Great model! They sure do stack them on there, don't they!

Interesting. What did you use to "chrome" the bumper?

Yahshu, nice job on the frame. I thought the Papa & Hideout trucks came out first which is why all the AMT KW Aerodynes have the long reame.

Barry, try here: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truckkit_instructions/ertl/8025_international/ If that doesn't work for you, I have two in the stash. I can check to see if they both have instrictions, and send you a set if you want them.

Nice job. I don't think i'd like to drive that around Tokyo, though!

Nice. Are you going to put a wing on the top of the sleeper?

Very nice little unit.

Here's the one I use for work all the time: http://www.onlineunitconversion.com/ You can convert just about anything!

The Kenworth K500 uses thr DAF XF cab.

Great 1970s aerodynamics!

Fantastic work, Jarda. Absolutely fantastic!

Jacobus, I'm not sure what you have in Holland, but you can check with K&S Metals; they sell a lot of tubing to the modeling industry. Also, it you want a really chrome stack (probably not on this build) check in electronics stores for collapasable antennas for radios.

Don't electrocute yourself, Larry!

Looks really nice. I like your fifth wheel detail. May I make a quick suggestion? Take some 3/16" (5mm) aluminum tubing and replace to solid piece of plastic rod that that AMT gives you for the exhaust stack. It'll realy improve the look. Doing it on this one might require some disassembly, so better to try it on the next one. Just a thought.

Joe, There really isn't anything you can do about the grill; that's the way it was designed. You could swap the grill with a GMC Astro, but it won't say "CHEVROLET" across the grill; or you could replace it with P/E. Sometimes Czech Truck Modell has P/E grills for the Astro & Titan. Again, it won't say "CHEVROLET", but it will look nicer. http://www.modelmakershop.com/modelmakershop/index.php?cat=c126_Czech-Truck-Modell.html&XTCsid=7oh7ef8glkkbmm39tu07gkoa01

Thanks, guys. Yes, I'd like to get a decent W9000 cab. One of these days.

Thanks, Kurt.

That's pretty cool!

Thanks fore the info, Jerry. I'll check it out. I just might do that. Right now it's hooked to the Peterbilt.

I don't think the Chinese have the same notion of copyrights as the West does. You've put it out to the public; therefore it can be copied. The Pentagon is dealing with counterfit Chinese parts in the military supply chain right now.

Nice old AutoCar. Very classic.

Looks good. Sort of the "Green Stealth". As far as I know, there is no visor currently available for this kit. The ones made for the RoG W900 or the AMT W900 are too narrow. I know; I've tried. If you find one, let me know as I need some, too.

Great stories! 'Cackling like a madman"! I don't care who you are; that's funny.

Thanks, Chuck. That's a good idea for the W900. I already have three in the stash, but I can always use another one!!!

Thanks, Mike. I am hoping to make a Blur Mule eventually. I have the decals from JBot, but that's about it.
