  1. Excellent start to an interesting project. You would never see pre drilled holes on a North American heavy truck tractor chassis. Every frame is drilled to the users specifications only. I look forward to the updates.
  2. You think? With all of this pissing and moaning?
  3. Looks like the trailer could be worked with. New Ray has a 1/24th scale Peterbilt, lowboy combo that seems to be similar in design. Maybe a scale down version of this same mold even. I have seen modelers really make it look good. BTW, this appears to be an exact 1/16th scale, while the Bruder and Tamiya trucks are 1/14th scale. Expect the side by side size comparisons to be difference
  4. I have. In fact the typical post starts with: "I don't build semi trucks, but..."
  5. I also agree. The flaws are unexceptable. Moebius should cancel this project and stop making pick up truck models altogether.
  6. There's only so much personality you can put in a bunch of flat sheet metal. Quote Which is why I'm am so perplexed at you guy's obsession with pick up cars.
  7. Neway ARD air suspension: http://www.huskidrive.com/files/downloads/neway_ard_manual.pdf
  8. The semi trailer kits are going to be re-issued.
  9. Another truck thread stated that the Moebius van trailers are going to be reissued. Fantastic! I still would like to have a new tool spread axle flatbed kit.
  10. Great! Those will never go out of style.
  11. Any news on a new big truck or trailer kit?
  12. Nice start. Leave those cancer sticks alone.
  13. Looks like you are using the Auslowe Ford fuel tanks. I plan on using them on a project too.
  14. Start from the top of this thread and re-read it until you get to the end of it.
  15. Tim Alhborn was quoted as saying that he thought the W925 wouldn't be brought back, due to it being modified to the T600. So far as I know, Tim Alhborn hasn't worked for any model company. I could be wrong. And any information he has, even though it may be reliable is third person account. I would tend to believe the person who worked 30 years as the liaison between IH and Ertl and was actually responsible for bringing the Ertl 4070A kit to reality. If he said is gone, I take him at his word.
  16. Possibly a copyright issue. Although I think they were both Hendrickson suspensions. The Ertl Great Dane van has been reissued at least once, but the reefer unit hasn't. Definitely a copyright issue.
