Cool!!!!!!!

I just got a really nice score!!!...but its not my scale though... 1981 Monogram Kenworth W-900 conventional semi kit---unbuilt--complete except for the box--1/16th scale--very very nice including the decals......now just to figure out what to do with it?

I think it looks better than the 4door and like the wall to wall taillights.....now to see if they make a supercharged version?

Pretty cool...too bad for the bird though.

I agree with you all but to me the old version and simplified kits are great kits still...just gives one the opportunity to use their skills/experience to make them as detailed as one wishes. I like both the newer issues and the older ones...just wish they would get back to the 3 in 1 concept again and/or include the original accessories some came with. Many kits over the years has had problems with lack of detail and very faint trim on the bodies,etc. It is nice to see the companies are thinking of the older kits again though....some body styles are timeless.

The interior if detailed will come out pretty good...it not having any detailing or color gives it a plain simple look. With careful detailing they don't look that bad to me. The engine is a bit dull and kind of has a generic look to it but built mine factory stock right out of the box.

Sorry about all the damage and loss Allen...even though its a tough to deal with at least you and all the family are ok. We were lucky here...storm only lasted about 15 minutes before passing on cant imagine it lasting for hours.

Very nice !

That is great news Highway!

Id have to say mine would be... 70s IH 4070A cabover. 60s trucks. 70s KW K-100 cabover. FWD trucks.

NICE!!!!!

I've used brake fluid,super clean degreaser for years now....just want to make sure the super clean dose not dry on the bare plastic this may or may not leave a film on the plastic or haze. Never had ether one harm them beyond use again when stripping old paint off. I have had oven cleaner etch the plastic before though and wont use it anymore myself....the other two can handle about any paints depending on how old or used you chemicals are?

NICE!...

I am very sorry to hear that Harold.... I recently lost a few in a storm-- un-repairable pretty much that were my dads....if there is anything I can do to help just let me know and Ill do what I can for you. Keep your head up Harold...better days are coming.

Hey Tom...WOW!!! I like it!

Thanks Mike!... The wife is sleeping and Ill need her help with all this...thanks to her the one that came through did but there's a few more of others too. I have no clue if anyone can get into the photobucket to see them ether? Mark

Ok...Thanks Joe we will give that a try then,we are new to the concept of posting and sending photos so we haven't much of a clue about how to do it to start with. Mark

Hi Joe... I have no idea,the wife was helping with this and just gave up...we just don't understand the process I guess??? The Photobucket account information did show up on my profile look up. I am not great at taking photos ether. We did get the photos downloaded into Photobucket. Were not computer whizzes that is for sure. I guess we need to learn everything to send/post from the Photobucket? Thanks!...Mark

Thanks for the information guys...it just looks much larger to me the cab is almost as wide as a COE truck but I could be wrong too? I am not very familiar with the Revell truck kits usually build the AMTs. Thanks again guys. Mark

Hi Guys...The Revell Peterbuilt fire truck kit #7529 says its a 1/25th scale kit but it is not...much bigger if fact so what scale is it??? 1/16th?,1/18th? I recently found got one but build the 1/25th and 1/24th scale kits. Thanks. Mark

I have no photos but how about the Mickey Thompson (attempt 1 salt flat car)it had a Pontiac slant 4cyl in it....need to find one too for a project.

Nice WAGON!.... Very cool.
