  1. Looks great!! I like the camo!!
  2. Early 92 series engines used the old style valve covers. The AMT GMC General kit also has a 92 without turbo. AMT kits depict the early style valve covers. Later 71 series can be found with 92 style valve covers. Much like some of the variations of the small block Chevrolet, the inside is what is different. The 71 is 71 cubic inches per cylinder, the 92 is 92 cubic inches per cylinder. If you want it to be a 71 paint it Alpine green, (or any color for that matter) and it's a 71. If you want it to be a 92, it's a 92, but you can't paint it yellow and make it a Cat.
  3. Definitely has a nice look to it! Looking forward to more!
  4. Looks great! Great job on the weathering!
  5. Thanks for the kind words, but my work is just trial and error, heavy on the error. You've chosen a great subject. I'm sure that it will be great!
  6. Very nice! I like it! Great work!! What's the chance of seeing more pictures of this one????
  7. Looks Great!! But I like cartoons too!
  8. Looks like a cool project!!! I'll be looking forward to seeing more of this one!! Just a note: the AMT directions tell you to put the cab latches on upside down and the front wheel stance is a little wide if built stock. Ready for some progress pictures!
  9. Thanks guys! I wonder if any of the old kits are like this?
  10. Is the "C" in the Mack letters messed up in all the Cruiseliner kits, or just some. I didn't notice it until I put it on the truck? I looked at the out of box review in the "Truck kits news and reviews' and the "C" is the same as this one. This one isn't broken, it is cast this way. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this?
