  1. Your Cruiseliner came out awesome, Dan. Very well done. I like the look of that Bighorn it's parked next to, too.
  2. Thanks, Warren. It's just your standard AMT/Ertl Kenworth Aerodyne kit released under Esci/Ertl name in the 1990s. Probably for Europe, but I'm not sure how it got over here in the US.
  3. Wow, you're just cranking these Transtars out. Looks nice.
  4. You can always try here: Plateshack.com Site Map They're not decals, but you can download them, resize them to the appropriate scale, then print them out.
  5. I didn't even know Harbor Freight carried hobby air brushes. I've been looking at an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS for a starter air brush, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
  6. Very nice looking K100. Well done.
  7. Very nice looking F-150. Very well done.
  8. Very nice looking General, Jason. Well done.
  9. I tell people who are "so proud" that they own an electric car that their car runs on coal. They don't seem to like that fact! ?
  10. Looks like I better get mine soon. I don't want to pay extra for decals I'm just going to toss.
  11. Angel, yes, I cut the frame down be 48mm (1-7/8"). Thanks for the complement. Instructions actually call for the cab & frame to be painted black, but I like the blue better. Thanks, Bill. Thanks, Chris. Thanks, Jason.
  12. Thanks, guys. I appreciate the comments.
  13. Very nice car. Well done. What scale is this?
  14. I've had this kit kicking around for a decade or so: And in in an effort to further stall my BRBO 1976 Chevrolet Bison, in April I decided to start it. The goal was to make a nice looking tractor using everything from the original kit, and I think I succeeded. The kit is box-stock except that I shortened the frame 48mm to a 180" wheelbase. The Kenworth badges below the doors, on the quarter fenders, and on the seat back are JBOT decals I had kicking around, and the badge on the grill is from the Revell of Germany Kenworth W900. The color is Rust-oleum Navy Blue, and the interior color is Dupli-Color Buckskin. The decals are from the original 1992 kit. Interior: Frame with engine (easier to see without the cab): I did have an issue with some missing parts from the Detroit Diesel 8V92T, and was helped out by a Forum member, and the valve covers are from Double Take Replicas. Exterior:
  15. Oddly, the Confederate flag might not be "on" the box, but it is "in" the box.
  16. Great looking Schwalbe. I've always like this aircraft, and A Higher Call is on my "to read" list. (It's a long list.)
  17. That's absolutely awesome!
  18. Some really nice looking Corvettes, and I like the 1957 Bel-Air in the background, too.

    1958 Ford

    Nice looking Ford. Well done. Don't think I've ever seen one of these before.
  20. I like you Charger. The Slant-6 is an interesting engine swap. I have this MPC kit: Is this the same Charger in the box?
