mowerman Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Yes, I don’t know. I have to tell you that I left a couple of parts off and all that chrome shit is hard to deal with you know how it is scraping all that shit off so the glue will stick on these tiny parts didn’t put on the oil cooler or the power steering pump might as well just tell you that right off the bat 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75059-starting-dm800-plastic-model/page/3/#findComment-571314 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Ha ha excellent thanks for that. That sounds like just about half of my shit. I know it’s around here someplace I can’t find it. We moved in here 20 years ago and I put a bunch of stuff in my workshop. I have been trying to find my grease gun a couple of times out there I have no idea where I put it Only thing I could think of it’s gonna be buried in one of the boxes are crates at the bottom and yes that looks exactly like mine and Dave‘s the Three Stooges ha ha, or the three musketeers whatever you choose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75059-starting-dm800-plastic-model/page/3/#findComment-571556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
