  1. This is a great thread. I have just about everything to make 3950, but I do have one question: I have both the AMT Kenworth W900 kits (one with the spring suspension & one with the torsion bar). Does anyone know what type of suspension 3950 might have had? I would have to guess that for a fleet truck it would have the lightest, cheapest suspension that they could get. The spring suspension in the AMT Kenworth W900 kit s a 38000#, I believe.
  2. Nice looking airframe. Are the engines well detailed in the kit?
  3. Nicely done wrecker, although I think it's in the wrong section. The added details are very nice. Where did you get the motorcycles?
  4. Those are some awesome looking California Hay Haulers, Clayton. We never see anything like that in New York. Where are they hauling the hay to? Are there just big hay farms in California, and they're just transporting it to some sort of distribution center? Or are these deliveries to individual horse farms?
  5. Nice job. I wonder if those red crosses really helped it in not getting shot down. I'd think that fighters could see them (assuming they looked), but not so sure about AAA. Guess you have to do something.
  6. Great looking tractor. Very nicely done.
  7. The Ju-52 was used by just about everybody & their brother (38 countries, including the US). Will this be a Luftwaffe version or a Regia Aeronautica aircraft?
  8. You build sailing ships? Cool! Let's see some. As far as that truck goes, it probably pulls a trailer as well. Nice snowplow on the front, too!
  9. Desert camo looks great. It looks like the Italian desert camo schemes.
  10. Nice looking K-100. Well done.
  11. Iron Annie looks pretty good so far.
  12. Some really nice builds.
  13. Wish you were that good a 12? I wish I were that good now at 47.
  14. Nice looking White-Western Star. Very 1970s.
  15. Interesting. Where did you get it?
  16. They are both very nice, but I'm partial to the Mk.II, myself.
  17. Nice start. Frame looks good.
  18. Nice job on the Impala. Well done. Are those Italeri road sections?
  19. Really? I mean it's personal preference, but I'm more partial to the black one. That's not to say that I don't like the gray one, because I do. It's the only surviving link to my teenage building times in Miami. Is it gray? I always thought it was supposed to be silver. That's the color the plastic comes in. I just put the decals right onto the plastic. My plan is to rebuild this using the most recent reissue, and my "updated" skills. Should be interesting when they are posed together.
