1959scudetto

Terry, you may call them junkers, but they would be the highlight of several collections - I especially like the Brockway Huskie with the set-back front axle. JT, have you left a bit of orange paint for us others? This color is definitely your trade mark, but what is that? Two non-orange rigs? Have you already run out of your favorite paint?

Very nice Coe's, Mike - especially the KW must have been a lot of work - a scratchbuilt front combined with the aerodyne cab sure requires a lot of adoptions: shortened frame, relocated exhaust pipes, scratchbuilt sun visor and handlebars etc etc. - amazing!!!

Nice conversion, gino, with the flatbed/stake behind the cab on that western long wheel base! You even lowered the headlights to the correct height - great!!!

Great, rig, James! It cries "70's" overall - it just looks period perfect! I love those 60's and 70's US trucks that showed up in several trucker movies almost 40 years ago. I have the same one waiting for a restauration. The foil on the underside of the cab used for some heat insulation is a nice idea!

Very nice,

Awesome Autocar Michigan train, Chuck, and the Diamond reo Raider, too - is it the old Frank Gortsema kit?

Sean, sorry for my silly question - I obviously didn't read the headline which says "351 Peterbilt"

Nice find, Gary! The Calberson R 5 from the Monte Carlo Rally (2 nd and 3rd place then!) has been reissued by Italeri in 2006 - here is where the ESCI molds ended up! I have found a kit presentation on a German modeling homepage - here is the link: http://www.modellversium.de/kit/artikel.php?id=1689 Hobby link japan lists this kit, although backorderes/out of stock at the moment.

Very nice Pete, Sean - is this a 351? The narrow nose looks almost exactly like the bad Pete from the movie "duel" which impressed me much more than 40 years ago. Great addition is the wheels that you used - I'm getting bored by the Alcoa wheels which seem to be included in almost any US truck kit!

When going over the ramp and crushing the big glass sign, Carroll Jo doesn't need any wipers... (but a bullet-proof cab would be helpful!) Very nice model, perfect execution - great Coe truck!!!

Super model! I had this as a Matchbox truck 50 years ago. Did you scratch guild the hood with an amt cab? Or is it a reworked toy? A resin kit? I really would like to build a workhorse like this - fabulous!!!

Looks great, Mike! I looked at the above pics thinking this was the truck you wanted to replicate, till I finally realised that this is the model that you have built !!!

The same here, too - excellent and very real looking Coe, Sean !

Not a fan of military models, but this one is fantastic !

Tom, did you scratchbuild the H100 using amt's C-900 cab? It looks fantastic - I would like to have one of these in my collection!!!

Absolutely my opinion - Jürgen, you build some of the most impressive truck models that can be seen anywhere on the internet, period. Fantastic!!!

These are good news, Matt (though I have 3 original Italeri SWB's in my stash...), but then again, the picture on Revell's announcement is not correct: it shows a '60 model, while the Italeri kit is a '61 (different window contours with vent windows)

Show us more oldies, Gino! They look much better an have al lot more character than the new ones.

Great Freightliner, gino! Especially the integrated exhaust stack looks fantastic - I should rebuild my CF truck the same way!

Mark, those hinges are plastic parts that are supplied in the kit (i have built RoG's KW Aerodyne Coe long ago). Very nice model, Gino! The weak point of this kit are the narrow tires.

Rugged workhorse - well done!

Great looking trucks, Chuck !

Exactly what I thought when I saw the first pic. If I didn't know that this is a modelling forum I had taken it for real: simply amazing!!!! especially the look (with open hood) into the fender with its road dirt, the rust and grime on engine an frame - perfect!

Very nice workhorse - looks like it came out of a 70's sales brochure. Just the right amount of chrome - perfect!

Go, Kowalski !!!
