Tall sleeper for Italeri Freightliner FLC?

26 November 2012 - 11:24 AM

Is there a tall sleeper (about 1 foot taller than the cab) for the FLC kit out there? The kit sleeper is even with the cab and the truck I'm looking to duplicate has a taller sleeper. Ultimately I may just extend the kit sleeper, but wanted to look into my options.

I finally got this kit so I can do the Pork Chop Express from Big Trouble in Little China. This link shows the sleeper needed.

Monogram '53 Corvette vs AMT '53 Corvette?

13 November 2012 - 08:40 AM

I see Revell is re-issuing the 1/24 Monogram Corvette. I am currently building an AMT '53 Corvette which appears to be one of their later kits. I am quite happy with this kit as far as fit and detail.

I have plans for a second '53 Corvette that I am looking at doing a bit differantly more of a concept car and so I'm wondering how these kits compare other than the slight scale difference. The Monogram kit should be a little easier to find when it comes out, but the AMT kit is far from difficult to locate on ebay.

Anyone have experience with both kits that can give an opinion of the pros and cons of each kit or if one is clearly a better kit?

Thanks

Italeri multipiece truck cabs, assembly question

31 October 2012 - 08:03 AM

I'm building my first Italeri truck kit, and am wondering about their multipiece cabs. Can I assemble the shell completely so I can paint it without the interior like I do every other kit I've built, or do I have to build it around the interior?

The kit I am doing now is the Freightliner FLC if it matters, but I also have the Ford LTL to do down the road.

Thanks
