    I'm converting this kit into a Leach R2 Packmaster garbage truck.

    Ty. These 2 vids are exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to find the flaws of the kit build before i started. Now I have a heads-up. Thanks. Shame too, i was looking forward to using the round fuel tank and long air tank.

    Put a weld bead down the center of the diamond plate .. a piece of stretched sprue or small styrene rod melted with Tamiya glue and press with a moulder of some sort .. just a suggestion, I've seen repaired diamond plate like that before

      interesting idea, if I don't use it on this one I'll probably use it on something else, thanks!

    Wonderful progress on the Rig! I like the garbage truck. Nice trick mixing the putty and primer.

    Nice progress , Paul. Looking good.

  • @michaelhintzmikesminiature1812

    Looks like an okay kit. One of those kits that fights you along the way. Bummer on the tread plate. Interesting mixing the putty and primer. I'll be watching

    My kit had the same problem with the tires. Sadly the company that makes them don't help you to replace them with better ones.

    • @BlueGillage

      Ikr. What a racquet that is. They knowingly sell you crap kit wheels n tires then turn around and sell seperate aftermarket ones. Sighhh. Typical.

      These AMT truck kits can be challenging. Revell has got some truck kits that are almost snap-together easy.
