You make some nice trucks! You scratch-build some too, don't you? I'm beginning to like those trailer side skirts.

Thanks. That's one of the flaws on these Snap Kits. The tires are not completely straight. The front ones fit much better than the back.

That's why Sean. They are very good decals though and look better in person. Ben, the little trailer is a Maisto brand. It was blue and I painted it black. I printed the mural on my printer. The tractor was also painted and I used automotive gold stripes. And cheap too. I wanted to use the AMT W925 but was too expensive. Thank you guys for the good comments. Bad ones also welcome.

Thank you guys! That's how the decals came out and why I don't really want to call it the Snowman truck but at least a close copy. As I said at the beginning "not a real accurate replica but close enough".

Not a real accurate replica but close enough. Made out of a Revell Aerodyne Kenworth (Snap Kit). Bumper courtesy of Sean (Old Buckaroo) . Thank you Sean. I can say decals are also courtesy of Jerry from Model Truckin. I messed up the first set and they helped me out greatly with another set. Thank you Jerry. Still working on final details.

I like the red one a lot. Is that a dually?

Good idea KJ.

That dually looks even better than the four wheeler. Love big pick ups.

Original 70's. I've built two of these already, one in 1979 and one recently. Why did I buy a third one?

It worked for me and no thinning or anything.

Outstanding job! I have this one still shrink-wrapped. Those changes you made are all well done. I would leave the visor as it is now.

Lot of very nice details! Great looking rig.

Thank you James.

Are there cabin fans in 1/25 scale? Like the ones seen in the old trucks.

The shortened wheelbase makes a big difference. Looks really good. Great paint job.

Great job! I saw many of those growing up. My father was a cabinet maker and there were all sizes of those in his shop. By the way, I have an old rusted hand saw and I been planning in "restoring" it for a while.

Good info Ben, Thanks. I painted it black already. So it's good to hear that.

The Walmart near me had a lot of kits and even had spray Testors paints. They still have a few kits but no more paints. Why?, because people opened the sprays and painted all over the shelves.

This photo is from the American Industrial Truck Models website. I bought one of these. Very nice headache rack. The thickness is 9 mm. The center section is aprox 4 mm. Height is 58 mm not measuring the support. Width is 72 mm

What looks difficult to do is the rounded front red corner. You got to paint red inside the black stripes.

You got all the right colors, including the green interiors, gold engine. Really like it. If I may suggest, I would paint the Bulldogs gold for an all American engine and transmission.

Ok Sean, time for an update.

This will be a BJ and the Bear version.

Thanks Ben. Let me know if Brad gives you an answer. So far, I'm going with black unless I can find that "other" color.

Been wanting to use some of those on my kits but I'm not that good. They look really good.
