Looking nice so far.

Great looking Aussie rig. Very well done.

Great looking build, Charlie. WAY above my skill level (or lack there of).

Saw the GMC Astro at a LHS over the weekend.

That looks great! Really well detailed.

Great looking Mustang. Well done.

How did I know that you would know? ?

Holy cow! That is detailed! Fantastic job. Almost a shame to hide it under a hood.

Rick, I don't see why we can't, it's just that I don't have any specific information on those kits. I have heard that the AMT 1/32 scale kits were quite nice, and the 1/43 kits have always intrigued me. Maybe Round2 will reissue some of these kits one of these days.

I have no information on those kits.

Håkan, thanks for the updates.

Might pick up the LTL9000 as I missed getting one last time. Oh! I remember why: it was $90!

I think I built that USS Enterprise back in the 1980s. If I remember correctly, the main deck is in three pieces with some pretty big seams.

What's wrong with the AMT grill?

Supposedly it's a Coke version with a Coke machine.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the comments. Mike, I think I might have to do that with a car hauler & maybe the Ford LN8000 race car hauler. More cars in the display case. Well, sort of.

Yup!

Nice looking Airacobra. Very well done. Darn Carpet Monster!

Where can you get C900 hubs?

Nice looking Dr.1. Very nice.

I have compiled another list of engines & their approximate colors for heavy & some light trucks. I don't know how correct it is, but hopefully the members here can help me make it more accurate.

Like was the DD 6V92T Alpine Green or silver?

List has been updated with new information & a notes section. I hope this is easier to read now. I've also added the Trumpeter American-LaFrance Eagle Pumper, the Itlaeri IVECO Stralis, and the Italeri IVECO-Magrius 140 25 Autoscala as I have these in my stash. I do not hae a lot of information on European trucks, althought I do find them interesting.

Se, this is what I like about this Forum: we all try to help each other out to make things better. I'll work on updating the list today to make it more accurate with the new information.

What Model Trucks forum? Not sure I've heard of that one.

Thanks for the updates. I will make the appropriate changes to the list. If you remember correctly, I didn't say it was accurate or complete, but it was the best I had. I appreciate the help in making the list more accurate & complete.
