Excellent representation of a 90’s icon. -
A&M model trucks Kenworth w990
vincen47 replied to Mr mopar's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
It’ll be a fine kit, that’s for sure. -
I’m not familiar off hand with the unibody, but that sounds interesting. Fill us in if you have more information. But yes, the windshield would be the biggest issue, raising the bottom edge up flush with the side windows. I have to go back and check, but I think I remember someone saying that there may have been a production year or two that the windshield wasn’t different, staying the same as the White, but I could be wrong.

A really nice project. You don’t see a lot of these built. Great detail work. -

Neat project! Ok, who brought the dog? -
Kenworth K123, "Old Blue" Carnie rig..
vincen47 replied to k357's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Unique build from a unique operation. I like the generator. Looks they they had to put the fifth wheel all the way back to accommodate. I suppose the fleet owners didn’t want to have to stretch the frame. I guess as long as the axles scaled out ok, it was fine. Probably didn’t want a longer tractor anyway, making it harder to maneuver it some tight locations, right? -
Excellent. Glad to see the outdoor photos. They take an already impressive model to the next level of realism.

I like the simpler look. Nice. -
looking for 2007 freightliner??
vincen47 replied to oldr-n-drt's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not impossible, but not easy. Depends somewhat on which model you’re after, but most are not readily available. A&N Resin made a Coronado, they’re not stocking it right now, but STSupply has one. It’s the 2010+ generation, but with minor modification it could be made into a 2007, as it’s mostly the headlights that are different. I believe A&N also made the previous round headlight model, at one time. They currently offer an Argosy, if it’s a cabover you’re looking for, but that’s the 2012+ model, though they did make the previous generation, too. Their circa 2007 Argosy is much harder to find. So, the late model Argosy is the only modern Freightliner you can easily get right now. There’s been a Classic XL made in resin, but nothing currently offered, so again, that’ll be hard to find. There also was one guy who made a Columbia, but those are extremely rare, only a few were cast. -
CaraRam! (Caravan pickup)

Wow, now that’s an interesting build. Great craftsmanship, design, and creativity. One would have to wonder about the ride and handling of a 1:1 version? -
'81 Bronco
vincen47 replied to Plowboy's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice. I love the paint. She’s a beauty. I have a 1:1 ‘86 Eddie Bauer. This is the first time I’ve seen someone to an EB inspired paint scheme on the forum. I like the tail light treatment, that’s unique, too. -

Oooh, now that’s a beautiful truck. Great paint. Love the work/fleet specs. -
Old '97
vincen47 replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Ah, yes. Very true. Fertilizer is harsh. I agree, every mark, streak, dent, and scar tells a story when it comes to the life of a vehicle. Models like this that represent a vehicle that’s been down the “road of life” are the most interesting. -
Old '97
vincen47 replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great build. Yeah, the rust is more of a coastal pattern. Excellent job on it. Here in Michigan, they rust from the bottom up. The wheel wells and cab corners would be gone.
