Doi you have a web site?

Ryan? Who is this? I think he is on this forum.

Nice builds. Where did the headache rack on the Pete come from?

Good post. I've run across a few of those still on the odd server in the ether.

No missed opportunity. It was stated in an earlier Great Dane update that the the wheels from the Lonestar would be used on the reefer for cost reasons. There are excellent resin steel wheels available from a number of aftermarket suppliers for reasonable prices.

The trailer looks real! That's gonna really look good with the Prostar.

Nice work. Lets see the completed project.

Superb!

Moebius definitely, Italeri, for some reason lately they seem to be having problems issuing new kits. Revell just reconstituted both their US and German operations. Technically they are in a position to offer some new tools.

Moebius Great Dane Reefer and new Italeri Western Star?

Nice build. I think I heard somewhere they are going to reissue this kit.

Hey Anthony, how about this one. Minus the sleeper for you.

Agreed! And I would love to see AMT offer a new Western Star, Mack, Freightliner, Peterbilt, Kenworth, but that ain't happening!

I would say they are superior. Would you say a 40 year old car is equal to a car today or just different.

No, but a Russian modeler modified the Italeri 5964 hood to a 4900 hood. With some effort you could do the same. http://forum.autoinscale.com/viewtopic.php?id=1901

Italeri kits are far and away superior!

Great stuff, but I won't be holding my breath!

The Italeri Western Star, the 4900 and 5964 do need a rear cab panel that is not included in the kit to convert it to a day cab. Auslowe makes it. Kit Form Services offers it or possible Sourkraut has restocked it. http://sourkrautsmodeltrucks.com/?page_id=3&category=7&product_id=57

One step closer!

I've always thought that KWs were the styling leader at PACCAR. Their designs appeared more thought out. Peterbilt's seemed like an afterthought in their updating appearance. With the price of fuel, the future is areo!
