Re: 140H Grader
Sneaky-pete, thanks for the complments
Jammer, I appreciate the helpful information on parts to make this model possible. Hammer, I should be putting the step ladder on today and she will be finished......WHEW!!!! Cbazq271, To prep it, i used a balsa filler called Hobby-Lite. The filler is easy to use and contours very well. That sealed all the cracks and holes. I used a wood sealer/primer for base coat, then the Cat yellow........oh i almost forgot, 1st thing was to sand, sand,sand, sand up to and including the primer.

Re: 140H Grader
Rob, Your grader build is awesome and knowing how it was built is amazing. Great work from a very skilled builder. We need one more picture though, you standing proudly beside it so we can see how big the model actually is.

Re: 140H Grader
Another outstanding build from an outstanding builder Unless someone knows, you would never guess there is wood under some of that paint.
