1959scudetto

Excellent truck/trailer combo, JT - now we all know why orange has become your trademark... :-)

Amazing, job, Jürgen! It's hard to tell the model from the real one! Fascinating how you replicated all the hydraulics on this workhorse - outstanding!!!

Very good looking KW, Sean apart from the bumper it could be a late 60's/early 70's magazine truck from Owner Operator or the like.

50 years old but much better looking than today's racers....the unfortunate'65 X1 as well as the '66 Sebring winner - how did you make the windshield of this one? Great models in any case!!!

Bring back these sold out resin kits - sports cars 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L "Lusso" (Scalecraft or new?) 1969 Lola T70 Mk III B Daytona winner Donohue/Hobbs (Mini Exotics? Fein Design?) 1949 Ferrari 166 MM Le Mans winner Chinetti/Selsdon (sold under UMi, but cast by Paul Fisher) maybe issue some new cars 1968 Renault 16 TS 1965 Lotus Cortina Mk I 1968 Lamborghini Espada or finally some (Italian) dream cars 1965 Dino 206 GT berlinetta speciale 1968 Bertone Carabo Alfa Romeo 1969 Alfa Romeo 33/2 coupé speciale 1969 Ferrari 512 prototipo pininfarina 1970 Lancia Stratos HF Zero At least, dreaming is free !

do you know when this will be available ? I just read that the Revell 250 SWB will again NOT be re-issued (fortunately I have 3 original Italeri SWB's left)

exactly my words!!! I thought the stell plates were made of thin sheets of rusted steel - but cardboard??? Awesome weathering on load and trailer !!!

When I re-started building in 1982, I bought the first truck kit: amt/Matchbox Peterbilt 359 wrecker - I brush-painted it in blue and yellow and still have it today.

Adam, this old rustbucket looks that realistic, if you had not shown pics with a key, a brochure or your hand on the roof, I would have thought this model is real!!! Those rusty spots are totally convincing - the whole van is absolutely amazing !!!

Very nice model of one of the best looking rally cars ever, Adriano! Forza Italia!!!

C'était formidable !!! Very nice model, I wish I had this in my collection!

Exactly what Jim said - I especially like the grill : at first sight I thought that you have used a photo-etched piece!

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 !
