The bed of the trailer looks about right. But the tractor not so much. I'd scrap it and look for another. Jus' sayin'. *NM*

On the bench and need opinions. PICs Too much, not enough or start over with the weathering?
I like it!!! The trailer deck is great.......I might make the trailer metal sides a little more subtle. *NM*
Agreed! *NM*
To me, weathering, a little bit goes a long way. UNLESS, that "rig" is gonna be abandoned. Just my opinion, nothin' personal. By the way: My FIRST comment on a Message Board member's model, after all these years. Hope you're not offended. *NM*
Not offended at all. I want positive and negative comments. If all we positive I would think everyone is just bsing me. *NM*
I like it Terry. *NM*
Thank you, sir! *NM*
Terry, I think you've done enough--anymore may be too much. The weathered planks on the bed are outstanding! *NM*
Thank you. I am very pleased with the bed. *NM*
I really like the barrel stains on the trailer looks so real. *NM*
Thanks, easy and effective. *NM*

I wouldn't scrap it. Since you're painting with flats, there's a lot you can do with that truck cab.
*PICS* above. *NM*
At first I read it as "scrape" it. Not going to do that but maybe scrap it. Ok that's not as drastic and tossing it. *NM*
Id does depend on the ultimate goal for the model. If it is still to be an operating piece I go with what I said. If it is to be consigned to the scrap yard, then yes, leave it the way it is. *NM*
I'm on the fence about how bad it should be. I guess that is a decision I should have made at the begining. *NM*
Well, this is a kit that I got cheap and it was missing a lot of pieces so I'm not going to do a lot more to it but I do agree the body is a little to much so I might remove some of the rust. *NM*
Freeze. Perfect. Next! *NM*
Really good job. The barrel rings on the planks are outstanding for realism. Only critique I have is the green door hinges, and inner wheel hubs. I would rust them as well. Great job so far. *NM*
I'm waiting until I have the doors mounted and the hinges are aligned ok and then I will weather them. I don't want them to get stuck open or closed. *NM*
Overall think it’s fantastic, my only critique (and it may be the photo), the cab clearance lights look too nice/clean as compared to the rest of the cab *NM*
I'll do a final check on the chrome and make sure it looks right. *NM*
how about bolt heads on the bed wood?? *NM*
Cool idea, thanks! *NM*
