    Send him an email, he has them. I think the three spokes are 15". I mastered a couple different 18" two hole wheels that he sells as well. His email should be on the website.

    These are the outriggers I mastered and Jamie sells.

    Here's how the wheels look now.

    That might be a Rogers or a Talbert lowboy? I mastered this little heavy duty, three spoke wheel in 1/25 specifically for lowboy trailers like that. They have since been "modernized" with a tubless wheel ring and much better tires. (the ones in grey resin and the updated ones) I think the tube type wheel ring is still an option for them though.You can purchase them from Jamie Rahmoeller at www.moluminum.com He has outriggers I mastered as well.

    I think I forgot to post this here. I recently finished this built. Kit is straight out of the box other that the real polished aluminum fuel tanks, polished aluminum stack upper pipes and a Detail Master gauge set on the dash. The main chassis (other than the wheels, fuel tanks and stacks) and the engine were built back in the mid eighties. At that time, I did not know that IH painted their engines red. I had custom mixed the Alpine green, thinking that was the color it was supposed to be.

    These kits are out now. I just ordered three from Tower Hobbies this morning.

    My favorite of that series of kits is the Rick Doberton Pontiac J2000 pro street! I built one exactly like the real one and it turned out great! Wish I wouldn't have sold it. I have three more though. Just need to build another one.

    Just stumbled across this again. Six of the MPC Zingers kits were modeled after the full size vehicles. I'm pretty sure the Little Red Zinger and the 57 Chevy Zinger never had full size versions.

    That flip front monster tow truck is out right now.
  11. Ben
    Tower has them listed at $42.99, same price as all the other new kits.

    I feel like so much less of a hoarder now! That's nuts!

    That is a Sterrsafe That is a Steersafe setup. it is used so that if the truck blows a front tire, it will help the driver maintain control of the truck. I've installed quite a few of them!

    That's some beautiful work!

    Ok, Disregard, Hobby Lobby has a case made to display a football that will work perfectly.
  17. Ben
    Does anyone know where I can find one of these Testors Jumbo display cases that were available a few years ago?

    The only Kenworth T2000 Was made by Kuenn McClinton back on. the 90's. He produced a short run of them. He also made a 1/24 Peterbilt 387, a 1/24 Freightliner Columbia and a 1/24 Freightliner Century. These were just conversion kits that required the full chassis, engine and wheels from a donor kit. Kuenn had sent these cab conversion kits to Bobby Griffin to recast them but after a few were made the production was halted.

    The tree with the bumper, grill, etc. is the tree that is bad in all five of my kits. Be sure to take it out of the plastic bag to check it. I first looked at mine while still in the bag and they looked fine. Then someone said you have to remove it from the bad to see it.

    As of this morning, both sellers refunded the tax that was charged. I'll be sure to watch for this on any future purchases!!! Really nice using the Buy it now for something listed at $66.00 and getting a receipt saying you just paid $74.00!
  22. Ben
    I thought that's what it was but when I checked on Google, It said 6. something. I buy my groceries online from walmart and they only charge me 6.5% on my order? Not sure if it's because it's online?
  23. Ben
    So far, one out of the two sellers that charged me tax (the more expensive auction) has refunded the tax they charged me. The second auction was only 2.07 in tax so no big deal.
  24. Ben
    The fees are ridiculous!! I just sold a trailer kit for 202.50 and Ebay and Paypal charged me about 27.00 in fees! They have to be making millions every day!
  25. Ben
    I just found this on Google! They're NOT supposed to be charging out of state tax!! Beware!!! http://www.ebay.com/gds/BEWARE-OF-SELLERS-COLLECTING-OUT-OF-STATE-SALES-TAX-/10000000002035448/g.html
