  1. Does anyone know what's going on with ModelTruckin? I sent them a message and ordered some decals two weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back.
  2. I've got a resin Dodge daycab here for trade. It's painted and has a modified Freightliner COE interior in it, the windows are cuttings from an envelope plastic. It has some places where it will need repair and putty then sanding. Otherwise it is a nice cab. Interior is not glued in so it will come right out no problem. What's in the pics is exactly how the cab will come to you. Now for what I'm looking for. I will accept any of these cabs in trade. Cabs must be mostly complete with interior glass and chrome. AMT Freightliner COE AMT Peterbilt Pacemaker 352 AMT IH 4070 Eagle. Comment or DM me if interested.
  3. Yes it's exactly what I need. What do you want for it?
  4. I got one too about my 57 Chevy parts.
  5. I'm needing a grill for an Ertl 1/25th scale Kenworth T600A. I actually have an unpainted T600A interior tub I'm willing to trade. I have other stuff to trade too. The grill is all I need. I'm building the truck to be a day cab.
  6. I need a hood, complete grill, radiator, rear bumper, both front and back headlight bezels and tail light bezels. All of the suspension I have.
  7. Thanks for all of the nice comments guts. Her she is hooked to the trailer.
  8. As I said on my Diamond Reo COE there would be a Marmon coming soon. Well here it is, I just finished it. It's on a K123 AMT frame I used everything from the K123 frame to make it look right. The decals are Kingsway decals from Jerry at Modeltruckin. There is a completed matching trailer that will go with this truck. I will take a couple more pics of it with the trailer later and post them. Please enjoy my Marmon.
  9. That's what I need 2 actually. I need 2 of the MPC Gravel Trailer king pins. I bought 2 of these trailers on eBay and neither of them have the king pins.
  10. Thanks for all of the comments guys. Got a Marmon cabover coming soon too.
  11. This Diamond Reo shines better than she did before. Ok sorry about that old song reference. What we have here is a resin Diamond Reo cabover. Probably not gonna see many of these with the closing of Keystone's. As you can see it's three different colors. The blue is Testors Star Spangled Blue, the gray is actually a fluke in where the tape was wider than I thought so the primer stripe was born. The brown is Tamiya dark earth. The frame engine and wheels are from a GMC Astro 95. The tanks are from an Italeri Australian Western Star.
  12. Update. Almost finished with this one. I don't know what an air cleaner would look like for it.
  13. Being built alongside my Dodge, and several other resin trucks like A Marmon cabover, and a Diamond Reo cabover, is this Hayes. This one is supposed to look like an old retired truck. It's been through a lot and even had a door replaced at some point it It's life. The chassis is from an AMT Road Boss, the rims and tires are from a GMC Astro kit. It's not easy to see in the pics but I did make them look rusty.
  14. Some more progress. Getting close to finishing it. I used plastic from mail envelopes for the glass.
  15. You could probably make a Revell 1970 Roadrunner body work with this. Just cut the nose off and put it on the Roadrunner. The hood is different but if your hood is OK it should work fine. The chassis will work too. A GTX kit will work too of course, but it has GTX badges on it that will have to be sanded off.
  16. Yeah I thought I had the wrong numbers on it. I have one that's a sleeper cab I finished a couple years ago.
  17. Got this little daycab Dodge in a trade. It was just the cab but it was in pretty good shape. I got a lot of great random parts with it. There's a place right on the roof that just won't sand smooth or fill with putty and look right so it's staying I guess. I used a FLD interior tub. Had to butcher it good to make it fit but it's working now. The frame (I think) is from a 359 California Hauler. I've shortened it it was already shortened once. And it's going to get shortened again. The engine is from a junked Titan 90. The rims are from my stash. Just random wheels. I've got to get glass for it.
  18. You guys are right about Krylon too. It's just as bad if not worse than Rustoleum. It say at the top of every can. No drips, no runs, no errors. But that's all lies from them. I've got one can of Krylon that is the worst can of paint I've ever seen. It runs like water and if it does bond to anything in some miracle it's a very thin coat. And if I spray back over it with the SAME can of paint, it wrinkles up every time.
  19. Of course. I always do. Some of the cans do well. While others don't.
  20. I have recently bought several cans of assorted colors of Rustoleum paints. They are like spraying colored water on my models. Even primer is bad. It runs off soon as it hits the parts I spray it on. Is anyone else having this issue with Rustoleum?
