Nice show of cars! The worst part, is that I like them all too and wish I had time to build each one!

I have bought decals from SpotModel but, never a model kit. The decals arrived quickly and well packed. They are say that they will have the tractor Oct. 15th http://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=51348&language=en

Mega mud truck

Jstfrnds,I am really enjoying your watching your build! How did you cut the tires? I amazed by how clean you got the cuts and how even the joint is! Keep it up! Mark -
Get knee deep in another model, and the next new model will be shipped!

I had my cab off and on about 6 times, (which is very hard on paint) and it seemed like the dash area may have been what was hitting the inside of the body. I lowered the dash but, it did not help. I then trimmed the front outside edges of the interior but, that did not help either. I have heard that the window cause the fit problem but, it was not clear to me. I have one more F350 to build and I am going to do a lot of trial fit before I paint anything. I like your work so far Ghoodii I can't wait to see the finished product!

My custom Chevy Van

clean build! -
I tried to put one on the F350 Meng wheel and it was too tight, the tire did not seal around the edges of the rim like the stock tires did. However, it seemed that the wheel could possibly be sanded down in the center to fix the problem. Fireball model works suggested that the tires can be trimmed to fit other wheels, you will have to decided for yourself on that.

MENG 1/24 Ford F350 Super Duty Crew Cab: Sneak Peek Pics!
sirbuildalot replied to Gregg's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I have just started working on my kit, and I like it so far. Did you notice that the instructions story text mentioned both the Dually and Single tire rear axle trucks? I get the feeling that it was a prelude to their next kit. Mark -
MENG 1/24 Ford F350 Super Duty Crew Cab: Sneak Peek Pics!
sirbuildalot replied to Gregg's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I tried this method recently, and I am still on the fence about this method.... First, paint the tank green to the level that you want the coolant. Then paint the whole resevoir with a thin white primer such as Tamiya brand, or duplicolor. The primer will let the green show through making a transparent effect. See what you think, Mark -

sirbuildalot replied to Gregg's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
Hey Gregg, thanks for the review so far! What diecast kit did the bed come from? Do you think it looks correct in length, and width? -
I recently purchased an item from West Virginia and the Ebay software made a prediction of a 3 day shipping time. In my opinion, it would take a miracle to arrive that quickly. Two days later, actual shipping was going to take 5 days. Reality, and estimated shipping are no where close.

I am in no hurry. I am working on other projects at the moment. Hopefully, when the F-350 arrives I will be ready to start on it. Also, I have bought from HobbyEasy a couple of other times with no problems.

1/25 Revell Mustang 5.0 LX Drag Racer
sirbuildalot replied to bad0210's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
At the big box store, models are sold in the Toy section. So are they toys, or highly accurate replicas? I want the model to look nice and if possible accurate too. -
I really appreciate the step by step photos! Nice progress!
-
The price is set by Meng take it or leave it. I would like it to cost less but, it looks like a nice kit and I will probably get one.

Nicely done! Very inspiring!
