This is a great looking model... It's amazing how much better the Moebius Great Dane trailer looks on the back of old Italeri trucks than their own (Italeri) trailer models... Because of their trailers (Moebius), I have so many more projects to build, now..... They look great on back of ANYTHING!!! I can't wait to get a decent supply of 48' flatbed trailers from them... I agree that gray might have a better effect, contrast wise... Non the less, a fantastic model... Love the decals... I did that on one of mine, as well... They look made for that trailer...

My old & fine 1/16 scale 359
kilrathy10 replied to JimmyG's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
These are awesome rigs built up... Even out of the box they are pretty impressive... I'm shocked you still have one you built as a kid... ALL my early stuff has long ago been smashed and/or blown up with fire crackers!! Excellent idea for the supers... I have 3 of those 1/16 toy trucks, (with the grain trailers) as well as 7 or 8 of the KW and Pete kits in 1/16... I planned on modifying the trailers and pairing them up with one of the kit trucks.... I'm inspired by you effort, here... Very nice idea... -

Nice looking set of tires, as has been stated more or less, before... Great job on this one, thus far... My computer makes your truck look orange...? I'm ok with that.. I guess I can dream.... I think it looks awesome in orange.... Too cool... -

Kenworth Aerodyne Coe (Revell AG)

I thing we all remember this model... I know I was about 16 years old when I first saw this one on the top shelf at Target...(believe it or not, they used to sell models) You've done an excellent job on this one... Very nice work, brush painting, and all... That must be some really good paint... It looks great.... -
Dude!! That looks KILLER!!! Amazing work...

I have these, too... The ONLY thing I don't like about these, are those dog leg doors... Maisto does a much better job with all the openings...

That's pretty cool.... Must be something... I'd love to see one of these running at full tilt! Definitely not going to out run the radio with any of these colors... Although, there are a lot of these running around here in Houston... But, if you can afford one of these, then I guess you can afford the ticket... ?

These are very nice models, Man... Very nice... I especially like the Alfa...

I broke down and bought a couple of these from diecastmodelswholesale.com the other day... I'm not keen on the color choices they made, but they are very nice models, otherwise....Interestingly, they touted opening hoods and trunks, early on, but they do not...(At least at first glance) After careful examination, I discovered that they must have decided mid production not to make them that way, but it was too late to change the original molds, or something...So there is just a couple of plastic retaining strips keeping them from being opened... When I found this, I was like, "AWESOME!!!!" Can you say "Weekend project"??? And I've started already! I took the plastic retainers out and opened the blue one up....The hood and trunk, do indeed, open up... Already hinged, even.... BUT... They did not put any compartment detailing behind the engine, nor up front... Good thing I have a couple of 1/18 scale models around for reference....These have the potential to be awesome models....?

These look really good... I love this color on Mustangs... Not sure what it is, but I so like it, very much... Love the mods, and great pics....

BJ McKay on steroids...
kilrathy10 replied to Mike77's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I don't remember if you had posted this one, either... I'm glad you did, cause I can upload these pics into "this" computer... Totally a beautiful effort, if there ever was one... Absolutely beautiful... I assume this one is 1/25 scale? Either way.... AWESOME!!! I still have the 1/16 scale triple axle wrecker build you started... Never got around to completing it... One day... -
Peterbilt and pneumatic trailer
kilrathy10 replied to Dutzie's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks like you did a pretty good job on this, to me... This is something you don't see every day in scale... Very nice work... -
This thing is very nice... Too awesome... I don't think I've seen one this well done, EVER... You've out done yourself... Incredible work... It's just such a beautiful model... The detail is amazing, and the color really pops... I'm amazed at how good this looks.... Awesome!!!!

Ford Aeromax
kilrathy10 replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
You gotta be kiddin' me, Man... This is an awesome project... Man, this looks good... Great job on all the mods... I see some really excellent ideas, here, I would have never thought to do... Very nice work... -
This looks really good, and I really like the decal choice... Tiny flaws aside, they look great.... I may have to get a set of these for mine.... Excellent work on this restoration project... I'm impressed with the dash work, too... Mine are always very basic... Yours looks quite convincing.... Very nice work... The frame and engine look clean and well put together, as well... This is a nice project and I'm looking forward to seeing the finished version...

A tale of two trailers
kilrathy10 replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
These look great... I never thought about changing the ride height on these, weirdly... It does make all the difference...
