Ryan yes they where 1/16 scale tires I used a set of high floats on my heavy haul Pete from an Italeri trailer kit.

Here is my Koach and Dragula

Here is a pic of my Pete tridrive with a beall tanker. the tanker was seriousely clear coated before being built.Pipe storage tubes was replaces with aluminium tubing and polished all brake lines was installed as wel as the marker lights wireing.

Very True on the gloves .I think it was the only kit I ever built wearing gloves.On mine the only thing not kit was the storage pies I replaced them with polished aluminum tubing drilled to add locating pins and suped glued plastic tubing in the ends to place the cover caps and cover panel .

Glad to help out.here is a pic of my Pete tri drive frame named Black Beauty before all the plumbing went in

Your rig looks good keep it going . Among other projects on my bench I am working out the bit for a tri steer Merc 1854 ls with tandem drive. Will have to scrach build a componit or two for it have on almost finished now.

Tony Bryan No it is an American truck a Mack Super Liner . But Italeri did release an Aussi version but had a left hand drive dash in it an only two fuel tanks I an building it now with the mentioned instructions posted above then kit was Black Thunder. I am also doing a Scania T142 aUSSI

While in Roanoke Va this last weekend I stoped by the International dealer ship thereand talked to one of the salesmen there. The HD verion of the new Lone star with real ( yes real) Oak Hard wood flooring wil sticker out at ... $165,000.00 Ialso foundout Tyson Chicken here in Va ordered 60 standard Lonestars . As for my choice of colors on it would be the red and great looking blue which sitting on the lot ..and guess what dummy me left my camera at home .

If I remember right the Super liner has a floor board from the freight liner kit as is the frame from the same freightliner Italeri used the same frame in seveal kits

first thing I learned was to clear coat mine . I used plastiCoat clear coat on mine before I even started to build it and cut parts from the sprues

I hope to be there have to work but if I can will havea few with me not lettingon this time what I am bringing if I do show up

Looks good ..And Ihave the same idea on the tubes I get mine from the grocery store

I like to post my builds here as I dont get to many shows . I also get good ideas from the others here and have been able to help a few and few help me out also. Ihave learned alot here like the inaccurate Can Do wrecker which now all I need the right hood and cab. I have recieved good comments and not mant bad ones also where I could have gone more on something.But that is a way of learning.
