After many months away from building, I picked up where I left off with this one. Chassis is well along, I think I have a final fit for the cab but want to check a few things. I have a few more things to add to the chassis before it goes off to paint but it's been nice getting back into it.

Either a hydro tank or headache rack for chain binders......

Very nice! You should have gone with the 366, a little less power but much more reliable! LOL!

Looking good!

Excellent work, as usual! Weathering is great, just a touch, not too much.

Very well done!

X2, I have one on order and have been concerned the level of fine detail might be lacking.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Good job, looks great!

X2! Can't say it any better

I spend way too much time watching Highway Thru Hell.......sigh......

Started back on this build, the chassis is coming along. I used the IH 4300 chassis and front suspension, rear suspension (and section of frame rail) came from the Freightliner SD. Finally got the tank to sit level (pic makes it look off kilter). Working on the DD6V71 from Gary Wallace (RIP) and the next big thing is to get the cab to sit in the right place on the frame. Wheels and tires are from the General kit.

Well done, that looks like the real one!

Maybe a box for an air bag set-up?

looks great, what scale is it?

Excellent work, especially the metallic paints.

They were discontinued a few years ago. Only colors left are hot pink and transparent rose. Could make some interesting combinations, I've been playing with layering the metallic pearls over different base colors as they seem to let some of the base color come thru.

Looks good, nice to see someone else using the Aztek paints. Not sure if I have the green but I've got most everything else....for now.

Very well done! I may have to get one of these....

I got this for a load when I was working on my Maine Locomotive and Machine Mack. I later found a more suitable load so I decided to build this anyway. Only took about 6 hours, including the paint. One of the first "snap" kits, it actually surprized me how easily it went together.

I used the AMT 3 in 1 kit. I believe it is current, or was in the very recent past.

Out of the box build, I wanted something quick and easy for a 2-day build. Paint is Testor's Aztek Acrylics, florescent yellow under gold pearl metallic.

Looks great. Must get terrible mileage with the aerodynamics of a brick.

There were a few things that bugged me about my recent Maine Locomotive and Machine Mack R688ST build. So, I got the correct grill and fixed a couple of other small "annoyances" along with adding a tool box to the back deck. This is a new build, not a re-do of the original.

X2!
