  1. This dio can get extremely complicated extremely quickly! Research, research, research, and ask a lot of questions over on Armorama. As for the Tiger Moth, I'm guessing that you're talking about the DH.82. That aircraft didn't make its first flight until 1931. The Gloster Gladiator's first flight was in 1934. The FV4201 Chieftain is a cold war tank (1966-present). From the photo above, it looks like you have a mix of years. The infantry you have both look like early war (1914-1915), the tank was 1916, the Fokker E.III was 1916, and the Sopwith Triplane was from December 1916 - August 1917. This might help: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar Good luck.
  2. From the factory, for the 1977 GMC Astro/95, GMC offered the DD 6-71N, 8V-71N, 6V-92, 8V-92, 12V-71N; Cummins NTC290, & KT450; and the Caterpillar 3406. Now, this isn't to say that someone didn't have the Cummins NTTC475 & stuck it in a glider, or repowered an older Astro (the kit is basically a 1972-76, give or take a little).
  3. Yes, I defiantly think that qualifies!
  4. Very nice looking Peterbilt, Casey. Well done.
  5. Thanks, Joe.
  6. Thanks, guys. Just have to get the grill & front bumper on, then I can add the spot light, siren, & decals.
  7. Almost done! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and this time it's NOT the headlamp of an oncoming train.
  8. Looking really nice, Tom. Jeff's right, those decals add just a little bit more.
  9. Nope! Should be able to finish it up in the next few days.
  10. The glass is in, the chrome is on, and I'm one step closer to finishing by Halloween! Just some interior touch-up & all the exterior "doo-dads".
  11. Very impressive! Great work on the trailer.
  12. Great looking Ford.
  13. Looks really nice, KJ. I like it behind the K100.
  14. Dave, I have used the Dupli-Color DE1618 Alpine Green & found it kind of dark for the older Detroit Diesel engines.
  15. Very nice! Did you scratch build them? Are they kits? Inquiring minds want to know!
  16. That would be nice, too. Alcoas on the fronts & spokes on the rears would defiantly give it an East Coast look. Shorten the frame or add a Mercury sleeper & you're good to go!
  17. This is interesting news. I might get one; I might not. Who can tell. I wonder if the decals will be the correct scale this time around.
  18. Pretty cool looking tractor, but like Leo said, the infrastructure for hydrogen powered vehicles just doesn't exist.
  19. Very nice job on the I-16. I like the weathering.
