My first LNT-8000, finished this one in 2016 with Tamiya Camel Yellow and Bright Red. Pretty "plain Jane" but it was a fun build.

hey Brad, I've found these sources for both, as well as eBay. Much cheaper on on eBay, as you'll pay hefty shipping cost if you're in the US – these come form Australia: https://www.auslowe.com.au/shop/category/day-cab-panel-/391 Auslowe products also on the ACE website: http://ace-radio-controlled-models.shoplightspeed.com/auslowe-auslowe-western-star-constellation-5964ss.html http://ace-radio-controlled-models.shoplightspeed.com/auslowe-auslowe-western-star-day-cab-1-24.html cheers Steve

The only one I know of is the Auslowe #MB15 one. I just got one to replace a DM600 rear crossmember with (it's 1/24 scale but should hopefully fit).

Mo'Luminum truck parts also has some - http://moluminum-com.3dcartstores.com/Rubber-Tires_c_1.html

WIP... Peterbilt "White Pass" Tri-axle Alaskan Hauler. I was both shocked and delighted finding this one for ONLY $56 in a local hobby shop, so I had to pick it up Given the kits known inaccuracies with the "pit style" 353 fenders, I'm opting for the round fenders so the hood will open (and minus the bull bar). Features: 36" sleeper, 2-hole budd wheels from "Mo'Luminum", White Pass (circa 1982) dry transfer decals from Ozark Miniatures, and photo etched 359 dashboard from Czech Truck Model. Photo credit to Doug Harper on the Western Star pic for reference. thanks for looking! Steve

Does anyone know where to find a White 4000 resin conversion hood these days? Been searching high and low with no luck. I have a Road Boss just hanging out waiting for one. thanks in advance, Steve

According to Rocketfin.com, there are two more trucks coming in 2019: http://www.rocketfin.com/heavy_truck_models.cfm

If you don't have true Cummins beige, my go-to is Tamiya's Wooden Deck Tan (TS-68). I find it's not as dark as other "tan" colored paint.

I just posted this yesterday in Truck News & Reviews – hope it helps… According to Rocketfin.com, there are a few kits coming up for release: http://www.rocketfin.com/heavy_truck_models.cfm Great Dane Extendable Flatbed Trailer - Due 2018 Wilson Livestock Van Trailer - Due 2018 Mack DM800 - Due 2018 Peerless Logging Trailer - Due 2018 Italeri Freightliner FLD120 - Due 2018 The Autocar A64B, Contruction Bulldozer and Coca-Cola trailer just hit the market a short while ago.

WOW, this is great, nice work! The weathering job against the orange paint is just awesome. Love the extra detail work too!!

Just in time for spring, is this "spring green" 1/24 Western Star 5964 Constellation. Painted with Tamiya Candy Lime Green. A pretty straight forward build with no frills. Just added bare metal foil, reflective tape and added fender mud guards. Had some challenges with the hood lining up (which was surprising, given the precision of these Italeri kits).

Not sure if this has been already posted, but just saw this: Revell Kenworth K-100 Aerodyne - due in 2017 http://www.rocketfin.com/heavy_truck_models.cfm

The only logical next step R2 has would be to re-issue the Mack Cruiseliner COE… wishful thinking I suppose.

Looks like this is confirmed—if the box art is accurate—it will be the "Matlack" version of the R685ST kit. This is on the Round2 website as of today Thurs. 3/23. http://round2corp.com/product/mack-r685st-semi-tractor/ "The Kats at AMT have listened to what truck modelers want to see again, and here’s a top selection – the Mack R685ST tractor! This super-detailed big rig has all the great parts truck modelers want, including the wheel options that have been left out of previous releases! It has been spruced up with expanded and improved decals, too! It features fantastic Retro Deluxe™ vintage packaging to boot. Get truckin’ with AMT!"

That would also be confirmed here on Rocketfin: http://www.rocketfin.com/heavy_truck_models.cfm

You may have some luck digging through this archive of conversion and detailing articles. I have this to be a gold mine (go to source) of information on many of my projects: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/ CM07 May 1991 Detroit 8V92N & 8V92TA http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm07_may_1991_detro/

Hi all, not sure if this has been posted already but just saw this – Round2 releasing the White Freightliner Single-Drive (AMT 1004): http://round2corp.com/product/white-freightliner-single-drive-tractor/ - Steve

Excited to see where this one goes - very ambitious, and unique subject matter!

Thanks all, I'm genuinely humbled by all the positive comments – it was a fun build! And thank you Russell for posting it on the "Movin' On" Facebook page. Awesome. Steve

Hi all, This completed KW represents Will Chandler's 1970 K-123 from the "In Tandem" pilot. Not a whole lot of references/resources available since it only had a brief cameo in the beginning of the movie. The build includes 5 hole budds, modified fuel tanks (no steps / centered fill fuel cap), single exhaust, ugly roof A/C and "California Lines" decals from the Movin' On decal set. Steve

Thanks for all the great comments! I really appreciate the feedback, and hope it sparked some motivation / inspiration for your own builds.

This Kenny was finally finished up in Sept 2015 – features an extended chassis, Revell double sleeper, Modeltruckin' "Yosemite" decals. Paint theme completed with Dupli-color Cordova (root beer) Brown.
