AMT saving on molds that’s why separate pieces to the cab.

But both the separate SD and DD kits have hollow tires.

Just opened mine. Surprised to see the tires are like the ones in the 1970’s that you have to cut the center out of them.

Just opened up the box. Everything was great until I discovered that the tires are like they were back in the 1970’s with that center portion that you have to cut out. That was never fun and figure it still isn’t fun.

Thanks I found it this morning. Thanks Hermann. Very helpful

Joe thanks. I currently live in Medford just outside Cherry Hill. Moved here about 9 years ago from the Freehold/Howell area. So Exit 5 or 4 of the beautiful New Jersey Tpke.

Joe I will be watching your build closely. Have the same kit I will be starting. Will also most likely do it as a CF unit although mine will be a dual drive tractor. Quick question about using the Gorilla Tape. I figure it would be the black tape ( I know there’s also a clear version). After you sanded the cab meeting seams did you just use the tape on the inside roof then glue the seams or vice versa?

Thanks again for showing me your cab assembly. I assume that the strip cannot be seen at all. Am I correct?

Thanks for the pictures and suggestions.

Hello all hope everyone’s well. Could use some tips on building the AMT White Freightliner. Going to be starting the 2n1 kit. Had originally contemplated doing is as a dual drive day cab. I had build the SD and the cab went together reasonably well. So now I may want to do it as a sleeper version. I know that the sides of the sleeper interior bucket have to be sanded down in order not to blow out the back wall of the cab. I am probably not going to be filling in the seam line. Also I had read somewhere on line recently that somebody had used Gorilla Tape to hold the cab together from the inside but don’t remember where I saw that. Thanks.

Very nice. That’s gonna be great.

How was the build on the Bison? I heard the fit on those was tricky.

Or the AMT 1/43rd scale TNT Kits (Dannon Yogurt, 7UP, KMart,,Sears,,Pete 359 wrecker, Western Express) they were cool.

I’d go for the Louisville first then probably the General after that.

Question would you build it as a tractor or build it as the dump truck?

Yes it has returned.

I'd have a better chance of striking oil in my front yard than successfully attempting to build a trailer like that. First time it had the mind of it's own rear it's ugly head I'd punt it.

Good morning all and hope all are well. Is anyone aware if there are plans to release a kit version of the 2019 Monster Energy Series Mustang? Would love to see Revell do one.

Nice kit. Had one back in 1977 not sure if I ever finished it. They generally build up nice. The ACar 9964 Dump Truck is out also. I am in the midst of a build of the White Western Star, and the Diamond Reo C116 both have the same cab and generally the same type frames and engines, suspensions as the A64B. Have fun I am looking forward to your progress.

Cab and sleeper mock up with left side fuel tanks attached. Right side tank goes on tonight then I will attach steps later during final touches. So far so good.

Thank you. Still a lot to do.

Sam, Thanks.

Very nicely done. I can almost hear it now. “Warning, Will Robinson, WARNING! You are TOO close to the airlock. UMM I mean loading dock”.

Nice job Mike. Mine is started but not close to even halfway yet.

Hood touched up. Pretty good I think.
