Album info

This kit was the 1991 re-box of the 1966 vintage tooling.
Built out the box with some scratch built extras to liven the engine up, I also added a bit of old jewellery chain to the rescue ladder and replaced the original driver's left hand.
This was my first attempt at gloss paint and gloss clearcoat with an airbrush, for which I used Tamiya acrylics. Minor bits of weathering and oil/grease stains added with Citadel Miniatures 'Nuln Oil' and 'Agrax'. Fine dusting/grime on the tyres using Tamiya Weathering Powder (grey).
The crew were hand painted with Tamiya acrylics for uniform and equipment, with flesh tones using a mix of Citadel Miniatures.
