This was a fun build! Mostly box stock, except for a drop on the front, some extra detail on the engine and the omission of a couple of parts to make it look a little less fussy! Paint is Createx red, silver and pearl blue, I wired the engine and added some photoetched detail and made that blower belt with Washi tape.
Thanks for looking!

Looks great, paint looks good. What did you use to wrap the exhaust? It is a neat touch. Paul

I just sliced it into strips and wrapped it on there! Simple! I want to try painting or tinting it next - though they do the 1:1 stuff in white (which I wanted for this project) it's more common to see it in a kinda dirty gold color:
Thanks for the nice comments everyone! |

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! The pattern matches the cheap 1/4 wide nylon ribbon I got at Walmart to use for blower belts. |

Sweet build I love the Lil kits. Thanks John! Me too! I want to do the whole series...
I've got a Li'l Mixer to do next, a Li'l Yeller on it's way and then after that I'll be getting into the rarer ones...

Superb James! I was interested to see what was in the tank! I was hoping beer/cider or even milk but looking at the back I see that it's another sort of fuel! Header wrap a great idea, amazing what we can use to add interest to our builds!
