What everyone else said. So happy they are bringing this kit back. Can't wait to get one.

That turned out real nice. Gotta love the vague at best AMT instruction sheets. I'll have to grab one of these next time it rolls around. I recently built a Revell K100. Also a very nice kit aside from the major flash on every part.

Beautiful job on that. You really nailed that black paint, smooth and straight as can be. I'll bet it would be very difficult to get a good photo of that out in the sunlight. Nice job on your photography also.

Nice. You really captured that workhorse look, and not overdone on the weathering. Great job all around.

That looks really good. I have a few ideas to work with now. That's a nice IH you built there. Is that tarp scratch built or a resin piece. I was thinking of doing that on my trailer.

That looks nice. Especially like the look of the exhaust system. Good weathering all around. Just needs about 800 scale pounds of mud on it??. I'm still trying to get up the nerve to do some weathering on a truck.

Got my order from Scenes Unlimited today. Budd wheels for that KW mixer whenever it arrives. Will have 6 left for that Ford short hauler when I get around to it. Looks like good quality parts.

A couple I built a couple years back. AMT Pete with 1 in frame stretch and tanks from a Freightliner cabover. KW is Revell K100 the last reissue. KW is a nice kit aside from heavy flash on every part. Only build issue was the steer axle, had to make king pin bushings/ pins out of brass so tires would stand up straight. Box stock except for decals from Model Truckin.

Made more forward progress on this ongoing project. Finally got it painted. Done with that 98 cent spray bomb from Home Depot. These weren't built to be show winners, just keep it from rusting. Still have a way to go on it but I like how it's looking so far. Still have to do something for a cylinder, kit supplied unit is now too short. This is the most ambitious model project I have ever attempted, I am totally happy with how it's looking so far. It has been a fun build but will be happy to get it behind me..... Hope you like...

Thanks Helmut. If I remember right some of these AMT truck kits had 2 piece tires that were really bad. Tires seem to be a weak link with a lot of models.

Thanks Brian. This is a bit of a tricky kit, but I was happy with how it came out.

This is the first truck model I did after getting back into the hobby, to make up for the one I butchered when I was young 'un. I'm happy with it. Built box stock.

Way cool. I can picture that carrying a load of hay bales.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Nice. I especially the two West Pac birds.

Very nice. You're a much faster builder than I am. I don't think I could do that in a whole year.

Woo hoo!!!! Been hoping for one of these for years. Actually I'll be good for 2 of them. I built one back in the 70s and remember it going together very nice. That's one I wish I hadn't blown apart with fireworks.......

That looks great. It gets easier after 4 or 5 times. Do a 50s car and after that it wont seem so bad. Sometimes I get it good the first try and other times I gotta do it over a few times. Eventually you'll wonder how you ever got by without it.

Would like to see a good 73-79 Ford Truck kit. Preferably a factory Hi Boy version. Also a modern day big rig of some sort.. A garbage packer would be nice also.

That's a great looking bunch. Really like that logger. Like others, I wish Round2 would scare up the tooling for that CO4070.

I know the feeling. Once you tear into it you're in deep. It's like, what did I do? That is a huge improvement and will be well worth the effort when finished. Looks like you're off to a good start here, gonna have to follow this build.

I finally made a bit of progress on this. Got the cross members in the subframe and fabbed up the landing gear. Of all the pics I found of these, no two were the same as far as the landing gear setup went, so I guess any way you make it is accurate. I'm thinking a lot of these got busted up on the job and got rebuilt in the field however the fabricator saw fit. That's my story and I'm stickin' with it....... So now "all" I have to do is suspension/ brakes and tailgate assembly and should be able to send it over to paint. Should be a bit more straightforward from here, as always comments and suggestions welcome.

I built this about 1.5 yrs ago. Box stock except for decals from Model truckin and headlight buckets that were in a Pete 352 kit. Never did like the square headlights.

Beautiful work there.
