Thanks Jerry. Interior colors were Rustoleum metallic champagne bronze and Rustoleum satin saphire. I don't believe these trucks ever came with a blue interior but I wanted it. Artistic license?

Beautiful work. This is a great kit.

Very nice. I remember when you couldn't go anywhere without seeing one of these on the road. Haven't seen one in years.

You'll like this kit. It can be assembled rather than having to "build" it. This is the best part, how they did the interior. I wish they woulda done like that on every truck kit. Saves a buttload of time and masking tape. This may or may not be a bother to anyone else but I kinda wish the exhaust system had been a few more pieces. I mean just if the stacks were separate from the jungle gym that holds them up. It would be easier to paint it that way. I can't say it's the best truck kit ever since I haven't built all of them but it's by far the best truck kit I have done. Happy modeling.

I would be very happy with that build too. Beautiful workhorse there.

Excellent paint work. I would likely end up in a rubber room if I tried a paint job like that. Great job all around.

You're getting a nice fleet built there. Some beautiful scratch building.

That is some good looking "junk" Nothing wrong with that build. I have one of these in the pile that I'll get around to one of these days.

Enamel reducer works well also. And for the super cheap route mineral spirits will work. I painted the top on this Skyliner mixing 3 or 4 different Testors colors and thinned with $2/gallon(at the time) mineral spirits. Polishes up pretty good.

Nice work there. I have both of these kits in the pile, got me thinking.

Turned out nice. I see this kit at Hobby Lobby but have yet to pic one up.

Very nice. Thanks.

I believe that is the first one of these I have seen with a top chop. Looks great. More pics please.

Looks nice. These Revell snappers are fun.

Not on road, more like end of the road..... Out for a bicycle ride and happened to see this at the junkyard right near the crusher. Looked to still have a few usable parts.

That's some cool scratch building there. Very nice.

Very nice. I never knew there was a modern day gullwing Mercedes.

Now that's different. Looks great.

Very nice. And I agree with others, that diorama/photo booth is way cool.

Calling this one done. A decent kit but there a few design flaws. The rear doors, and side door for that matter only open up half way. It should have an overhead door on it. Overall it went together without too much fuss except for a bit of warpage on a few pieces. Reefer unit with opening doors was a bit fiddly. Ended up with a bit of tiger stripe in the paint but luckily it doesn't stand out that much indoors. I goes good with that CO 4070. Also kind of odd they put the fuel tank on the right side. It seems every one I have seen is always on left side. Same with the hand crank for the landing gear. Built out of box except for decal sheet from Model truckin. As always comments/critiques welcome. Thanks for looking. Doug.

What a beast. That turned out nice. Looks like you need another shelf for that fleet.

I think that is what I am gonna do myself. I tried the heated up bb's to no avail. It was a thought for a upcoming build I am planning. We do get some vicious hail storms around these parts.

Very nice. That is a whole bunch of hours there. That's gonna take up some major shelf space.

Beautiful build there. Those 70s trucks were the best kinda like the 70s funny cars. I always felt Pete ruined the front of the 359 when they went to the square headlights. Never did look right to me.

What a beast. Looks great. I always knew there was another mixer kit, just couldn't place it. Will look good with lowboy.
