stitchdup

Another tuff looking truck, will be watching

Got my attention, this oughta be good

Cool choice, Its gonna be a good build off

Cool, liking the paint scheme.

Nice, I built one of these when I was a kid.

sweet build

Mine is from a two week period about 25 years ago. It seemed that every time I went out on my skateboard, I fell off my skateboard and got some pretty impressive slams, which burst the same group of stitches reapetedly hence stitchdup. Isn't that modem sound the current dance/techno music?

Remember to save the clear lids from some of the chocs too, it works well for making new glass and some of it doesn't fog when superglue is used

There's a pretty nice looking scania tow truck that often goes on the boat I work on, always with one of the local buses as they send us the buses that are near finished their working lives. Its pretty impressive how well one of the drivers can handle it, reversing it with a bus still atached down the ramp thats maybe 2ft wider than it, the other driver just drives the buses on seperately

Cool choice, I've been eyeing up some of the kfs transkits so will be watching this.

Looking forward to watching the rebuild

Oh yeah, gonna enjoy this

Cool, it looks like a neat truck

Sweet choice, I nearly got one of these for the build so will be watching for tips and hints

Wow, I didn't expect to see this age of truck in the build off. Nice choice

Neat, going to enjoy watching all these macks coming together

Nice choice, these mack's have a tough look to them

Sweet, heavy haulers are a bit special. They use similar trailers to move windmills near me

Neat plan, the firetruck/cat will make a sweet rig

Love the op's post, stories like this have that little special extra when they are connected to the items already. Where I live in scotland we call them scramblers instead of dir bikes but they are really popular. A couple of local farmers and one of the building companies have built tracks that are completely free to use (at your own risk due to insurance) and there is an annual beach race that attracts some of the top british and european riders. The dirt bike brands you guys get in the usa are mostly different to those we use although my sister has restored a triumph cub that had been modified for dirt, back to original road spec but I think I would have left it in dirt as it told a story. I think there was a racer from here too in the late 80s/early 90s called roy twatt (an unfortunate name in the uk(

I find the revell glue a little runnier than the humbrol and also slower setting. To keep my needle clean i have a thin diameter bit of florist wire in the tube so when it clogs I just remove the wire and the clog comes out with it. I prefer the humbrol glue for small parts due to its being thicker but revell is easier to find for me these days

You are correct sir, according to wikipedia it was greece that manufactured them from ckd kits but with a lot of local parts. That anadol coupe is a kinda pretty little car, reminds me of an alfa in some ways though it was probably more reliable than that era of alfa

turkey got the old 50s british vauxhall dies if i remember right, it looks an awful lot like a tri 5 chevy. I think they got some other british dies too but used russian engines possibly.

I know what you mean, I bought a hasegawa pick up to combine with the panel then decided it was too nice to cut up, but since then I got a couple of started kits that I dont feel too bad cutting up

I'll be getting a couple of those vans, it'll save me filling the windows on the versions I've got already
