Me too same thing. I hope we can still load direct after Saturday

Brian I was wondering if you can contact Dave and get a Long Nose and just shorten it? He has one in stock and if there’s none he will cast you one.

Brian looking very good with what you got to working with. There’s one of these Jimmys by my house if you need some reference pics. I would be more that happy to go take some for you.

Thanks Vince for the complement. Updates soon to follow.

Wheels are painted and I fixed the suspension where it doesn’t have the “Spread Axle” look

Now that’s something to be proud of great job Brian! Love that interior keep it going

This is a all Slyvan models rig truck and trailer with Athearn front wheels. Decals were Custom made by me. Truck was completed September 29, 2007 looks like

Very cool build one of its kind

Thanks David I’ve built a lot of them in the day can’t do it much anymore because of my eyes and hands but I had a good run. I have pictures of 485 1/87 trucks I’ve built over 10yr period.

Ken very clean build you are one of the few I’ve seen to get that hood to lay down where it’s suppose to be very nice

Classy looking rig I like those ????? tires

Cool looking truck you did a great job

Great finish! Something you can be proud of

Very impressive turned out nice

Jim, Jeff, and Vince thanks for the complements I worked on the interior tonight decided to paint the inside doors dash seats and floor pan

Thanks guys heres a small update

Thanks Ken I must agreed that’s the one I enjoy the most hope you come along for the ride

Sorry guys I’m going have to take a break on the 1/87 for a good while its really messing with my hands and eyes. Anyway back to the bench. I got this from Dave (AITM) last year and I’ve decided to start it.I painted the Cab Allis Chamlers Orange. I plan on this pulling a dump trailer. The Engine will not be seen but I painted it close to Mack gray as I could. Have to get a few more parts to add and I got some built also tonight. I’m going to make some new tank brackets. I’m using the DM frame to get the vintage parts to build this and using parts from other kits. Enjoy the pics

Thanks for the complement guys

Vince I painted this truck over 20yrs ago it’s still on my layout though I can’t recall what was the paint

Very nice the AC is my favorite chain drive Mack

Thanks for the complement guys. I’m sorry I just can build these much anymore

Thanks i’ve been building Kbri Kits for over 20 years and other German kits as you mentioned thanks for the help those german kits are very nice and you’re right they’re highly detailed The trailer might be a lowboy or a flat I don’t know just yet I have to go through my stash and figure out what I’m going to use I still have several of the KBRI heavy haul kits left. Thanks Ronnie for the complement yes it will have a dual winch I have a picture of it in the parts layout

Here one I built back in the Fall of 2007.The truck is a old Ivers Engineering with updated wheels, tires and tanks the trailer was a Athearn RTR. Enjoy the pics

Thanks Sa The chassis is done thought I would set the cab on it just to see how things look. I maybe putting a different battery box set up on it
