Great looking Diamond Reo. I really like it with the short hood.

Nice build.

I do prefer to build in 1/25, so I guess depending on the price I might be up for one or two.

Definalty "picking you apart". Like Anthony said, just bringing something to your attention. While 1/25 scale modern Peterbilt hoods would be nice, they won't work with the Revell USA, AMT, or Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359. The good part is, most of the hoods you mentioned use the same newer cab. So one cab & multiple hood options.

Probably not.

Nice looking Panzer.

Interesting! I hadn't thoight of it that way.

In addidtion to the hoods, you would need the proper 1/25 scale cab.

The Corsair is one of my favorite WWII naval fighters (right up there with the Hellcat). I'd really like to do a couple of these in 1/144. Angel, I remember helping a friend of mine build the "Baa Baa Black Sheep" kit way back when.

I agree that 1969 is probably a good starting point. I have that this 359 is from 1967-72, or there abouts.

Great looking daycab. I really like it. I like your road, too.

Looks pretty good.

Ok, so I've been working my way through Season 1 (I'm on Episode 11), and I've noticed a few things about the truck. Sonny has referred to the engine as a "903 diesel", and in several of the episodes you can clearly see the "903" on the valve covers & the turbo; so that leads me to conclude that the truck has a VT903. In Episode 10, Will is concerned about driving a logging truck with a 5-4 twin stick. When Sonny tells him about the transmission, Will replies, "What? No buttons?". I'm assuming that he is talking about the transmission on Sonny's truck, but I'm not sure what he's talking about. Is he saying that Sonny's truck has an automatic transmission, or that it has an air assisted manual transmission? I also noticed that the badging on the truck (the hood ornament & the "KENWORTH" badges on the side of the hood & sleeper are gold. This leads me to believe that the truck they are "driving around" is a 1973. The interior looks to be a tan VIT interior, but I cannot tell what color the buttons on the back wall & doors are. In some shots the look green (to match the exterior? ), and in other shots they appear to be brown-ish. Does anyone know what color they really might be? I have to admit, it's a pretty cool show. Never did see it back in the 1970s, and I actually hear about it from a 1984 AutoWorld catalog where there was an article about "correcting" the AMT "Movin' On" Kenworth.

You could ask 100 different truck modelers & get 100 different answers. Everyone has there own personal favorites. I'd go with a Kenworth, myself; but I do like the idea of the Mack or even the Autocar.

That's fantastic!

Nice! Where's the gun crew?

Cool looking model! Very well done. Kind of suprising to me that it only has a single propeller, though.

Nice add. Does make you wonder.

Well, you don't see that every day. I did see something like this while driving around Grafton, MA, one day a couple of years ago.

Awesome job! Very realistic weathering.

Very nice looking Wasp.

Great looking ship. You did a fine job.

That's a great looking engine. Almost a shame to hide it under the hood.

No, Bongiovanni Construction in Syracuse is no relation (that I know of). It's just a coincidence. Kind of a cool coincidence, though.

The Detroit Diesel Series60 is a blue-grey. Tamiya Medium Blue XF18 is a decent match to Series60 Blue. Alpine Green is for the earlier engines (8V71, 6-71, etc)
