Diesel Gypsy Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 oilman Posted Yesterday, 08:03 PM Tamiya flat neutral grey, flat nato brown and flat black acrylic. I've not had much success using acrylic washes. My usual weathering route is an oil or enamel wash over an acrylic base coat. Your excelant model shows me that acrylic washes work very well & look amazing too. So now I'm off to breakout my acrylics & give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration.

You will need 2 lines from each tank. . 1 from the bottom of the tanks to the fuel filter. 1 return line from the injection pump to the top of the tanks.

Eshaver Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Do any of you folks know anyone who may have modeled a 3808 Cat motor for either the Louisvile or the Ford F-700? Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Do any of you folks know anyone who may have modeled a 3808 Cat motor for either the Louisvile or the Ford F-700? Ed Shaver I think maybe you are refering to a 3208 Cat. Not sure who casts one of those? Here is a couple progress pics of the Louie.

Ayatollah Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Isn't that an old 3208 in there? There was a 3808 but I can't remember the last one I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilman Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Isn't that an old 3208 in there? There was a 3808 but I can't remember the last one I've seen. This kit engine carries the Ford Diesel valve covers. I believe that the Ford LNT carries the CAT 3208, not sure. The engines are identical in both kits with the exception of the badging. CAT OTR engines in kit form, 3208, 3406, 3408. The 3406 is an inline six and is a generation model in 1:1 meaning it started as a 3406 to a 3406E. These have since been replaced with the C-series engines. The kit form you will see in Revell Pete snap kits is a 3406. The other two are V8's and also no longer in 1:1 production.

Eshaver Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Oilman, I hit the wrong key, my mistake, thank you. The reason I asked in the first place is the fact I drove a Ford F-600 with one of those Cat engines in it for an oil company that delivered heating oil. I did a model of the truck a couple of years ago. Still the A M T kit comes with a "Gas " engine in it . Still one can combine the Allison automatic with another motor. Thanks for your help Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willys07 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 How did you fasten the wood bed down to the frame? Would like to see some more pics of the finished wood bed. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 In all of the excitement of A.D.H.D and senility, I forgot to tell you how great that came out. The woodwork was a classy touch! The weathering is perfect! It's harder than it looks, and you got it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hey folks, I have a question. Will the motor in the Louisville fit the seperate Transmission in the Ford F-600? See, both kits are in deep storage across town. I figure.. some one out there might know. Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
