Your attention to details is top notch in this build. I really like the texture on the engine wiring hoses. Do you mind informing where you sourced them?

Western Star 4900 FA plow truck
cifenet replied to BK9300's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Brian, Great process and I can already see the truck taking its shape to be massively beautiful at the end. Good work~ -
Build this over the weekend as a "quick, easy, out of box, no frills, see how it goes" type of build. This was an easy kit for me and went quite well. It was also my first trailer build and I did not try to do any fancy stuff. Built it out of box except I ended up adding some brake hoses and marker lights receive lens covers (clear resin). The only major problem I faced was the ride height where I had to raise the height of the rear trailer wheels so that this trailer sits parallel when attached to a truck. I double checked instructions to see if I miss anything obvious, but couldn't figure out why I was having the ride height issue (I tried multiple trucks to confirm that the trailer was sitting too low). Things I liked: Easy build and the overall fit is decent Made no effort to correct or improve, but the final kit still turned out to be nice. When attached, turns your truck into something "more" meaningful. It is big! Things I didn't like: The ride height had to be corrected. Painting was somewhat of an issue as my spray booth was too small for the trailer. Decals were very thick and all of my decal softener solutions wouldn't work. Need bigger space to display Next time, I might try to get a different set of fleet decals to make things more interesting.

Western Star 4900 FA plow truck
cifenet replied to BK9300's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Brian, You don’t need those PE parts, I know you could have scratch built better ones yourself for sure. 😉 See how people start demanding more?? Haha. Nonetheless, just awesome details you are putting into this plow. Somehow I am hoping you keep track of how many hours you spent building this vehicle. It would be an interesting information when you finish the build; it should give us some idea on the effort and time required to produce this type of quality work~ -
Perfect! I mean everything is perfect!! You have done an incredible work finishing this model, I really enjoyed looking at these photos.

Revell Peterbilt 359 Conventional
cifenet replied to Brenton's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
The truck has a good stance and the color choice is also nice here. Great progress so far. I think Alclad is spray only so you wont get a good result without an air brush system. The decals looked like they attached properly too! As people mentioned if softner is used, it is important to not touch when the fluid is doing its magic. You may be able to press (only press) using a clean cotton swap to help conform the surface while the decals are wet from the solution though. -
