Casey, very nice looking job, keep us posted

Casey lol, thats almost too clean to be from Pa. Very nice truck

very nice work Casey

I am now usin the BMF paper, I'm not sure what it was, I was using the testors paper, clear came out fine but the white wouldnt print right, 3 different paper orders and multiple printers (mine, my uncles etc...) so I switched over and now have decals goin out left and right......... still buying testors tho, for the sealer haha

Thanks Tim, I thought it was a 79 cuz my cousin has one looks the same, never really thought to check the details Ima run to my basement and check lol Northern Cambria, ahh ok I used to deliver up there once in a while I might be out of town over the weekend and into the week so if you throw it on ebay go for it, I dont want you to lose out on cash if ya still have it when I get back Ill hit ya up

btw that whole sell the body thing was a joke, id never get rid of mine nor expect anyone else to do so..... im still thinkin of crazy stuff to do with mine

tis a 379, I am honestly not sure if there is a conversion for it, Tim might know (Im sure there is I just didnt notice)............. wanna sell the wrecker body?????

that is one of the best I have seen, very nice

welp Im hopin by the time I get it finished my digital camera is back from being fixed...... popped out 4 trucks last month and they were out the door with no pictures :cry:

I have finally gone crazy! I am going to open the whole drivers side of the kit I will fill it with scratchbuilt and cast detail parts. I think I am nutz just for cutting open such a great kit OOB!!!!!!!!!! Crosses fingers and hopes for the best!

Id like to see the 1/16th scale Pete 359 and Kw 900 make a comeback, but thats just me

Its kinda crappy when you build a kit for someone, they tell you their budget, can't find the kit so you are forced to go on ebay and end up spending their budget on the kit alone. Then comes the deaded "ok do I tell them it will cost them more or do I throw in the cost of paint and assembly for nothing"........ not to mention my budget isn't the greatest either. I wish AMT would bring back a lot of the old issue kits, more people ask about the old ALF's now then they did a few years ago when they weren't so hard to find, nor costing upwards of $100 a piece. Something has got to give or I will have nothing to keep me occupied while still having a good time working on.

Brian and Mark, Thank you both for your input, I will try both ideas my brother wants a kid like the one for myself so I will use both techniques. Thanks a bunch, Josh

Ok this made a friend of mine chuckle, but I have never painted a model white before, usually just a coat of white primer before a deep rich color was applied. I have a kit that I made decals for, and want to paint the kit white. I have heard things both good and bad about white paint and clear coats. So here is my question, what would be the proper clear coat to apply to white paint without having that awful "yellow haze" effect I have heard about? Any info on this good or bad would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Josh

1st off I am new to this site. 2nd that truck is very sharp looking. I ordered my kit last week. I have been building models since I was 13, mostly for friends or family but I recently started building outside of that circle. I am working on my own little ficticious department and have the kits laid out as I want themand started on the bodies I have to scratchbuild soon as I get pics I will post them. Quick question, can anyone help me with a few ideas, I grew up on a ALF Century Serires pumper with the flared cab...... I'd like to see if anyone had done any mods to the box kit from ERTL to make it look right.
