DRIPTROIT 71

Nice job! I like daycab cabovers! I like the single headlights too!

Nice looking rig!

You’ve done it again! Another beautiful job on these smaller scale trucks! Excellent work!

I like these old trucks. They use to be everywhere. Excellent work on this one! I hate the mirrors the most too!

I really like how this one turned out! I’ve wanted to build one of these for a while, but I don’t think that I could pull it off like you have. Great work!!

Looks great! Nice work!

You nailed this one! I really like the paint job! Excellent work all around!

Nice T600

You’ve done it again! Your shrink ray in action! Excellent work as always!

That is beauty! Excellent work!

This is going to be cool!

I have just cut them out of the Ertl IH 4200 or the 4300 kit.

I like it! Nice job!

Nice looking Freightliner!

Beautiful! I’m partial though. I worked at a 76 station for a lot of years.

Looks Awesome! I like what you have come up with here! Excellent work!

I have been wanting one of these myself and after seeing yours finished, it makes me want one even more. You did an excellent job on this one! The finished rig looks awesome! You sure have a load there! Excellent work!!!

You did an excellent job on this one! It looks great!!

Great looking fleet!! Awesome idea with the trailer! I may have to use that idea myself! Excellent work on all!! That first Freightliner looks very similar to build by former member that went by “Old Buckaroo.” I always liked that truck as well!

The great thing about building semi trucks is that you can put whatever engine that you want in it. Remember the truck that you’re building could have been a glider kit and any engine could be used. There could also have been an engine change. There should be no real size difference between the 71 and the 92 series, the only difference is if you add the turbo. I put a turbo in my K123 to represent an 8v-71t, and I didn’t have any issues with the fit. I would think that the Peterbilt would be the same. Regardless, modifications can be pretty easily made. I squeezed a 3406 Cat into an LNT 9000 Ford.

I don’t see a link.

Does anyone offer a decent 318 poly yet?

I have 3 sets of White Road Commander 2 stripe decals up for trade. One set of blue and two sets of green. These fit the KFS cab. I will probably never use them as I only had one cab. I had purchased extras in case I damaged them putting them on. They are very strong decals as they didn’t tear, but they were a bit of a challenge to work with. I’m willing to trade for truck stuff, preferably in the US. Let me know if you are interested. The truck is not up for trade, it is only shown for example.

Thanks Brian! It is just silver lacquer spray paint. It was either Napa brand or Duplicolor.

Thanks for the comments guys! I have been able to get back and spend a little time on this one over the past couple of days.
