PierreR89 Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Got this done today. It had almost the same problems as the General did exept this had much more flash on the parts and way more warped hood and cab. I was surprised that the decals even worked since they were from 1979. Also found out why the hood hinges does not line up, they have flipped side on the parts in the manual so the left side should be on the right. The manual shows the pins facing the radiator but if they are flipped they will face the headlights and line up much better with the hingepart that glues on the back of the bumper. I only looked closer at it after i painted it and just left it as it is because i did not want to destroy the paint so the hood is just loose ontop as on the General.
Jim B Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Nice looking Bison. The Bison & General look good together. Great job on some tough kits.

Dutzie Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Nice job on these! It’s been 40+ years since I have built one of these. I have a couple in my stash ready to hit the bench. Thanks for the tips.
PierreR89 Posted May 8, 2020 Author Posted May 8, 2020 Thanks. Yes they look great standing next to eachother. Thinking about buying the Gmc astro and Chevy titan and having them next to eachother to. Only thing i regrett not doing is painting the inside of the sleeper black to stop light shining through it. Did not need to do it on the General because of the blue color.
kilrathy10 Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Man, that is a cool rig.... I haven't seen one of these in a very long time... I think this may have been one of the first big rigs I EVER attempted to build...Long time ago... I think I was 12... It didn't turn out the way I had planned, but if I had the skills I have now, things would have been different.... Excellent work on this one... I'm surprised the decals work, as well... Great job...
tbill Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Great looking pair! You’ve inspired me, I may take a crack at building one of these kits.
