  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  16. 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

  21. 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
  22. 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

  24. Vince I put it in the description what the chassis and running gear was it’s a 1/87 Russian truck kit that I bought from Romania back in 2008. Everything in the pic besides the cab and the winch came with that truck. I don’t even know if they still sell the truck . Thanks for the complement
