CANicoll Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 It's a truck!! Looking good. Is the canvas top molded like that or did you make it? Nice looking either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, cover is part of the kit. I just cleaned it up a bit and dusted it with some OD paint. There were four ejector pin marks inside that would have been visible on finished model, so I fixed those as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 While skimming along on the web the other day, I stumbled on this beauty. I'm not real sure who makes it, but I'll certainly be grabbing a set for my next GMC, as it's quite a nice enhancement.

LSP_K2 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Instructions would have me add part #D12 (front support for MG mount), despite the fact that I will not be installing the MG ring mount above. It seems that not all GMC trucks were so fitted, though frequently were. I'm not sure whether to add it or not. CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 You seriously need to grab that Kevin. I sure as hell would. It does look great. The two GMC trucks (Hobby Boss) that I'm considering, are both steel cab versions, so the cab cover would be of no use, but the bed cover would certainly eliminate the need for lots of cargo, as none would be visible if I used that. mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 and its VERY well sculpted Indeed it is. If I can figure out who makes it, and grab one soon, I can use the cab cover on this model, and the cargo cover on the steel cab truck; a win, win for me. (Even though the image comes from HLJ, I can find nothing on their site that matches it, but I'll keep looking.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Yet another add-on that Tamiya makes, is this set. I think I have one of these around here too somewhere, but if I do, it'll probably need to wait for another truck to mount it on. (Image snatched from the WWW.)

LSP_K2 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 OK, good news, bad news. The good news is that (using the image name) I was able to determine that the cover set is a Royal Model product. The bad news is, it's over $30! Looks like I'll b doing without this particular enhancement, at least for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks, Mark. In your opinion, is the manual worth owning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 If you want to do nuts and bolts scratch building, as I do, then yes. Otherwise, I would buy after market. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Mark Awesome. I'll grab it then, as details are very interesting to me. By and large, the Tamiya kit is quite acceptable, but certainly simplified in some ways and some stuff left out altogether. Still, it has great potential, I think.
