  1. Thank You! I believe the AMT cummins has a unit similar. Think that could be made to work?
  2. It looks like I should be able to fudge it into place in the Cabover frame. For some reason I'm finding it near impossible to find good reference pics of a Cat powered WT or even a Cummins just to see how the 6 cylinders are placed. I did however find an engine swap video on a Cat powdered CL on YouTube. I assume it would be similar to the WT.
  3. Good Info to have. Thank You. Did they offer an Aftercooled A block? The #D printed Cab I'm going to be using Using I'm guessing is roughly the era of the A block. Could I add an Aftercooler to the Revell engine or would it be too much work? Where would I source one? This seems like I've gone down quite the Rabbit hole.
  4. Well Got Shipment notification for the Cab so I went ahead and ordered the IH Cab Over kit and a Revell Cat 3406 Engine. So Hopefully I'll be able to build what I'm imagining. You guys already know the color scheme 😂
  5. Thanks Guys! I hope I can make this future Ford Project Work.
  6. Long Time No Post. Anyway I Just ordered Texas 3D'd Ford WT-9000 Sleeper cab. I was wondering if anyone has used these 3D cabs yet and on what Chassis and what modifications would be needed? I have built 1 and have 1 in progress of AMT's Retooled International CO-4070A. I like that kit would it be acceptable to use or would I run into length issues? I'd also like to do a Cat Diesel Could I get away with a Cat 3406? I see a resin one and from an old Forum it appears that is the engine in the Revell Snapper Pete 359. I'm not a Big Rig aficionado But I do want a Ford Cabover in my small fleet of Trucks. Any Help is appreciated. This is the Engine I found that I might want to use: https://stsupplyco.com/products/caterpillar-3406-diesel-engine-kit-1-25-resin?_pos=2&_sid=d70c89d7a&_ss=r This is the Cab I ordered: https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/ford-wt9000-kit This is the Base Kit I'm thinking of Using: https://www.amazon.com/International-Transtar-CO-4070A-Semi-Tractor/dp/B08TMSPHHF/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3685BX7XDXNJA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.urExtf3J7Ff94nBDJ-0ZPTBSWW_aO61g6wO2jSp-e0srrKuw1AbULsUxmVlwNFDd3ckLoUwJmoWkITSP3bOszg.Ds7S34bJW1Czzdg0Ti89DQrpoBXazLrD9gMIUH_y7Uo&dib_tag=se&keywords=amt+international+transtar+co-4070a&qid=1747567397&sprefix=amt+international+co%2Caps%2C107&sr=8-1 And For Fun I'll attach Pics of "My Fleet" I Do have a few more WIPS but These are my Completed Big Rigs Thanks!
  7. So I Know there are some 3D Models out there. Not sure on printability though. I Believe EDM 3D has designed files that could be made printable. However you would have to find someone to print for you if you don't have a printer.
  8. I just got my Order Last week. Took a while for it to actually ship and then the postal service lost it... Hopefully you get your order soon.
  9. Like the title says. Years ago I traded off the remains my first Glue Kit for a JoHan Superbird body. I can't remember who I traded it off to. It was a Dark Red blown up by Firecrackers 1967 Mustang. I'd like to add it back to my collection if it still exists. I'll attach a Pic of before I blew it up and after. After of course is what I imagine it could still look like. Been years since I traded it off so It very well may not exist anymore or the person I traded with may no longer post.
  10. I don't believe I have ever seen one but maybe Combine 2 of the Revell 4.6/5.4 V8s. If I remember right that is essentially what the V10 is a Triton V8 with 2 extra cylinders.
  11. Did anything ever happen from this? I'm really wanting to convert my 71 kit to a 70.
