Progress on 1992 1/24 scale Toyota pickup

Here's some updates to my contest entry for the Spring contest at Scale Model Addict.

Tried something new with the exhaust by painting it burnt. Started with black then vallejo model air steel and over that I used tamiya clear blue/yellow/orange for the burn marks. I then used Tamiya smoke color to blend all the tones together. 


Here are the wheels. they were chrome plated out of the box. I stripped the chrome and used Alclad 2 polished aluminum over the Alclad black gloss primer. 





Here's an interior shot...


Mounting the fender flares. 


Dashboard detail...


inner door panels. 


Working on the body now. need to do some putty work on the flares(gaps between flares and wheel wells)...I hope to be done by the deadline.
