Thanks Gary I appreciate it. Getting closer to being done

Worked on the Pete this afternoon. De-Chromed the Fifths wheel and made it pivot. Then I Hand painted the Plate,Carriage, and the Fifth Wheel with Tamiya Red. More updates soon. While I was at it I decided to hand paint the whole frame to give it a fresh look since it’s been years since it’s been painted.

Jürgen thanks for the nice complement. Yes it’s like building the 1/25 scale but smaller. It does varies in some details like the 1/25 scale but there’s enough here to still make a good looking model. Thanks for stopping by.

Had some bench time tonight. Put a set of Don Mills mirrors on added the intake hose to the breather Put the deck plate on. I dull coated the Mudflaps but the paint kinda crows feet on me think I’m going to just leave it alone at this point. I also painted the Fog Lights as well. Next is working on the Fifth wheel so it will pivot and adding the Air Horns, Cab lights and painting the intake hose.

Your welcome. I’m just waiting for your next 1/32 truck. I’m sure it will turn out great.

.

I think Hayes is my favorite also

Very nice clean builds. My favorite is the Kenworth T-600 you built.

That is always tempting at this point. Ken the toolboxes behind the cab is a nice touch.

Rolling Chassis looks great

If it has a Gold Bulldog on the Hood it’s all Mack. They started this 1967-1992 from 1992-2014 they were plated polished.

Those wheels look good definitely getting a east coast vibe.

Your welcome Ken. Chassis starting to come together and sitting on your shop floor looks pretty cool too.

Nice looking builds Jeff. Thanks for sharing

Jeff I’m talking “Real” 1.1 trucks. I don’t understand your reply 😂

Exactly. Bill’s Kenworth has one and I owned a 1968 C-114 Diamond Reo that also had it.

That would work

You better install Dual Pyrometer one for each bank for that Big DD. 😂

That is the bad part about high end detailing the paint makes most of it disappear.

Keep him on the straight and narrow ok.

Yes I was afraid of that. This is Seth thread so I’ll let him send you the measurements.

A eye catcher for sure.

Nice job on this kit. Over the years I’ve collected several for my O Scale layout and built a couple. I like how your diorama is seems kinda like the way Revell did a cardboard displayed of the model when it debuted back in 1955. Great job on the diorama especially it being your first. Be watching for more.
