Darren B Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks guys, I am trying to keep going on this because I am really close to color and finishing this thing. My next model club meeting I will look in the spare parts boxes to see I may be able to get another tank there instead of stealing the tank from the california hauler kit.

K&S tubing is what I made the tanks on my Highbinder out of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren B Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) getting more detail on the engine, I am not an expert on semi's and semi engines, just going off of reference pics, if something is off let me know so I can correct it.....like i had no idea they did not have spark plugs and spark plugs wires till someone told me.....so I am green on semi engine details.
