  1. Looks like it'll be molded in white this time instead of the god-awful red like last time.
  2. Those are some nice looking door cranks.
  3. Isn't that similar to the sleeper on Snowman's GMC General in Smokey & the Bandit II:
  4. Nice looking dragger. Well done.
  5. Jim B

    Yenko Nova

    Great looking Nova. Well done.
  6. That's one big Mack. Nice job.
  7. I saw an article last week about the Army accepting the Mack Granite as the new M917A3 HDT. Here's an article from June 11, 2019: https://armyupdate.com/index.php/2019/06/11/army-mack-heavy-dump-trucks/
  8. Nice looking LN8000. Hey, Robbie had to get around some how, right?
  9. Nicely done, Mike. My WIP K100 had a run in with a cat & a mole. Cats: 2; Trucks: 0.
  10. Nice looking Bel Air.
  11. Pierre, that's one of the reasons why people say it's a pain to build, the other is the typical AMT fit quality from that era. Here are some articles on correcting the AMT T600: https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm17_jan_1993_updat/ https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm18_mar_1993_updat/ https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm19_may_1993_updat/ https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm20_july_1993_upda/ https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm21_sept_1993_conv/ https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm23_jan_1994_updat/ I have yet to try these as it's a daunting project, and I can barely build box-stock. So you know, Gary Wallace from GW Trucks offers the correct T600 front suspension, and a variety of engines that are appropriate for the T600 (Detroit Diesel Series60, Cummins N14, and a yellow engine).
  12. You are correct, most of the US truck kits are from the 1970s & 1980s. The AMT Kenworth T600 is a 1990s body on a 1970s frame & engine. I don't know about the Revell (or was it Italeri) Kenworth T600.
  13. Thanks, Carl.
  14. That's really nice. Very well done.
  15. That looks pretty cool. Didn't know AMT did a modified Mustang.
  16. Couldn't agree more!
  17. Thanks, Bob.
  18. Nice looking Charger.
  19. Thanks, David.
  20. Very nice!
  21. Thanks, Lee.
  22. Thanks, Michael. The paint is Testors Spray Enamel Gloss Competition Orange (P/N 1628). The engine is Testors Model Master Lacquer System Hemi Orange (P/N 28107).
