Finally got back to some serious building this past fall after a year and a half hiatus and managed to finish a few. This one is an old T520 kit built mostly out of box, changed to single exhaust, Double Take Replicas grill and cabin fans and a couple scratchbuilt items. Trailer is the repopped Fruehauf van with resin reefer and fuel tank.

Nicely done!

I like to do the same thing on mine, unless I can round up a set from a snap Pete or KW. I just like the look of the open horns better. Using the inner tube for the fender flares was a great idea. I've tried shaping plastic but never quite liked the way they turned out. Will definitely have to try that method.

Those are some nice looking trucks. It's amazing what ideas people come up with for those snap kits. I don't think I'd want to drive either one of those 2 around NYC though!

Now that is one nice Freightliner! Like to see the rest of it!

Excellent work on this A car! Butterfly hood and drilled out horns are a nice touch.

Super sharp old school classic! Really like your paint work! I sure do miss seeing those trucks on the road.

That is very nice! I always wanted to build that truck but the copy of "In Tandem" I have is so grainy I can't make out most of the details. This one is really cool!

Wow, that is some amazing scratch building and weathering!!

Excellent work, nice color combination!

Now that's a sharp combo! Jim

Here's a couple W900's and a 359 from several years ago. sorry, screwed up in photobucket and copied wrong pic of Monfort KW.

Very impressive GMC Pavel!! Your attention to the small details is fantastic! Jim

Those are some beautiful Pete's so far!! I only have 1 completed 359 so far. Jim

Excellent work! Jim

Excellent work!! Jim

Fine looking Bulldog, looks even better with the lift axle Jim

That K100 is looking beautiful, Ken! Jim

Nice build(s)!! Is that the resin conversion N series from Bavaria or somewhere over there? They looked like great castings. Jim

That's a nice 352 Ken! Did you scratch the grab handles or are they the ones from the snap Pete? Jim

Now that is sharp! Jim

Here's a few from the last 20 years. Jim

Amazing work Bill! Jim

That is looking sharp Dennis! The colors are sweet! Are you going to paint the reefer to match? Jim
