The truck is finished!!!
When building the headlights, I used some adhesive "rain drops" obtained from a craft store that are used for scrapbooking. They do have some tint to them but it gives the lights some character, I think. Also I can still see the printed headlight pattern through them. Some parting thoughts: I wanted to try an Angraf kit for awhile now and thought this one would be a good one to start with. All in all in fit pretty decent with only a few hiccups. The one thing I found a little frustrating was that some of the parts didn't have enough to build all the multiple assemblies. I had to do some photocopying of some tire and bed parts so I would have enough parts to build it as instructed. Not a big deal if you catch it in time, big problem if you don't. Overall I really enjoyed this build and would recommend it to those with some experience. I think a newbie would get frustrated with it. In regards to research, I find myself doing more and more of it, but I'm not always inclined to learn everything about a subject. I hit a few walls when researching the markings on this one and made some educated guesses. If I'm not right that's OK, I just wanted to get some idea as to what this truck might have been used for.

That's a great looking model! I'm glad you built an Angraf, I have a few of them and was getting nervous about ever building when the only build threads I've seen have been on the Famo and it's famous fit problems. Good to see this one came out so well!
