I have completed the M1088A1 tractor truck.
I ended up painting it in NATO camo. I gave it a couple washes with a dirt color and a sand color acrylic paint. Then I selectively dry-brushed it to bring out some details. I added some bare metal and light rust around the 5th wheel and its ramps. Lastly, I added some dripped/overflow fuel streaks on the fuel tank from Tamiya Smoke.
I marked its as one from the 13th Theater Support Command, 610 Quartermaster Bn, 418 Transportation Company. It is not based on any specific truck, but one I saw pulling a tank trailer on the net. All the warning and placard decals are from the kit, as are the stencils. I made the markings myself and the 52 Bn ID # is left over from some other kit.
I added the air lines and brake lights cable from 1/24 scale car spark plug wires in the red, blue, and black colors.
Here is my take on the truck. I hope you like it.
Here it is with the M1062 Bulk Fuel trailer.
This was a fun and rewarding build. I am very pleased with how it turned out. The Pro Art cab set and Legend A1 update set really add to the details.
