Outstanding!

You did a great job on this build.

Wow. This is really coming along.

That looks good.

Wow! That is some amazing scratch building. I can't wait to see it hooked up. What color blue is that you have used on the reefer? It does closely match the light blue I've seen in pix of Thermo Kings from the 1970s.

You did a great job on this truck. I like the weathering, and the scratch built hydraulic tank.

That's a really nice paint job.

These are some nice builds.

Outstanding!

cool

He was a memorable character. Very creative build. Nice headache rack.

This turned out great.

Yes it does seem to be a bit short out of the box.

It looks like you're making the body longer. This is going to be an interesting project.

This is the first time I've seen one of these in scale. Nice job.

This is really looking nice.Great detail work.

I think it will be a big help. Thanks again.

Your BRANCH truck shows that this the way to go with this. That swings the hood out nicely. Can you point me to who makes those hinges you used? Thanks for showing it. I love the engine details on both trucks.I think I will just cut the loops off of the front springs and go for it. I was trying to complicate it too much. If nothing else, I do have various sizes of brass tube that I could probably attach the same way you did the hinges. Thank you again, you just made my day. Now I can progress quite a bit with that solved. Well, then again, progress on this thing has been like having my truck stuck in the snow... I have to rock it back before I go forth.

You really captured the fleet look. Great detail work.

We all have that project that every time you take a step forward, you have to take 2 or 3 steps backwards. For me, this is that project. My main problem is trying to hinge the hood. There are some other fit and body work issues I'm having, but this is what has stalled me the most(aside from work). I did take a few pix so I could share some progress. I have to repair a few things before I go further. I just hope I can leave the engine alone. Interior shot. Color is Tamiya XF-8.

I love mixers. I will be watching this one.

Well done

That is a really cool build.

You did a great job. I like the details like the convex mirrors and the subtle weathering.

That's different. The results are pretty cool.
