Gator thanks.

Interior brush painted last night with craft acrylics. Not bad so far but I need to touch up some areas. It's been fun thus far.

Thanks gentlemen

JC, That is an awesome job. I like what you did and brings me back. I do have a question in regard to the Tom McEwen (God rest his soul) dragster. Did you use the kits supplied front tires? Or did you purchase aftermarket ones? Thanks. Once again great great job.

Hello all hope everyone is well. I am looking for very good quality waterslide flames decals for some 1950's era cars I am working on. If anyone can suggest where to purchase I would appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing that looks like a great idea. May try it.

I think the 762 was the 761 replacement and built from 1974/75 to 1977 when Brockway went out of business.

Hey Jeff if you could that’d be great. Thanks.

If I don't use them I will let you know. Got the Moebius set but have to check the fit etc.

Looks really nice Dave. I got the paint on the cab and hood over the weekend.

Weathered the wheels and tires with acrylics I've been using. Also added the rear deck plate.

Thanks Gator. I did the weathering for the most part last night and added the company livery to the doors of the tractor. The engine is next and also the radiator and plumbing, and perhaps some more weathering as well. Will post pics when that is completed.

Thanks for the replies. This one I got is interesting in the following: Heritage Series new to this kit. The wheels/tires seem to fit much better. The rubber compound seems firmer. But I’ll see how I like the Moebius set. i be done both with the lacquer as far as no primer or primer. One coat without primer is okay. I like to use primer for handling imperfections.

Brenden, Depends I guess on a few variables. Such as the type of climate you live in? Where I am in NJ humidity is always a major concern. The only thing I know about the weather in South Dakota it's generally cold, and snowy. Additionally do you use use an airbrush, or rattle can's? I have an airbrush but have never used it. Because I am part as stubborn as a mule, part I don't have a compressor, part I have to clean it, part I have been using rattle cans since the early 1970's. Next would be which paint medium are you comfortable with. Good old enamel? Acrylic's? Lacquers? I use either lacquer (Tamiya, Testor's) or enamel (Rustoleum, Krylon, Testor's) which is dependent on what finish do I want. Work trucks (fleet unit's) I generally use enamel's. For owner operator type units (Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner), or classic car's I like lacquers. Hope this helps you somewhat.

Yes I agree that is a new box graphic I believe. This is gonna be a fun kit to build. I have ordered the Moebius wheel and tire set. Thinking white cab and hood, blue frame and fenders. Maybe a stripe set from Model Truckin'. Just need to score a front visor and I'm good.

Hello everyone hope all are well. Just picked this up at Hobby Lobby last night. Plans are to paint the cab white and the fenders and the frame blue. My son picked out the blue. It’s Testors DeJa Blue One Coat lacquer. The only drawback is the tires/wheels will most likely replace them.

Brenden I think those are from the Ford Short Hauler kit. I could be wrong though.

Wow that's a great job. The modeling future is bright in your household. Job well done.

Thanks. Got them off the kit sheet I think.

Hello all. I am in the midst of my early to mid 1970's AMT Peterbilt 352 "Pacemaker". Building her as an East Coast O/O unit leased to a company. I have been working on her on and off since early last year. I get the itch out she comes and I work on her. Then when I have no time I put her away.

Assembled the wheels last night. Test fitting her this morning. She's getting there. Will paint the engine, and transmission tonight and work on the interior. Done by next week? Perhaps.

Thanks Brian.

Brian thanks. I wanted it to be different. I will post as I finish sections.

Tim that's really a nice job. Where I grew up in Long Island NY the White 4000's and 9000's were very prevalent. Used especially by the grocery carriers. This brings back a lot of memories and is a definite inspiration for me as I build my Western Star. Once again very well done. Bravo!!!

Thanks. I'm going with a red frame and aluminum tanks. Maybe cab stripes maybe not. And need to pick a livery from some sheets I have at home. Would like to headache rack it but not sure where to obtain one. Thanks again for the reply.
