Great looking old Fleetstar. Well done.

Thanks. Hopefully by the end of the weekend.

I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel! (and it's not the headlamp of an oncoming train this time) It's getting there. Not perfect, but I'm pleased after all of the trouble this build has been.

That looks real kinda nice, Tom. Very well done. Yes, the engine is a Caterpillar 3408T.

Looking nice. Some spokes would work well.

Kenworth painted engines white until some time in the early 1970s (1974, I think?), after that it was OEM color. When is doubt, it's always safe to go with the OEM color. I'm not that familiar with the Revell K100 kit, but from the photos I've seem Id say that it's probably late 1970s to early 1980s.

There's probably less parts that the B-1B landing gear, too.

That looks great. Weathering & details are spot on. Very well done.

Nice little aircraft. Well done.

That looks really nice!

That's a really nice looking 379. Well done.

Great progress.

Great looking K100, KJ. Well done. Looking forward to seeing this at the Spring Thaw show.

Looking awesome, Tyler.

So I was driving home today from West Chester, PA, on I-476 & I-81; and I must have passed about 20 to 25 trucks from Seaborne Intermodal or Seaway Intermodal, or something like that; and they were all pulling three axle container trailers with either a 20ft or 40ft container. While that in and of itself isn't all that exciting, I did see on one of the trailers something that looked like a warning sticker. I think it said "Disk brakes. 35% Shatter Rate." This can't be right, can it? It doesn't seem right that the DOT, or the Canadian equivalent as these trucks were from Canada, would allow brakes with a 35% failure rate on a vehicle. Maybe I read the sticker wrong, but it does seem strange.

Thanks. The color I used was Dupli-Color Santa Fe Tan which is sort of a cream colored tan. The car was originally painted Dupli-Color Sweet Cream over black, which is actually closer to the FHP scheme. Tbill did the painting & polishing on this one for me (twice, I think). From Wikipedia: "The paint scheme of black and tan (cream) has no correlation with the road color or the grass color. The traditional paint scheme is unique to the FHP and has been the color of the cars as long as the FHP has utilized patrol vehicles. The paint adds $657 to the purchase of each vehicle. Prior to sale, the patrol defaces the cars so that they cannot be misconstrued as official law enforcement vehicles. The defaced, two-tone paint deflates each car's resale value by approximately $400. It is a misdemeanor crime in Florida to operate a car in the colors of the FHP."

So, I managed to get some more work dome on the Charger Build From Hell. My decal issue was resolved (thanks to tbill & GLMFAA1), and this is where the build stood on 26 FEB 16: And here is where we are now: The front & rear bumpers are just placed on for the photos, and are not secured yet. Despite some setbacks, the build is starting to come together. The latest setback is the rear view mirror shot across the room, and I cannot find it. No idea where it might be. I minor setback, but I'm sure something will pan out (or I'll find the part). So, onward with the build!

Looking nice so far. Weren't the M1008 a 24V system like the rest of the US Army vehicles? Been a while since I drove a CUCV.

Fantastic looking weathering.

Coming along nicely. I like it.

Nice looking International. Well done.

Rumor Control has it coming out in June 2017: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/120065-amt-movin-on-kenworth-announced/

Very nice job on the Transtar. Well done.

Very nice looking Spitfire. Well done. Which version is this one?

Fantastic work, Pavel. Your attention to detail & weathering are outstanding. I can just about see this truck working on Long Island.
