@holzhamer, @gblair, @fiveten, @chinesegeorge, @johnb, @bikequeen and other visitors here, it has been almost a year since we last visited my improvised fueltruck, and today I have a small update for you.
More dryfiting!
Some priming, and then a cradle has been made
With my new primer, it was time to get some on the Blitz!
The grille looks rather battered – just like the real ones were after use in harsh conditions.
I made a few lengths of plastic from a 2mm plate
testfitted the lot. By the way, I got a book from fellow imodeler with a picture of this exact truck seen from the rear with the rear open! Lots of detail revealed - thanks for the great book

I assembled the major parts, and then added some blocks to keep the drums from rolling
-
1. Chains will be cut into four.
Good to see some progress!
Regarding the questions and suggestions, burnishing is a chemical reaction, so primer vill do no good on the chains. Perhaps they need to be primed and painted instead, but I think maybe after cutting them to length we shall see.
I am still leaning towards on the burnishing, but time will tell I suppose – check in and see what happens.
