Wonderful scratch building on the oil cooler Brian. As Victor said, that whole rad. unit is so impressive!!! Randy

Hi Jeff, That motor is looking just awesome my friend!!! Nice touch on the "wet" valve covers. The wheels and tires came out great. Inquiring minds need to know, did you use Meng bolts or CTM on those ? How did you do the dirt in the tire threads? We need details ? Randy

more.... Using some CTM resin u joints that I drilled and pinned to make them functional and added some detail to the shift knob. Weathered it up a bit... That is all for now, Thank you for looking in! Randy

Hi Folks Brian K. , I do appreciate the kind words, i just have to quit spending so much time going thru your build thread? Thank you Gary, now you just need to post a rivet update? Victor, Glad you like it. Jeff, Thanks buddy! Appreciate it Brian S. Thank you Mike! Thank you Ron. Update time... Doing some detailing on the transmission. The model represents an Eaton Fuller.... Added the hoses between the slave, ranger and splitter cylinders and valves..... working on the shifter.... Continued in just a second.....

Now you expect us modelers' to be able to read and interpret drawings???? ? I love all the add on bolt heads, and yes I will copy your airline work so you better do it right! If you don't mind, when I get to it I will contact you for help with some of my CTM pe. Great looking stuff but as you said on your other build, lots of folds with no instruction Randy

Charles, You have done a great job with this D 7. The paint and extra detail work is really paying off!! Randy

What a great finish to one of my favorite builds here Jeff!! Well done Sir. Randy

Hello Brian, This is one of those builds where if I haven't checked in for awhile I find myself going thru it over and over to soak in all the wonderful detail. Can't wait to see how you do the cab control details...I will be stealing ideas as my truck has some similar stuff. Get healed up quick my friend! Randy

Lewis, This really is a massive build constructed to high standards. Love it !! Randy

Always lessons to learn from your builds Charles! Wonderful work, Randy

The wheels came out great Jurgen and the box is looking good. Randy

Always enjoy following along with your builds Steve! They all look good? Randy

Gary, Love the change in direction with the scratch built box!!! As always, really clean and neat building going on here. Nice to the upgrade on the tools! Like others here, looking forward to your use of the rivets. Randy

Hi Folks, Brian K. , Thank you I am always inspired by your plow truck posts!!! Jeff, Thank you my friend. Your Pete came out awesome! Jurgen, Appreciate the comment, I work way too slow for that to happen? Gary, Thank you for the kind remarks. Charles, Thank you , no batteries yet Mike, Glad you are following along! Brian P. Your welcome and thanks! Some progress..... This transkit has the a/c condenser as a separate screen with the pipe unions printed with the radiator frame. I added some fittings and piping for the hi an low lines.. Working on the piping. The printed hose clamps are nicely done but I wanted to incorporate clamps like these.... I kitbashed mine from 3d printed pieces. This shows my first one and the kit ones.... That is all for now, Thanks for looking in! Randy

Adding the decals... That is all for now, Thank you for looking in. Randy
