I say real. Looks like autoglass in the window.

Great paint man! Looks good. That took some time.

This is the first model that I have built in about 4 years. I decided to put the Chevelles and Integras down for a while and build a few trucks.
This was quite the refresher course for me haha. Some of the paint schemes are unorthodox, but that's just the car fanatic in me coming out. I was psyched to see how detailed the model's the cummins TT set up was. I was going for red accents on the kit hence the red bolts and the red turbine half housing. I was not able to do the flip up wind deflector because the mold wasn't filled all the way to some of the frame is missing.
I can see why Revell took this off the line for a while, the molds must be getting really old because some of the parts where pretty shoddy and needed a lot of TLC to get them looking realist. For the life of me I was not able to get the exhaust downpipe to line up with the midpipe for the stacks, but it's pretty well hidden.
All in all this was a blast to build, I've loved trucks (Pete's especially) and tractors since I was a little kid. I wish they had more models out there thought! If I win the lotto I am starting a model company that builds just trucks and construction tractors.
Anyways the pics:

My next project will be a 385 with a scratch built roll off (thanks Tim for the pointers).

My daily driver, 2005 WRX Wagon
My other one, '72 Nova L6, that unfortunately I am going to have to sell. I am then going to use the money to buy a Ninja 250R (55-75mpg) because I can't afford to drive the Scooby every day (approx $200 a month in gas thanks to premium being $5.00 here in CA.)
