More underside details added, good paint coverage
I've repainted where rubbing down the seams took off paint at the centerline, attached the radiator shell (But freed the flap from it...) and detailed the main gear wells. Note:
Main gear legs, doors and wheels/tires!
Coolant pipe in port well- styrene rod bent back and forth until flexible, glued into place. It probably should run right down the center line, next time.
Compressed air tank at front of main wheel well. Part tree scrap turned into a short, fat, "Scuba tank: and then filed down to bas-relief.
Wing rib structure - between the brown main well and the lighter colored pockets for the main gear you can see white shapes which are the lattice work rib structure.
Main gear operating jacks. Crude but servicible immitations of pneumatic cylinders were made by taking a 0.025" drill (matched to the smallest rod stock I have) and drilling a hole into the end of a 0.04-0.05 rod. Its dead easy to glue a thin rod into a hole drilled into a thick one- cut to length and there's your pneumatic or hydraulic.
Note also the filler piece of flat rod styrene in the radiator shell, making up for the material removed by the razor saw...

Faran crane truck (3)
Farans are off-road trucks, and they usually don't come with double wheels on the rear axles. While double wheels distribute weight better on roads, it actually decrease a truck's cross-country capabilities. This Faran is a compromise of the two options, fitted with wider tires on the rear axles to distribute the weight of the crane and supporting system, while retaining its off-road capabilities.
