DAF Tractor
Posted by Tiking on Wednesday, May 11, 2011 2:26 AM

This is my first 1 / 24 scale truck ever. This is a DAF 380ati Space cab, an old kit. The kit went together quite well except for some minor issues with battery box, which did not fit well. I also had problems with the painting that caused a rough surface on the passenger side. But besides that, it was a fun kit to build. Hope you all like it. I'm still adding little details every now and then.

Thanks everyone. The dusty effect is a combination of real dirt, pigments and an over spray of dark earth brown paint from Revell.

Nice work all around!  We never see these in the US so it's great to see them here for a change of pace.  Keep up the good work!

Thanks Pat. Some of these trucks are in civilian services in Iraq and if I am not mistaken, in Afghanistan as well.
