Mrs. Woody could no doubt find all sorts of jobs for me to do in 4 hours but not today. It was out with the airbrush today in her absence as I gave the Italeri Scania 143H chassis a painting as well the engine and a few other parts. The chassis looks better although with the base plastic being black it doesn't look to different. However the engine is now green so we have some differentiation in the kaleidoscope of colours! I also managed to do a bit to the cab interior of the Heller 141 LB with the seats now offering something comfy looking to sit on even if those 1980s fabrics may offend fashion conscious truck drivers!
I did also make a start on the wheels. The wheels themselves will be painted aluminum whilst the rear hubs will be red. The Italeri wheels are in two parts but leaving the outer part of the rim off at this stage makes the awkward job of painting the hubs a little easier so here they are primed in white which is a good undercoat for red.
It may not look much but including giving the chassis of the Heller Scania another coat of paint this still took the 4 hours to do but it was enjoyable which is what all this is about not that Mrs. W's jobs wouldn't be fun but those will be for another day!
