raisin27 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I really prefer the look of Cabover trucks but someone gave me this one so I am going to give it a go. Looking for pics of what people have done with this kit for inspiration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmopars Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I also love this kit. I builds great for the most part. Decals are challenging just due to how they are routed over a contour. The sleeper also is a bit of an interesting challenge as you want to paint the parts separate and then assemble the sleeper, but I prefer to assemble it first and I do not think you can easily. Other than those 2 slight challenges, this kit goes together like Legos, very good quality and the fit is spot on. Typical kit of the ERTL era, excellent stuff.

TruckerAL Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Oldmopars is all correct. Great kit to do, but it does have it's challenges. I also noticed that the front axle needs to be narrowed, and moved forward slightly as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bit, actually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Good choice for a build. When looking for inspiration, I look at original factory brochures. Seeing a pattern on many 60's and 70's trucks, aluminum front wheels, steel rear wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
