'll use anything that gives you the finish you want.
