Default Deuce and a Half

Ok gents, it has officially begun. I received my Tamiya King Hauler yesterday, but due to time restrictions and the fact UPS didn't deliver it until 6:30 p.m. I didn't have time to start on it. So the first few pics are of the truck and following pics will be of some of the supplies that I picked up yesterday. This will then be updated as the build moves along. The only real problem I for-see is I wont be working from any plans, just eyeballing it, as I researched and could not find any three view drawings with some sort of scale on them (e.g. 1/35) to enlarge, I do have plenty of pics and drawings to work from though. I was going to scratch build the cab, but I think that I can use the Tamiya one and alter that, the bed I will just compare pictures of the real CCKW and work from there. This build will be detailed as much as I see fit, I am going to strive for scale-ishness< that's my own word btw. And I will try for accuracy, but not go over board. The decals I will use will most likely be ordered from ETO that are intended for a half track but will work for this build. This will also have the cloth top. alright I will add pics later as I keep getting a server error from RCU

Cheers,
Wade
