    My (limited) experience with Model Truckin' decals is that the white was slightly opaque and allowed the red to show through on my R685ST. I did purchase those decals a while ago, so things might have changed. If you're concerned about bleed through with white decals, check out Microscale Decals. I used them on my IVECO ladder truck with no bleed through of the red underneath.

    Can't say as I've ever seen a Ford LTL9000 in US Army service, but that doesn't mean they weren't used. Looks really good. Just need some bumper numbers & black stars.

    That looks awesome. Is it a military truck? Just curious with the sand colored paint job.

    It was a German movie, in German, so chances are it wasn't released in the US even though is was set in the southwestern US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleisch_(film)

    Thanks, guys.

    That made my head hurt.

    Thanks. I would really like to pose it with a MiG-15 on a base showing MiG Alley.

    That might just work. I have an old guitar that can volunteer some high E string.

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    Wow! Has it really been a year & a half since I worked on this? My how time flies! Well, Sheriff is back on the bench. Still don't have a really good solution for the curb feelers, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I do have a solution for the radio antennas, though.

    That turned out great! Very well done. I like the Photoshop shot.

    Thanks guys. It was a challenge. Oh, dear. I seem to have placed this in the wrong section! It is not a pick-up, van, or light commercial. This is a Class 8 truck (heavy commercial). Could someone relocate this to the Big Rigs Under Glass section? Please & thank you!

    Another one off the Shelf of Shame! I started this one back in March 2013, and I finished it up today. That's only 5-1/2 years! There were some frustrating times, but I'm mostly pleased with the results.

    Nice old KW. Looks like it was upgraded from the tandem torsion bar suspension to an air ride suspension at some point in its life. Very nice restoration.

    Glad you liked it, Bob.

    Thanks, guys. Snake, I agree with you on the panel lines. As it is, they are probably 3" across if you scale them up.

    Nice looking trucks, and a very nice layout.

    Thanks, guys. I appreciate the kind words. Rick, as for the MiG, I don't know about that. The MiG-15 had a lot of advantages over the earlier F-86 Sabres. In fact, they still had the speed & altitude advantage over the F-86F, not to mention that they had 23mm & 37mm cannons where the Sabres has 50cal MGs. The biggest advantage the Sabres had was pilot training. Speaking of pilots, I think mine is sitting a little too high. Oh well, too late now.

    Here is my Trumpeter 1/144 scale North American USAF F-86F-30 Sabre. The markings are the 335th Fighter Intercept Squadron, Korea, 1953. The pilot figure is from OzMods. Guess I need a MiG-15 to go with it.

    That looks great. Very well done.
  22. Jim B
    That's awesome! Great scratch building on the log claw.

    Should be a nice project. I like the rockets in the background. Is the white one a Phoenix missile? What's the gray one?
  24. Jim B
    That built-up isn't mine; it's from the AITM Website; but the Chevrolet Titan/90 or the GMC Astro/95 would be a good choice. Well, at least that's what I'm going to use when I do build be L1000.

    Plastic? No. Resin? Yes. https://aitruckmodels.com/product/dodge-ls-1000/
