Roadworks - Grader
The Road maintenace authorities also have a base close to Dåseberga and thus yellow road maitenance vehicles appears now and then. One of these is the yellow grader, once a very common vehicle to keep the roads up to standard.
What to use
The Grader is a Kit from Kibri that I got hold of to a decent price. The kit is for a grader from the 1960s period which suits me perfectly.

The Build
This kit was put together according to instruction with the only difference tha the parts were painted before assembly. It was easier to get the paint in the right places. The red and white machine was now painted in a yeloow livery just like a road maintenance machine.
There is nothing particularly difficult with the kit and the whole build went onwards quite nicely. Now it is ready in its yellow livery. The front view shows how it looks.

There are still some decals and details to paint, but that will come when the rest ov the raod maintennace machinery is done. It looks just as good from behind.
