  1. LOL! There is one in evey bunch.
  2. Very nice. Can you make hay out of Legos?
  3. The Super NWD was available from the late 1960s to the late 1970s in various iterations. For the very observant, the Ertl unit has a flaw that otherwise detracts from the most detailed reefer compressor replica ever. The control panel is on the curb side. It should actually be on the driver side.
  4. Thats my photo, thats my bed sheet, thats my model kit! KFS offered a
  5. Nice. One of the better drop deck projects of have seen. Would be nicer with trailer hose connections.
  6. Looks nice. Can you can them up to 1/25 - 1/24th scale?
  7. Nice! It needs to be weathered a bit and taken outside and photographed in a realistic setting.
  8. True this. Moebius was in Atlanta earlier this year at a model event and they had some kits for good prices. But finding Moebius kits for reasonable prices on the net is not difficult.
  9. Not surprised. I would expect the Lonestar to sell more than the Prostar. There are few true truck model builders, at least in the US. In my estimation, the Lonestar sold more because in many car model builder's minds it is looks like a 1930's whatever car that can be modified into some weird hot rod or used as a back drop to some race car hauler. Basically used with some type of race car. The Prostar is not a chromed-up tractor, like your typical Pete or KW. When you see them on the roads, they are generally fleet prime movers. Not very glamors. I hope Moebius continues to offer new big rig truck subjects in the future, but...
  10. Both would be great kits in 1/24th or 1/25th scale. Both would be huge and expensive, which would probably rule out many modelers who refuse to spend three figures on a model kit. For the Komatsu, most likely the Japaneses manufactures would do this. Tamiya does an historic Komatsu dozer and Kyosho does a 1/50th scale RC D575A. Maybe even Trumpeter could do a 1/25th scale Komatsu dozer or excavator. They did the American Lafrance pumper which is excellent and reasonably priced.
  11. I've been looking and I can seem to find any.
  12. Great find. With a little work they could be made to look realistic.
  13. I guess you're right, I don't build anything. Now get the last word, since it's killing you to do so.
  14. Good! More for the people that want to pay to play.
  15. There will always be those that can play.
  16. http://www.kitformservices.com/ KFS will offer any discontinued resin kit if he gets a minimum of 50 non refundable deposits for any one subject. Who is serious?
  17. Howard [KFS} will reintroduce any discontinued resin kit if there is enough interests in it for him to get 50 firm, deposited commitments for them. The ball is your court!

  19. Who offers super singles like these?
  20. Less of a joke, more facetious.
