As of late December, 2020, I was told the FB trailer kit was on the boat.

A Western Star would be nice. Both Freightliner and WS share similar components. A KW T680 would be nice too. Used by a lot of fleets and O/Os. How many Ford pick ups do you need?

It's a scale model. You aren't going to actually drive it. ? Can you name any big rig model we are "drowning in", other than Peterbilt after Peterbilt subject?

I have no idea why a model company would waste their valuable capitol making new tooling for a truck subject that is ancient unless it is an historical subject when there have been so many interesting truck subjects today. Trucks did not stop evolving since the 1970s. I vote for a Freightliner Cascadia Evolution, the most popular truck tractor on the American roads today. BTW, we do need more trailer kits.

I'll believe it when I see it!

Nice.

Reissue.

Fantastic!

Gimmicks!

Does it come with a tractor?

Fantastic!

Nice.

With detail like this, photo etch disc brakes would look nice.

One thing about A&N, if you buy it, they will build it.

I have several resin 1/16 scale engines from an Australian company that went defunct years ago. I've been told told that they were not accurate. However, i plan to use them any way in future projects .

Possibly mid October.

Nice! Following.

Great subject matter. FLD112 will look fantastic. You didn't post in the beginning of your thread the reference truck you want to replicate. What actually truck are you modeling?

Those reissued AMT kits aren't that much less than first issue Moebius and Italeri kits. $25 to $30 for the 50 year old reissues, $45 to $50 for Moebius and Italeri kits. In fact, the renamed Italeri, AMT Reefer trailer and Peterbuilt kits cost as much as original Italeri kits. Ironically, the biggest beef I heard with the Italeri reefer trailer when it first came out in the 1990s was that it was grossly inaccurate and nobody was going to buy it. Now that the label has been replaced with AMT instead of Italeri, I have heard none of that. Do I sense a bit of jingoism among the Model Cars Magazine crowd?

LOL! I would rather hope for modern new kits instead of antiqued old kits.
