1/24 scale Italeri kit #3824 + some improvements

A quite different subject this time !

I've done some 1:24 trucks when I was younger, and I wanted to bring back some memories !(I'm not that old, but you know !)

But this time it will be not so shiny, I want to depict a truck who had a tough life, but still standing !

Build was easy and fast (done in a week last winter), paint phase will be interesting ! I replaced the rubber tires by 3D printed ones (purchased file from cults3d) and add another fuel tank after the first photoshoot.

I tried 3rd gen acrylic from Ak Interactive (not sponsored) to paint everything ! Not the best in an airbrush but I was impressed by the coverage and their matte finish - with a brush !
