    Yes, Beige is the correct color for the NTC-Series engines. Tamiya Buff XF57 is a close match.

    What kit is that from? Also, what do you get when you mix the 127 & 133 paints? I'm not familiar with Humbrol colors.

    Looking nice.

    This followed me home from Hobby Lobby: Guess I have to keep it!

    Maybe it was a White-Western Star thing?

    Looking awesome!

    Fantastic looking Superliner, Dmitry. Weathering is spot on. Very well done.

    Another cool tram car. I agree with you about Berlin in 1943. Not much left.

    Very unique subject & well executed.

    As a matter of fact, they did. It was called the Royale. I think they used the same cab as the Peterbilt 352, but I'm not sure. http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_brochures/diamond_reo/diamond-reo-royale/

    Good information on the tires, Håkan. Actually, I think AMT missed a "6" in their description. According to the Diamond-REO brochures that I have access to, the Model Number brakes down like this: C - Conventional 116 - 116" BBC 6 - Six wheels (each rear dual set counts a one wheel) 4 - four drive wheels D - Diesel F - front axle forward L - Lightweight (highway) So, an off-highway tri-drive with the same cab would be C-11686D-OH.

    Interesting.

    Yes, it's made by Luberfiner and it's an oil filter. I've never seen them on gasoline engines, just diesels.

    That's a really neat tram. Never heard of a kit of one of those. Very well done. Did it come with any tracks?

    Nice looking Peterbilt. I'm heading out to LA this weekend, so I'm hoping to see some trucks out there that I usually don't see here in Central New York.

    I think Ford had engines from Caterpillar & Cummins painted Ford Blue in the 1970s. Not sure about any Detroit Diesels, though. International Harvester had all of their engines painted IH red except for the V800 which was blue.

    I remember that scene. Nicely done.
  19. Jim B
    Well done! A very realistic bus.

    Really nice job on the Freightliner. Well done.

    Nice 1950s diorama. Well done.
  22. Jim B
    Very well done, Jean.
  23. Jim B
    Nice job on the hood.
  24. Jim B
    Great job on the Big Yellow Torpedo. Well done. I remember building that AMT tanker; it was a nightmare.

    I never realized that the Battlestar Galactica was 4720ft long. It's really big!
