Chassis examination.

Things are moving on with the Italeri Scania with Cool Fruits trailer which is good although if I finish this too quick Mrs. Woody may think I have not been concentrating on her jobs list! 

I have painted in the rear lights and the brake wheel on the trailer which has brought some life to the rear. Still got the latches to do.

I have now examined the chassis of the tractor unit and it looks reasonable. It is painted in matt black which I might not do nowadays but I am leaving it in that paint as a tribute in this time machine build to how I built models 23 years ago.

To move things forward the I found the fuel tank in the box of bits and that requires painting aluminum so that along with the chassis walkway and cab steps were sprayed aluminum. I think I may have to respray the cab though but that is for another time - I need to finish the chassis first.
