Nice looking T600A. They look good together.

So, I've compiled a list of truck kits & their approximate years over the last few years. I don't know how accurate it is, but it's the best I've got. Make Model Approximate Year Engine Make Engine Model Brand Type Notes American-LaFrance 1000 Series 1970-74 Detroit Diesel 8V71 AMT Pumper American-LaFrance 1000 Series 1970-74 Detroit Diesel 8V71 AMT AeroChief American-LaFrance 1000 Series 1970-74 Detroit Diesel 8V71 AMT LadderChief American-LaFrance Eagle 2002 Detroit Diesel Series 60 Trumpeter Pumper Curbside Autocar A64B 1970-71 Cummins NHC250 AMT Tractor Autocar DC9964 1970-71 Cummins NHC250 AMT Dumper Diamond-Reo C-11664DFL 1970-71 Cummins NTC350 AMT Tractor Chevrolet Titan/90 1976 Detroit Diesel 8V71 AMT Tractor Chevrolet Bison 1977 - 1978 Detroit Diesel 8V92N AMT Tractor Should be 8V92T Dodge L-700 1969 Dodge 361 V8 Lindberg Tractor Ford C800 1970 - 1972 Ford FT 534 c.i.d SD V8 AMT Stake Ford C900 1970 - 1972 Ford FT 534 c.i.d SD V8 AMT Tractor Ford LN8000 1973 Caterpillar (Ford) 1160 AMT Van Can be modified to 3208N Ford LNT8000 1973 Caterpillar (Ford) 1160 AMT Tractor Can be modified to 3208N Ford LNT8000 1973 Caterpillar (Ford) 1160 AMT Dumper Can be modified to 3208N Ford LNT8000 1973 Caterpillar (Ford) 1160 AMT Snowplow Can be modified to 3208N Ford LTL9000 1983 - 84 Cummins Revell Tractor Ford LTA9000 1993 Cummins Italeri Tractor AeroMax 106 Ford LTLA9000 1993 Cummins Italeri Tractor AeroMax 120 Freightliner FLC-120 Cummins N14 Italeri Tractor Also issued by Revell of Germany Freightliner FDL120 1988-1993 Cummins Italeri Tractor Cat 3176, 3406B; Detroit Series 60; Cummins N14, 855 Big Cam 4, L10 GMC Astro 95 1976 Detroit Diesel 8V71 AMT Tractor GMC General 1977 - 1978 Detroit Diesel 8V92N AMT Tractor Should be 8V92T International CO-4070A Transtar 1969-74 Detroit Diesel 8V71 Ertl Tractor International CO-4070B Transtar II 1974-80 Detroit Diesel 8V71 Ertl Tractor International F-4270 1973-77 Cummins V903 Ertl Trractor International 4300 Transtar 1977-78 International V800 Ertl Tractor International Paystar International V800 Ertl Tractor, mixer, or dump International LoneStar 2010 International MaxxForce15 Moebius Tractor International ProStar 2011 International MaxxForce15 Moebius Tractor International S-2575 1977-78 International Ertl Tractor International S-2674 1977-78 International Ertl Tractor IVECO Stralis IVECO Cursor13 Italeri Tractor Iveco-Magirus 140 25 1980s Deutz F6L Italeri Autoscala Kenworth K100 1980 - 81 Cummins NTTC475 Revell Tractor Kenworth K100C Aerodyne 1979 Detroit Diesel 8V92T AMT Tractor Kenworth K123 1970 - 71 Cummins NTA-370 AMT Tractor Kenworth W900 1972 - 82 Caterpillar 3408 Revell Tractor Kenworth W900 1972 - 82 Caterpillar 3408 Revell/Monogram Tractor 1/16 scale Kenworth W900 Aerodyne 1976-82 Caterpillar 3406A Revell/Monogram Tractor Kenworth W900 Aerodyne 1976-82 Caterpillar 3408 Revell/Monogram Tractor 1/16 scale Kenworth W923 1969-71 Cummins NTA-370 AMT Tractor Box labeled W925, but actually a W923 (spring suspension) Kenworth W900 1969-71 Cummins NTA-370 AMT Tractor "Alaskan Hauler".

I know it's not part of the original kit, but it would be nice if they included the cold weather intake for the air cleaner.

Great looking Ford. Well done.

That's awesome! Great job. I really should try one of these kits.

Very true. I'm trying to find a Tamiya T-34 in 1/25 for a reasonable price. Kind of wish Tamiya would reissue their 1/25 armor kits, but I guess 1/35 is where the money is.

That's pretty cool. Is the M4 the Tamiya kit?

I find it odd that there is no way of contacting them on their Website to let them know of the logo oversight. Has anyone else tried to contact Detail Masters to let them know about this? I'd bet they'd sell more if the set had two logos be they L8000 or L9000.

That's awesome. I'm sure it'll be pricy, though.

Great looking Dodge. Very well done.

That's awesome! Well done.

Well, that's interesting. Figured if this came back it would be Coca-Cola. It used to be USPS, but i guess they couldn't get the licensing for that.

Very nice looking '57 Chevy. Well done.

Very impressive! I'm guessing that this is 1/16?

Excellent work. Very well done.

Sweet looking Aerodyne. Well done.

Wow! I would certainly say so that you were on a building spree. They look great. Very nice collection.

As I understand it, the wood in the bed of a new truck in the 1940s &1950s (and maybe the 1960s) was coated with lamp black to preserve the wood. It would not have been polished & shiny.

Thanks, Pete. I'll let you guys know how it goes. With the way this build has gone, I'm expecting the 50/50 of isopropyl alcohol & water to completely dissolve the plastic!

Peter, I used Tamiya Pure White TS-26 and Tamiya Gloss Black TS-14. It sure looks like adhesive left behind by the tape. It's only in the area where I used the blue painter's tape, not the Tamiya tape. I'm going the try to "clean" it off this weekend, so we'll see.

It would be nice if they could make the Ford logos for 8000 & 9000.

Nice tutorial, Greg. What ever happened to The Scale Firehouse? It seems to have just disappeared.

Nice looking Dr.1. Very well done. Is this a replica of an actual machine? Who was the pilot?

Nice progress so far. Definitely floats in the front.

Alcohol removing the Tamiya paint! That's all I need right now. I've heard of using WD40 for things like this, but I thought it was "urban legend". I might just have to give it a try.
