Kostas Parchas

I like the color. You have done great job on the headache rack and the front bumper. Kostas.

I am sure that the camera tricks the color, but this combo is magic and it has this nostalgia feeling... Very nice rig. Kostas.

Dennis, Your Kenny is very nice. I like the stripes, I like the color of the frame, I like the working roof air deflector.... Looking forward to see this one done. Kostas.

Joshua, Bying kits directly from the distributor and not just one at the time makes the kit price lower. For example ITALERI packs 8 kits per box, so for me the latest order is 5 boxes X 8 pieces = 40 kits. It is easyer for the distributor to give me bigger discount if I order to buy a box than 3 or 4 kits. Please also note that the cooperation through the years between me and the distributor also counts to get better price. Kostas.

I am not the trade guy, In mean that I wouldn't canibalise a model because I never know what the future brings. All my models so far are in closed boxes and sprues are in plastic bags. Excuse me. Think also that the shiping cost from Greece to US could be close enough to buy a new kit. Kostas.

Tim, Its always confusing trying to count others models from pictures. You count the same models twice, please note that in some of the pictures the kits are stashed on the north wall and in other pictures they are stashed on the east wall. I have 31 377s, 18 378 Long haulers & 6 378 (the blue one #740) and waiting for 24 378 long haulers to come. Kostas.

Hello Jim B, Thank you for your coments, I wish I could finish the truck room tonight. 30 377s & 16 378s are not too many, ask Tim how many he has. BTW, Tim how many ITALERI PETERBILT kit you have there with you?????????? Greetings, Kostas.

Hey Tim, I had ordered 40 Peterbilt Long haulers and I recieved just 16. I am bying kits directly from the distributor here in Greece and he told me that both ITALERI 377A/E & 378 Long Hauler kits are very popular nowdays (thats maybe because of you and your builds [this is what I thought when he told me that LOL LOL LOL]). Anyway while we are writing to each other ITALERI production line is very busy with PETERBILT kits. The distributor told me that I will recieve my other 24 kits on July. BTW, if I am correct the PETERRBILT 377A/E kit was first released back in 1994 and its ITALERI's best seller kit and this makes me wonder why it took them toooooo long to produse a newer PETERBILT???? Greetings, Kostas.

Hello @ all, I managed to take some photos of the progress so far of the truck room redo. It is really hard work because all this things that allready are in there and I had (have, as still in progress) to remove many times from here to there. I hope that it will be finished soon.... So here is the workbench, these are my trucks and tools, and these are some photo of the room as it is right now, Greetings, Kostas.

He may wanted to jake brake but accidently he pused the turbo boost button!!!! lol lol Kostas.

Thank youn for the tip about the round chiken lights on the breathers and that shore/hotel power connection. It is a very sharp detail. About the flatbed I meant the 53ft, the one sitting next to you loaded with those huge tyres.... I am watching the TMC build from the first moment when it was first showed from you about a year or so ago and I though that the 53ft trailer was for this truck... Greetigns, Kostas.

Nice one Tim!!! It is very nice and I like all the details, the decals and of course the color. Just 2 questions, #1 what is that small balck thing above the passenger fuel tank, #2 how did you make the vertical chiken lights in the front off the breathers. Ah.. I have one more question, where is the flatbed???? Kostas.

Eating miles veteran!!! lol. This is going to be sweet. Kostas.

Nice ol beauty!!! I like the color and all the bits here and there. What is made from the trailer cables hoses? Kostas.

Nice large car!!!! I like the bumper, the headlights, the rear feeders..... Put it back under the glass, black and dirt is very bad combo lol Kostas.

Nice and clean build! Kostas.

Dispite the fact that I personaly don't like the painted fuel tanks and breathers, your Peterbilt is coming ery nice!!! The color is amazing and the frame is as long as it should be for a nice custom large car. Keep the good work coming!! I am watching this build. Kostas.

Nice one Tiking, I like all the details in & out of the cab, but you missed something. There should be a coca cola can somewhere on the dashboard, it s neccessery because of cheetos :D I have seen in the past many millitary SCANIAs but never a TOPLINE CAB one. It is very strange for me to see a long distance cab dressed in millitary. Kostas.

Yeah, I was wondering how long it would take to the driver to check the air preasure for all these weels lol Kostas.

You are off to a good start, I like the rear feeders, its a nice touch. Kostas.

Nice Peterbilt you have on the go there!!! Keep us posted. Kostas.

Both your truck are very nice. Looking forward to see more (and bigger) in progress photos of your builds. Kostas.

Thank you for your tips Earl!!!! Your Peterbilt is a killer and even dressed in matt black it is very nice! Greetings, Kostas.

Very nice and clear built Tim!!! I can only imagine what a pain could be installing those pinstripes? Kostas.

Hello Tim, I am trying to be connected to your site and the last 4 hour I only recieving an error message that your server is not found. What happent??? Kostas.
