Hello All!
It's been a while since my last post here.

Before I continue with this update I'd like to thank you for the kind words and positive comments.

Over the past few weeks I've managed to build the left and right break assembles as well as finish up a few other details including the tie bar and steering linkage. The model still remains to be quite a challenge. The diagram for the breaks is all wrong. It would be impossible to build them according to the drawings. I continue to rely on other build threads and reference photos of the actual truck as a guide. Also, there are many unnecessary parts that don't go anywhere. Despite the poor design I continue to move forward.

Work continues on the drive train...having built the chain tensioning arms the drive sprockets and chain are next.

After adding these details to the frame, everything was sprayed with a few light coats of Vallejo Model Color Flat Red.

I'll try to be more frequent with future updates even if they are small. Check back often.
