I tried the link to your web page but can not find it, can you give a better link might be interested in the wheels/tires

I went to Henderson store this afternoon. Restock on El Camino, Poly .glass Pontiac and Lincoln. Restock of the Scout 11 but at regular price. I did buy AMT 1978 Ford pick up FIRESTONE pick up $7.49. I don't remember if it was in stock last week but if it was it was at regular retail.

I picked up Scout 2, Suburban, Mountain Goat and Chevy El Camino Gear Hustler for $7.49 and 2 Mack fire truck kits For $4.99.at Henderson, NV. Hobby Lobby today. There sere several cars kit left but I don't do cars.

The kit was the tractor only no limber or howitzer.

Tamiya 1/35 scale Canadian Ford gun tractor. I wanted a more mustard yellow paint for WW 2 Africa use but settled for the camo brown color.. The model was built stock except for the 2 jerry can holders on the rear. I purchased them from Shapeways and they are 2 small for Tamiya jerry cans. I built the storage rails from spruce from the kit. The sand channels were purchased from Shapeways.

You are correct about the trailer. I looked at the MAZ 537 kit but liked the traditional truck tractor better.

I bought the trailer assembled form EBAY. I bought the tractor from EBAY as a kit under the AVD name. Both can be purchased as completed model from Start Scale Models. I had some issues with broken and missing parts. The cab and the frame are metal the rest of the parts are plastic. The parts tress were to long to fit in box so the were broken before putting into the box. Some of the small parts were missing and both side steps were broken. I tried to match the trailer color and used USAF olive drab.

Thanks I will take the trailer with me to try to match up to lid of can color. How about Testors Camo green color ? Can not tell form label or lid.

I bought an AVD model kit of a Russian KAMAZ 255 heavy duty truck tractor. I have a Russian heavy haul trailer already assembled and painted in a dark green paint color. I do not have an air brush so I am looking for a dark green flat spray color. I can find olive drab but need something that olive drab. Any ideas ?

I found this book at Barnes and Noble for $10 -20%. Shows trucks from begin to 2009

I have both resin parts and Shapways printed parts to use on a truck project. I have been advised to use acrylic primer with the resin parts? If I use acrylic primer can I use enamel or lacquer for a top coat ? Thanks in advance

I am going to order letters to complete a MACK truck project from SHAPEWAYS. Should the letters be primed with a light color primer before applying the MOLOTOW chrome or applied direct to the letters ?

The First Gear I.H. is quite heavy and I would think it will eventually collapse the tires of the lowboy. I don not have an assembled AMT lowboy but will the F.G. dozer be a bit wide for the bed ?

I ordered decals July 21 got notice July 29 order shipped.

I had a license from IH trucks to build 1/50 scale IH 5600i diecast with Conrad in Germany. This model was replaced by the 7000 series. I found this resin kit on EBAY and received it July 27. Who ever did the casting did a great job the frame is straight and cab is square. There is 1 mirror missing but I have extras from Conrad. This appears to have been a copy of the cement mixer as it has water tanks for the side of the frame. Tire seems to be in round so now to figure out how to build it, demi tractor maybe.

I wanted to build the Renwal wrecker other than in olive drab color. I found a photo of a later military wrecker that had been rehabbed in civilian life. I bought resin tires from supplier on Ebay, built boom support, added light on under side of boom support, added warning light on pole, filled in front bumper with deck plate and moved vise to the front.

I used to sell some of the Bruder models, they are heavy duty plastic toys that border on being low grade replica models. I toured their factory in Furth, Germany and it looked like a electronics factory. Highly automated and works dressed in white suits. Many of the parts were installed by robots, A good family run company.

In September 1980I attended armorers school at Ruger's New Port New Hampshire plant. We were invited to Mr. Ruger's hunting preserve near New Port and while shooting I spotted this car and took photos. Mr. Ruger had this car built and here is a history about the car. https://www.si.com/vault/1970/08/03/610900/too-racy-for-a-rolls-too-mod-for-a-duesenberg-the-ruger-may-be-your-car

rings back old memories of Fire Ball Roberts. Man years ago I did a 1960 (?) Pontiac black and gold with white #22 on it, I think it was an AMT kit that had parts to mark into a race car. Wonderful job on your Ford

I have one of these waiting to be assembled your post has given me idea to finish mine

I found this Renwal military wrecker kit on Ebay $36.00 delivered.

Thanks I have a diecast truck I will need to mask much of and I have the Tamiya tape but it is narrow need a tape to cover more area. I will try the method mentioned above

I saw an ad today for GREEN FROG masking tape for delicate items. Has anyone used it on models ?
