Going with this visor, ok maybe a bit more shaping but it’s pretty close. Finish up body work and to paint.

Thank you, got long ways to go. Just can’t build a box stock truck, it’s a weakness.

After 4 tries, I finally got a visor that is sorta close to the early 5600. Will need to thin the face and add a bigger radius to the front edge, then build the two braces near the center. Fits cab well but just looks to bulky yet

Wow, outstanding build and detail, impressive

Just ordered the two sets of longest frame rails you have listed and the Ford Cabover. Glad to see you making truck parts. May have to lengthen them, best glue?

Yes sir, interested, what would be a good donor kit?

Good info, how has the trailer been building up? I was thinking of picking up a couple of those kits.

Thanks, I will get some ordered for upcoming projects. Any future plans to make 1/2 inch or 9/16 tall frame , 430 long, rails for heavy duty trucks suck as logging trucks, etc?

What is the frame rail height? I am so glad to see you guys adding truck stuff, well done.

Very nice build

Great detail, the effort makes a big difference, well done

Nicely done, good colors

I just recently reorganized my work area and now after looking at the work areas you guys have, now I have more ideas to organize. It’s a never ending quest. Curious, does anyone have a work space in a dedicated shed? I have been giving thought to this idea.

Well done

Wow, really nice build

So cool, thanks for sharing

Great discussion guys

When resin kits become available, I tend to grab them, add to my collection of “ I will build it someday” I grabbed this resin cab from AIM to be built as a curbside, before he shut down his business. This is a picture , not my build of this resin kit

Barry, typically I will use a donor kit for the rolling frame sometimes updating to something more correct for the engine and axles. I have also just scratch built frame rails and find the correct suspension/axles, motor and transmission using companies like Auslowe or ST Supply for those parts. https://www.auslowe.com.au/shop/category/trailer-suspension-kits/374 look thru the WIP big rigs and heavy equipment section and you can see some of the resin cab builds. There are builders here who do amazing work with this type of building.

check out this this shop but he doesn’t do the earlier models. We lost AIM who use to do many of the older trucks. It would be outstanding to see some new kits produced for sure. https://globalscalemodeltrucks.com/collections/frontpage?page=1

Good luck and keep us posted, it’s fun.

Color looks good

It’s a fun kit and yes it has some issues. Built this kit last year.

Lovin the detail
