Nice job with that, and it’s good to see you building again.

I heard that too, from an unconfirmed source a few weeks ago. If true it’s very unfortunate. And this is a time I’d say “I reject your reality and substitute my own”.

Looks beautiful! I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about. I think the Molotow finish is actually better than kit chrome at replicating polished aluminum wheels. In theory, you don’t even have to touch them in a visible spot to mount a tire and put them on the truck.

Yes, it needs to fully cure in any case. I’ve never tried to polish it, but I’ve never needed to, or wanted to polish it. I’ve had good luck with it, but I’ve only used the pens so far. I will try airbrushing it soon. I think it’s a good product that’s worth more experimentation from all of us. I haven’t resisted using it because of fears of touching the part. I simply don’t touch it, nor would I allow others to do so. Granted, I’ve only used it on trim, emblems, and other parts that are already in place on the model, so the Molotow finish doesn’t have to be handled.

Yes! Yes! I’m cheering on this project, especially if you offer it in the future.

The Transtar II has to be one of the most wanted reissues. I’ve been patiently waiting for years. I’d take a resin one, if that was an option. Speaking of resin, It’s not a modern-tool styrene kit, but KFS did make a high quality resin White Road Commander. Granted, it’s expensive. KFS recently sold the tooling and rights of that kit to Auslowe. Nice Box Art. I like the stripes from the truck used for the box too.

A very worthwhile save. Great work.

She’s a beauty!

One of the best examples of this trailer I’ve seen.

Another great one! You always capture the style of period so well through your paint and decal choices. The lighting and background also enhances the very pleasing overall effect.

The weathering is awesome, especially on the engine.

Excellent, as always!

Beautiful!

I think we’re all wondering about it. Is it your own design you’ve had printed? Looks like the start of a great project.

I’m watching this one! Nice work.
