Thanks Doog, from this not being my main project have not had a lot of time to work on it.  But I airbrushed on Tamiya Dark Yellow, and some dark yellow shades in Model Master.  Mixed up some light gray and weathered the tires,  airbrushed on two coats of future than applied the decals.  The two in the back would not sink into the wood texture using Model Masters solvent, so I picked up Micro Scales version.  That seem to do the trick.  After they dried, airbrushed on another coat of future.  Last evening I airbrushed on in a mist pattern, Tamiya Buff for a dusty look.  I masked the area where the windshield wipers would move back and forth, and circles on both the driver and passenger windows.

Cool. This looks like an old coal delivery truck from the days past! Hope you make a righteous finish!

I first got started on this project in February 2014,  it went together pretty good.  Then I got to the cab section, the position of the back rest and seat didn't not allow me to assembly the rest of the cab.  So I left it on the self for awhile, then after I was getting close to finishing my M4 DV Sherman for the D-Day group build decided to start work again on my Opel Blitz.  I finally figured out that the back rest was in the wrong position, so It prevented the cab from going together.  So I removed it and positioned it higher and everything went together great.  The rest of the kit goes together very well.

When I got to the primer stage I decided to make a handle, that would make it easier to hold the model while airbrushing.  With just some popsicle sticks and styrene, I was able to make a pretty good handle.

The holes were drilled out using Testors Pin Vice, and everything is held together with hot glue.  The truck is primed and painted, but have not photographed it yet.  I'll post picture later.
