Anyone ever have problems with parts missing from the sprues with this kit? I just noticed part 127 wasn't even on the sprue. It's part of the mirror assembly.

Wasn't happy with the engine colour, so I stripped it and went Cat yellow.

Looking good. The engine definatly looks better Cat Yellow. I've had a problem with missing parts and both Revell and Italeri came through with replacements both times. Look on their web site or box top or instruction sheet for contact info. Paul

CAT yellow on the engine is far better than the previous metallic look. The alternator should have remained metallic though. The aftercooler is usually the same colour as the rest of the engine. I have mine metallic also because the instructions said so. But I would not be that obedient today. You have done a good job so far.

Did some work on the Cat while waiting on paint to dry on the Autocar. Alternator will eventually be painted metallic like it's supposed to be. The aftercooler was repainted Cat yellow as well, but it's not pictured.

That 3408 looks fantastic! What colors did you use for the exhaust & turbos?

Revell enamel copper 93 for the turbo. Revell enamel silver 90 for the exhaust. Both have a bit of a wash. A bit of silver on the turbo, and brown/orange rust wash on the exhaust.
And now that I look at it, I can see a spot I missed.
