I use mostly flat colors. They are much easier to apply. I then put two or three coats of clear. For dark colors I use Testors High Gloss enamel. For lighter colors I use Testors Wet Look lacquer or just Clear. I don't buff or sand. If I did the results would be better. The truck you see in my Avatar was done with flat green.

You do it online. And get the parts number and description from their PDF instructions. http://www.revell.com/support/parts-request-2.php

I just received one today also, along with a fith wheel I requested a week ago for one of my trucks, free of charge. They have great customer service. Makes you want to keep buying their kits.

You hit a jackpot here. You planing on selling some? I can use a Great Dane Dry Van trailer.

yes

double post. sorry

Anybody knows anything about Sean (Old Buckaroo).? Haven't "seen" him here since April.

Any updates Matthew? I found this old post by J Quinn.

The more I see this kits, the more I like them. I've done like four of these. One suggestion if I may, you can remove the sprue around the sleeper step.

I use brake fluid all the time.

When was this kit first released?

I never heard of washing after painting. Seems to me another coat of color will be needed. If you clear now, the spots might still be visible.

It's a great deal. It has free shipping!

For the mechanic. Never seen one in real life. I like this funny car Scott.

This looks like a real life dragster!

I bet this is one of your best projects because you did it with your grandson. And it looks good too. Do you have the fith wheel? I have a spare one if you need it.

Auto World 1/18 scale.

James thanks for the link. That set looks good.

Man you are multitasking! I'll follow this build. Coincidentally I pulled the same kit from my stash last night. Gatorfan69 (Mack) posted a Rubber Duck build last night and that inspired to do one using this kit. Not 100% accurate but close.

I always have a hard time with black but not you. It looks great. Makes me want to see "Convoy" again.

Yes

The wheels are actually good. The problem is the tires. Sometimes they are hard to make them look straight. And they lack the lettering detail.
