great cabover builds on here ! nice job on the pete ken !

very nice work ! looks great !

beautiful !

looking good !

wow ! very nice work !

I cut and sectioned the axle . amt uses a bigger tire and wheel on the freightliner, so if using smaller (revell) pay attention to the blocks on the bottom of the front springs where the axle attaches. I usually end up shaving them down a bit to get the right sit. (I don't like a big gap between the wheel opening and the top of the tire) . test fit is a must. hope this helps.

nice work !

welcome to the forum ! another mainer here !

ha ha my dad always said that about the detriots . he taught me : "keep your foot right into it, they love it " then at a fuel stop I would go to check the oil and was reaching for the dipstick he said : "no need of that ! just throw a gallon in it !"

thanks for all the kind comments guys !

how true !

why thank you so much for that kind comment Douglas ! that's what makes it all worth building models ! I am glad I found this place . with so many great builds and talent on here, I'm proud to be a part of the team ! thanks gator !

thanks gator !

thanks guys ! my dad had a nice b67 back in the day. I got to drive it around the yard and on local roads. he showed me how to shift twin stick. it helps to have been around real trucks, then models come out better because you know what they really look like.

that's one sweet looking D-R ! great work !

you are welcome sir !

nice looking fleet ! can't wait to see your progress on this ! poor girl stuck in the mud like that. glad to hear she wasn't damaged looks like the load is ok too !

thanks tom ! yea coe's are my favorites too ! someday I would like to build a early bubble nose freightliner, been in my head for years !

found this packed in an old box today while I was looking for some tools to assemble my new leaf blower. I forgot about it, been packed away since probably 1998. I remember using automotive lacquer "Fuji blue" sprayed thru my airbrush looks like the only parts missing is one air horn and one cab grab handle. I think I'll just clean it up and put it back together.

thanks Pat ! does this help ? thanks tom ! thanks William !

thanks all !

thanks carl !
