  1. Hello all and I hope everyone is well. As 2021 is fast approaching curious if anyone has brought up the subject of a 2021 BRBO as of yet?
  2. Thanks can’t wait to try it.
  3. Tom Hi hope all is well. So as I understand and get the job done right. Apply the tape across the top, and bottom of the glass. Then remove the red and carefully press into place inside the cab. Also is it easily removable in case I make a boo boo.
  4. Tom, Hi hope you're well. That tape is clear correct? The Red is just a backing?
  5. Thanks Tom I really appreciate the tips. I will follow what stated.
  6. Nice job Tom. I will be starting mine over the Winter and painting it in the Spring. Could use some tips on getting the frame/rear suspension completely straight, and the interior in the sleeper area where the shelving sits against the curtain, and getting glass in perfectly. If you can assist I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
  7. Thanks Tom. Where do you find that tape?
  8. As I plan out for supplies as this will be started in the Spring I will have questions. Want to do the tanks in a dull Aluminum shade. I know I will have to dechrome the tanks. However does anyone have a suggestion on a brand of spray paint for the job? I will also need suggestions on a product for dechroming parts. I usually use Easy Off in the Yellow can but am open to suggestions as well. As always i appreciate the help.
  9. Brian thanks. That looks great. I also read that Microscale Krystal Klear may do the trick. Along with Elmers or Canopy Cement. I know that the bigger issues straight frame, straight suspension, and getting the plumbing to fit properly under the cab are the bigger concerns. However in my case it's the smaller issues that bug me more. It's like well a compound fracture is the bigger concern. But the paper cut is more the nuisance. At least in my case it would be.
  10. It shifted, and then of course the glue got in the wrong spot.
  11. Hello hope everybody’s safe and healthy. Visited Ollie’s and Hobby Lobby today. Picked up the AMT K123 for $20.00 at Ollie’s. Also picked up some paint at Hobby Lobby. Testors Extreme Lacquer Icy Blue for the cab and Krylon Regal Blue for the frame. I had this kit before and it gave me fits with some issues (rear axles mating to the springs, getting the frame straight, and getting the glass in place properly). So if anyone can share some tips I’d appreciate it.
  12. Hello all hope everyone has been safe and well through the pandemic. I haven't posted since the Winter on any progress for my BRBO 2020 Peterbilt 359. Attached are some pictures of my progress up to this point. Installed a Cummins 350 in place of the kit provided Caterpillar powerplant. Made a winter front out of vinyl packaging from a comforter set that I painted in white. Also used AMT KW K123 baby Moon hubcaps as air horn covers. I painted the CB antenna's Testors light blue. Cab is Model Master Dark Sea Blue. The frame is Red. Used the kit provided decals. This may be the best truck I've ever built. Will need some final touches but I'm pretty pleased with it.
  13. Good morning all hope everyone is well. I found these on Rocketfin's website this morning under coming soon.
  14. Doesn't the side view of the C-900 box also have what appears to be the front wheel on the drive axle as well? Or am I mistaken?
  15. Looking good so far. Will be watching.
