Default Another King

Just finished my build recently and finally installed the MFU which is awesome! Next is deciding on what to pull? I was thinking on waiting for Tamiya's newest container but still unsure. Maybe I'll just get the van to keep with the old style look. I wanted to weather the truck but I just don't have the time or patience these days.
Maybe the next one. I'll post better pics when I get everything together.

It's been a while since I posted here so I figured I show some of the upgrades I added to the truck just recently. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm debating on whether to paint the air filter's black with chrome or just leave them all chrome. Too many decisions.

I started painting a set last night. Luckily I have a couple sets in my parts box. I didn't even think to just paint the bands... maybe the next set. Going to leave the caps chrome though.

Just my .02 I'd leave the tanks chrome, paint the straps black, and black wash the steps. that would look pretty cool! Your truck is Sweet Either way

The hardest part about this hobby is there are so many options to choose from.

Which thankfully for us offers us a massive amount of custom combinations to personalize our trucks. I say it everytime, if you flip threw pics of meets 2-3 years ago the trucks look great but so much less realistic. In that short time with everyone's constant creativity generating new parts the trucks get more and more realistic with every meet.
