Missing in Action

Awesome job!!!! Roy

Hey Jim!! Beautiful color on the Henry J!! Good looking overall job!! One question...Why did you install the grille upside down? Roy

Thanks Earl!!! Roy

Thanks Geoff!!! Roy

Hey chuck!! The reefer unit is scratchbuilt...A heller unit would be nice,But, I don't got one!!! Thanks Roy

Hey Chris!! I've been working on "Honey-Do" projects and doin' some work on my "Pogo Lil" PETE 352 on other forums...CTEMBC and the Plastic Crafters. I did get the trailer stripes for my Bj truck from Jerry/Phoneguy!! I do need to get it done though... I promise to post pics when I get something else done!! Thanks Roy

Hey Tim!! Very pretty OVERKILL!!! Roy

Thanks Eelco!!I will definitely be dealing with you again soon!! Great decals!! Thanks Roy

Thanks Landon!! I was glad to help!!! Roy

PRETTY!!! I'd love to find a real 1 in this condition!!! Roy

PM sent...

Hey Jim!! The correct wheels look like this... Roy

Revell '51 Henry J "Gasser" kits...Enough said!! Roy

Hey Jim!! Yeah the Movin' on truck is mine too.The Bj trailer is supposed to have 2 hole Budds,Painted silver. Thanks Roy

Hey Everyone!! I'm postin a few more pics of the progress... The trailer only has temporary 1/8" black automotive pinstripes on it until the decals come in...I did that just to take it to the IPMS show,And it still has the wrong tires/wheels also.It will be dead on the money before the next show!!! Thanks for lookin'...Roy

I can't wait to see it done myself,I'm just waitin' on stripes right now...Cheers Roy

Hey Bill!! I used Krylon gloss white,gloss "Red pepper" and matte aluminum and will clear it with Krylon crystal clear.I hope this helps!!! Roy

Hey Everyone!! I'm adding a few more progress pics... Not much longer now!! Thanks for lookin'...Roy

Thanks Guys!! The only complaint I have with this trailer was no drip rail above the rear doors and the wheels and tires...They were the first thing to be removed from the kit!!! However, I will never pass one of these up,If the price is fair!!! This is a very good "curbside" trailer(absolutely no interior detail)...Which is fine with me!! And it's a very easy build to boot!!! Roy

Hey Everyone!! I was messin' around with the side cargo door last night and scratchbuilt one that looks good,At least it looks good to me!! And I also got it in prime today!!! It's almost ready for some red and white and stripes!!! Heres a few pics... Thanks for lookin'...Roy

Hey Chris!! It was so easy...Even I could do it!! LOL!!! Seriously,It was easy,The roof,floor,and sides are 2 pieces each.It is harder to explain than it is to actually do it.What you see in these pics,reefer excluded...Took about 1 1/2 hours to get the box where it is now!!! If you had 1 in front of you...You would see how rediculously easy it is to do!!! Building the reefer was harder,And it wasn't very hard!! Oh,by the way the only bodywork will be on the roof,If you do it like I did...Zoom in on the pics to say 200-300 on your computer and look very closely and you should be able to get yours right!!! I hope this helps!!! Cheers Roy

Hey Everyone!! Heres more pic's of the trailer. Oh,By the way...The wheels are incorrect!! They are for mock-up only. Thanks for lookin' Roy

It'll haul anything,anywhere...As long as the weather is good and roads are clear!!! Roy

Hey Bradley!! The stripes are decals that I got from Jerry/phoneguy at...www.modeltruckin.com ,He has alot of truck decals of many different liveries.He also stands behind what he sells with very good service!!! I know, because I had 1 door logo on this truck that was smudged apart and it was unusable.So Jerry sent me the replacements, No charge whatsoever!!! I am very happy with his products and great service!!! Also, I have heard real good things about J-BOT Decals/Jim Botatis...He also makes the Bj decals.I hope this helps!!! Roy

Hey Chris!! It's an Itelari 48ft western reefer trailer that I shortened to 40ft.I am in the process of adding the side door. I will post some more detailed pics end to end of it that I missed. Have you got any pic's of Bj truck projects? If so, post them on here!!! Thanks Roy
