i agree with Bill, basswood is the way to go..i use Pastels to stain my wood..

you did a Awesome job..

i would use frame from the AMT ford Louisville short hauler model kit.. i may have one, send me a message to remind me to look .

i never had that problem and i use rattle cans..if u shake the can 2 minuets ever time u use it (looking at a clock ..not guessing) then the paint will be the same color. now for you air bush users yea that could save you...

here is a picture of the real one 15' long...https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrEZ6p6dPRio3sAQhYPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNiZjEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Ny/RV=2/RE=1660216571/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.gpartsinc.com%2fair-power-line-3-in-one-air-line-for-tractor-trailers-big-rig-trucks%2f/RK=2/RS=By.llVKThIDY8tnMA1MuoCzSPnY-

Welcome to the forum Paddy & i bet you are a doughnut eater.

welcome aboard Charles!

you did a Awesome Job on the Mack..

looks good..

next time you install a windshield or any clear part get you some Elmer's Glue all..(NEVER use that testots glue) you get any on the clear parts before it dry's use a brush and warm water to remove it.. i dont think you will ever remove the testors glue on the windshield so get u some bare metal foil or some tamiya clear smoke and tint just that part..

have you ever ordered from 3D scale parts ? if so where they from ? no info on the site..

looks good so far..
