James Bond was a trucker…yes!! Totally awesome work.

Well, this was a fast follow along for me. I just posted on your wip and here it’s already done. ? This kit turned out great. It looks real in some of those photos. Great work.

Nice project and a must follow for all Fire Truck lovers here. I wish the modeling companies produced more new 1/24 Fire related models. I sure would love to have a 1/24 New York City Fire Truck in cabinet. Btw, nice work space. Completely jealous over here lol.

Glad you started this. I have visited their website few time to see their complete kits. One of these days I just need to get over the sticker shock and purchase one of their kits. From what they show on their website and what your wip clearly is showing is that these kits are worth every penny. So, I’ll sure to follow along. Keep up the good work!

Nicely done. Love those Euro fire trucks.

Cifenet, thanks again for the information. Glad to hear the Hobby Lobby model pads will work just fine. Another reason to visit them again ? Have a blessed Easter!

Thank you for answering my questions above. What brand polishing pad are you using? I have to still add these to my modeling tools and there are many to choose from. Again, TIA.

Simply superb. You have an eye for detail painting. I love those shiny looking panels you painted and polished…a trick I need to learn. Few questions for you if you don’t mind ? Are you painting out of can or airbrush? Are you polishing with those Tamiya compounds between each layer of paint? in one of the photos above you wrote in red text letters “wash, rinse, repeat” what do you mean by this process? Is it part of polishing? Thank you for sharing your great build. I am glad I saw it ?

This was nice loved all those PE detail sets you used. I need to grab similar items. Looks awesome.

Now that’s a beautiful truck. Cannot wait to see how your skills at work on this. Don’t be shy about taking photos and posting ?

You sure seem to grab some unique subject matter. This another cool example of such behavior. Bravo!

I hate to say this but y’all can close this thread after my post cause the best dog in the world is coming right up… ?

Sorry to hear about the problems you had with this but I gotta say “i love me that 9000.” It’s a shame they don’t manufacture this truck anymore. Ford had a great looking rig.

Appreciate the offer Steve. I will keep that in mind. So, what’s next?

Beautiful work Steve. I have the same kit so I will sure to read your full build thread and pick up all the tips I can about it. Thanks for sharing!

Hope y’all have a blessed day.

Thank you for your kind offer.

Guys, thanks for your input and I will look into the outfits y’all suggested. I figure if I am going to build a nascar then it might as well be unique ?

Warren, thanks for the info about what you have encountered in your build. Looks like I will have my work cut out when starting mine. I will pull out my kit and check to see all parts there. Btw, can you share a link to Tech manual? Thanks and keep up the good work.

Guys, I am not up and up with NASCAR models and it’s news. So, I will like to ask if any decal manufacturers have made BB 68 decals for LGBcoin.io in 1/24-1/25? TIA

Nice work Warren. I have the same kit that I ordered directly couple of years back also. I have not looked through the kit carefully to see what is correct and what isn’t. However, I did notice the wheels/tires will need attention. Also, good to know that you found issues within instructions. I will follow along to see how this goes. Good luck. Mike

What size or those resin nuts? Hard to see them in the pic above. TIA.

Nice work. I have a guy in the church that owns T600A and I have been trying to find this kit for a reasonable price so I can build one like his and surprise him. I wish AMT would just reissue it already. They done with many of the other trucks. Don’t know what’s the holdup.

Thanks Gary, that is exactly what I needed to see. Looking through your pics I see you used 2 Auslow sets to complete the axles/springs. Also, auslow sets include metal rod for axles rod to give extra strength…nice touch. I don’t think I have seen anyone else offer that. To bad about KFS closing doors they had some good stuff. I was told their molds were sold to various businesses so they will be produced again down the road. Again, thank you ? so much for your help. Keep on Truckin.
