Whiskymack Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Finally got a couple of pics of my U model project but it's far from finished. Your full size progress pics have provided me with great reference especially for all those tricky hidden bits!

What kits are you building it out of?I think you're right. Never seen a U model here but have seen a DM600 at a show. They'd have to offset the cab to the other side!The model has an AMT Junkyard dog R model frame and an ERTL DM600 hood. I had no cab so ended up scratchbuilding one.

I think Vinny would win! I didn't have a DM cab, only the hood because it's mostly from the spares box.
