Got my lids painted and put in place today also got my frame all but done still have to put my frame supports on next weekend. I do believe this part should be all but complete next weekend. It's actually a pretty easy kit just big. As you can see in my 2nd picture I have the frame in place just more warped plastic taped and rubber banded in place until the glue dries.   |

I had the same tanker kit The tank halves were warped & the frame rails got heated with a heat gun so the frame would be straight
The Pete kit was great but had the same frame problem as all the Round2 trucks have had RH rail cast a little crooked
Looking good! Keep up the good work

Thanks guys should have some more updates this weekend. Hoping to have the tank done this weekend. I also want to try and figure out some front fenders for the tank. To make it more realistic looking.

You can just have them so they don't end up sitting in a box. |
