The flatbed was the next on the list and I decided to heavily weather the wood.
From here I only applied oils and left to dry, no translucent orange or varnish just the flat oils. Once it has fully cured I will give it a mat finish.
Next up were the wheels - After spraying the rubber tires Nato black and then dry-brushing with a lighter grey I masked them off with Tamiya flexible masking tape. This stuff is great and you can move it around so finely that I was able to leave the rim free.
With the tape removed I applied several washes to get the effect I needed and then left to dry. There was very little seepage from the washes and those were easily delt with with a cotton bud.
Staying with the cab It was time to shape the front wheel fenders - to get the curve I used and empty Tamiya paint pot.
The underside of the Lorry received a very liberal coating of AK Interactive Engine oil.
Small parts such as the side lamps and the horn where assembled and painted before being attached to the cab.
