this is great i always wanted these!!!

What was the Site you seen it for $80 i cant get the link Porky put on here to load. would like to look at it. Thanks

Thanks, The stacks are from a Italeri Freightliner with the muffler shields black washed to bring out detail like the front grille.

Thanks Mike, I did use putty on the seams it turned out pretty good. There is always room for improvement for instance I want to change the fuel tnks out as soon as I can find a set that looks good. Thanks again for the kind words.

Thanks Robert, It is actually orange and black but dont worry a few other people thought it was red it just depends on your monitor. Actually your correct the front wheels are Italeri and i modified the actual wheels by cutting down the centers on the wheels to tuck under the cab like they should. You and butchey hit the nail on the head that is my plans for the Fruehauf van I have for it. Thanks again to everyone for the comments it inspires me to do better on the next one.

Well i am gonna call it done on this one. I am planning to build a van for this one soon to match. The trailer that is shown is just a old spare parts tralier to get an idea on air line length ect. Hope you all like it it was a pain in the @#%.

Dennis that turned out great!! Great job bud!

Tim, That is on of my favorite fleet trucks. You have hit it on the head looks GREAT!!! Now you you need a Benson spread axle alluminum flat for it!!

This is a White Freightliner that will be painted and striped in the same colors to add to my fleet. it is coming along pretty good so far. I still have alot to do i will try to update as progress continues. Thanks Chris

Cummins is what is in it. Italeri only puts Detroit or cummins in their us truck kits.

Porky I just wanna say that is great customer service your the best!

Awsome!!!!!

Thanks Troy Trucks are alot of fun their is so much you can do to them and it is a very cool hobby. Good luck and build one I know i would like to see you build one aswell as the other model truckers here. Take care Chris.

im with ya a bull wagon would look good Dennis but im just not sure decisions decisions.

Thanks Guys! I will keep you all posted on the finished product.

I know it is not finished but i had to get some outside light pics. B)

Well guys here it is I had about 10 free hours yesterday and got alot accomplished. I still have some detailing to do the motor is just sitting in there and I Need to make my Deck plate and Texas bumper. The stock bumper is on just for looks it is better than nothing! I still have things like headlight lenses and wipers and I have a set of Vortox air cleaners from a Bill Signs Kit but we all know about the chrome problem yea it rubbed off!! I am going to get Allclad Chrome and spray them but hay I cant complain I like lookin at it now. . Thanks again for everyones interest in this build it pushes me to do my best ad really put alot into it especially this being my first build in almost 5 years. I haven't decided on what to go behind it yet Possibly a Reefer or a Bull Wagon suggestions anyone?? Thanks Chris.

Man lookin great Dennis!! You have been busy!!

Sorry about that Dennis.

I just received my case of KW Cabovers today and have opened one to share some pictures of the contents and decals for some people that are curious to see what they look like so here they are. Also comes with a KW sticker and small model box. Very nice looking kits! I am ready to build one I have been wating for this for a long time.

I ordered a case today. When i get them on Thursday I will open one and post some pics.

I may have some monogram tires in my parts box how many you need?
