Sweet! Someone is building the Italeri H-21C here: http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=258749&page=1

Thanks, Roger. Hopefully I'll have some additional updates soon. Isn't the Hughes TH-55A (Schweizer 300) the same helicopter the Cousteau used on the R/V Calypso?

That's a nice looking Euro tractor. Very well done. Nice clean build. Any plans for a Euro trailer to go behind it?

That's really slick, Tom. I think it came out very well, and I like the colors.

Check with Jerry over at Modeltruckin.com. He might have something. The problem with Caterpillar is they are VERY protective of their name & intellectual property. Their Legal Beagles make sure that if you want to use the CAT name, you pay or get a "Cease & Desist" order. They are almost as bad as Harley-Davidson. Good luck. Most aftermarket decal guys don't want to deal with the 800lb Yellow Gorilla.

Very nice!

For Detroit Diesel Alpine Green from the 1970s I use Testors Model Masters Grun RLM 62, and for Series60 Blue I uses Tamiya Medium Blue XF-18. I find that the Dupli-Color Detroit Diesel Alpine Green is too dark for the older engines; but that's just me.

Thanks. It has some issues: the fit isn't great, took for ever to get the white paint to cover, the boom is way out of scale, & the plastic is very soft. I'm really hoping to finish it up here soon.

Starting to look like a helicopter:

Really top-notch work. Absolutely fantastic.

Yup, that's impressive!

Very well done!

Interesting. Now, I know nothing about old White trucks; but I would have thought that the L700 chassis would have been too "light" for a White 3000, and that the Ford C900 chassis would be more appropriate. This seems to work, though.

Nice progress. Is that the Dodge L700 chassis?

Looks like something from Captain Nemo's submarine Nautilus.

Big Al looks awesome! Very well done.

Looking nice!

Interesting. I'm not sure a police car would have one of those, though; but I could be wrong. It's been know to (frequently) happen.

The artwork looks a lot like the artwork I used to see in Dungeons & Dragons.

So I managed to get some work done on the Sioux in the last few days between work & the rain. The cockpit is just about done: And here's a shot of the WIP instrument panel. Does anyone know what that ring is supposed to be? Is it a gun sight? And an overall WIP shot. The engine & cockpit are not permanently mounted yet. They're just "posed" for the photo. More to come! Soon, I hope.

Thanks for all of the ideas, guys. I appreciate it. And, yes, I am missing the CP100 sirens for the roof. Not exactly sure how I'm going to make those either. I have a 1/32 Revell Mack CF600. Maybe there is something in there I can use.

Thanks for the input, guys. Maybe they're attached to the left side of the car to make it look "balanced"?

I want to add curb feelers to my 1949 Mercury Club Coupe similar to this: But I'm not exactly sure how to go about it. I'm guessing that actual curb feelers are between 10" & 12" long. It looks like they just clamp to the frame. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the curb feelers for Sheriff? Got to keep the white walls clean, ya know.

Nicely done. I like your loading dock photo booth, too.

Looking good so far.
