Yes, airbrushes are the way to go. But they do require a bit of skill and at first, trial and error. No need to be intimidated. Do get a quality airbrush. It's worth it in the long run. I use an Iwata Eclipse.

Krylon and Duplicolor offer some inexpensive accurate paints that can be used for commercial equipment models. Krylon Farm Implement Paints Duplicolor Engine Enamel Duplicolor Perfect Match

I guess they listened.

Hey dude, i want those decals in 1/32nd scale!

Youn think those 1/87th scale (HO) models are nice, check out this site. http://www.1-87vehicles.org/

So I guess AITM has the Marmon stuff on deck.

Supposedly Marks bought Frank Gortsema's molds and was going to reintroduce them. He is a member on this board.

I would prefer Italeri. First off, I prefer 1/24th scale. It is a bit larger than 1/25th and I think Italeri kits are still some of the best made. Second, Daimler sold Chrysler around 2005. Haven't you been listening? The US and Canadian governments had to bail them out. (No political comments please) Fiat bought a major ownership in Chrysler about 2 years ago. AMT/Round 2 still has a license with Freightliner, since Freightliner is a Daimler subsidiary and White Freightliner and Western Star are trademarks of Daimler, but don't hold your breath for them to offer any new tooling. Furthermore, White itself is a trademark of Volvo. How did that happen? Volvo purchased the White trademark when they purchased the White/GMC trademark back in the late 1980s This means that Volvo, Reanult, Mack and White are today all the same company! Bottom line, It is more than likely Italeri will offer the modern Freightliner brands.

I think it is mostly likely that Italeri will offer a Cascadia or some sort of Freightliner. Thery have a license from Diamler Benz.

We could use: Photo etch Placard Frames Photo etch Lonestar and Prostar scripts, correct photo etch hood mirrors and brackets, authentic photo etch International muffler guards, accurate resin GPS dome, accurate 5 hole disc wheels for that "fleet" look, Current Thermo King and Carrier Transcold reefer compressors. Get Microscale to offer modern 1/25th, 1/24th scale truck and trailer graphics... I could go on!

You say I'm a Prophet? i would rather be a profit!

It never waned to those that are truly big rig model builders, not casual fans.

Dave, welcome news. Thermo King or Carrier unit?

Oh ye of little faith!

The possibilities!

You and me both, but it seems their are no new truck announcements at ihobby this year.

An old quarry dump body.

The kits have just been brought to our attention and already we have a bunch of complaining. I guess for some it's only natural.

They were offered in 1/87th scale a few years back.

Thank you. I will look them up.

Take a valium Ben.

Given up on the IH castings?

So what's the hold up?
