More work done tonight.

Very nice I’ve got one on the way. If mine comes anywhere close to that I’ll be thrilled.

Good day all hope everyone is well. I am getting the repop AMT Transtar 4070a probably over the weekend and could ( as always) use some advice. I know pretty much it will be a Loadmasters tractor using most likely the Alcoa’s on the front. So obviously I kind of have an idea of colors, and probably going with Tamiya. However could use so input on which primer to use, and how to get a good prep afterwards on sanding the primer. I generally tend to be awfully heavy handed when sanding so I am a bit wary of how you say “ screwing it up”. So if anybody has any input, or pics of their builds I’d appreciate it. Thank you.

Very nice. Where did you purchase the truck from?

Project 359 continues on. At this point I’m about 85ish% finished. Just final parts assembly, frame touch ups, slight weathering, and decals left to do. Coming along great.

Thank you. I assume you are referring to the General. If so it is the latest reissue of the kit.

Hello have some questions to the following models with potential issues. 1) MPC DM600 2) AMT GMC General 3) AMT Diamond Reo (hood, fender assembly) Any tips, and all the way up to horror stories will be appreciated

Thanks bisc63

Mike that’s really nice. I like the Green a lot.

Also deciding on enamel or lacquer rattle can and colors.

Worked on fitting the grille in yesterday. Looks pretty good. May need a bit more work so we’ll see.

I'll take the RModel, The Bison/General, the Z28, and maybe the 55 Chevy.

Hello all. I will be starting my AMT 1970 Chevelle SS454 soon and am wondering if any of you that have built the kit could share pictures, and tips about the build. Thank you.

Just put the visor on today.

This I believe is the new tooling. What brand is the Flat Aluminum or Dull Silver available in.

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Well done.

Since I got back into the hobby 6 years ago I've built (and attempted to build) strictly cars, and semi tractors. What I have not attempted until now are 1:72nd scale aircraft. I've purchased 3 new kits. Two F16 Falcon's, and the next one up on my workbench is my favorite WWII aircraft (and has been since I was 6 or 7) the North American P-51D Mustang. I bought the Airfix P-51 yesterday at Hobby Lobby. 1:72nd was my preferred scale back in the 1970's when I was a yute and I would buy what was ever available at the Pathmark Supermarket in my hometown on Long Island. I am planning on painting her Krylon Short Cuts Chrome in the rattle can. I have been told maybe Tamiya AS12 for the bare aluminum finish. It will be built right out of the box. I have read it's a pretty straightforward build so I am looking forward to it. Will post as i build.

Thank you. In direct sunlight the Blue tinge will show up on the cab.

Paint is on. Cab is Rustoleum Gloss Solstice Blue. The frame is Rustoleum Gloss Brilliant Blue. Pretty good thus far.

So my BRBO 2022 bit the big one. Cleared her and then she fell to the ground still wet and got a bunch of debris on her. Now that sucked. However coming to the rescue is my replacement. The Revell USA Peterbilt 359. Already removed the sleeper ladder steps. Could use color suggestions.

Awesome

Roger, Good evening. Thank you. And away we go. First step is to get rid of the ladder steps. No pun intended. Color scheme TBD.

Well those of you that do not know I am a HUGE AC/DC Fan. One of my favorite songs they have done is Shot Down In Flames. That being said My 2022 KW W900 got shot down in flames yesterday afternoon. It was a nice day out so dopey (me) decided to clear coat the rig. Clear went on great. Then BAM!!! It fell onto the ground and got a lot of debris on it. So today I bought another Revell Peterbilt 359 to replace it. If it cannot be substituted for the build off I will just build it anyway for fun. A little bummed out but hey things happen.

Thank you. AITM (American Industrial Truck Models) has the Diamond T conversion kit. You just have to find a donor chassis and assorted parts.

Good morning all hope everyone is well. Just got this in a trade for the snowplow, and dump bed from the AMT L8000 snowplow. Plan is to build it as an Midwest day cab tractor. Have ideas for color scheme I just need the New Jersey winter weather to change to Spring and away we'll go. Will post pics as I go along. Regards, JerseeJerry
