Those are some huge cats!

Looks really nice, KJ.

I like the visor. Did you make that, or is it Rino's?

Great looking Zero.

Must be a New England thing!

Nice looking hay hauler. How are you going to do the green flames?

Great job on the Volvo. I have this kit waiting in the wings. Question for you: how difficult would it be to convert it to a singe stack exhaust?

I agree! Spokes all around.

The DM600 would be just fine for your dump truck. That's what they are designed for. Yes, the entire engine & transmission should be gold. I found that Tamiya Gold Leaf X12 works quite well. Here is my ENDT 675 Maxidine from my Mack R685ST: For the interior green, I've heard that Humbrol 120 Matt Light Green is a good match; but I've never used it.

Nice looking trailer. The Krylon Chrome seems to have gone on well. I never had any luck with Krylon Chrome; just never seemed to dry.

Looking forward to your progress. I've never owned the kit either, but I remember seeing an actual B-1B flying nap-of-the-earth during Roving Sands '93 near our PATRIOT site at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Very impressive. We still "shot him down", but it was still impressive none the less.

That mixer is awesome!

I think you captured the look of the 1:1 quite well. I know one thing for sure, we could definitely use this truck up here on the New York Throughway in the winter. It would make a great snow plow!

Your DM600 is looking nice. I agree, the chrome has to go. Chrome spokes? Seriously, AMT?

Great looking Western Star.

Good stuff, Jan. I've been looking forward to seeing the Volvo VN P/E sets. They look really nice. Definately worth the wait.

No problem. I have this kit in the stash. Let me know if you need any additional information. Here is a link to the instructions: http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-7202.pdf

Yes, the other version is stock.

Not far now!

Thanks, guys, I appreciate the kind words. Helmut, I cannot take credit for the paint scheme. The cab, hood, & sleeper were painted by Jim Gavin in Ohio.

Nice looking tires.

Some nice looking models there, JT; but there seems to be a problem with this Volvo. It isn't orange!

The blue & orange look good together. I suppose you could always say it's a Roadway test tractor. Oh, so you know, a single drive 359 is a 289, not a 259. Confusing, I know.

Alberto, the Kenworth K123 has fit issues as well, but probably less than the Freightliner. The biggest issues with the Freightliner are the multipiece cab (it can be a reall bear to get to fit properly), and the front axle & bumper are too wide. Let's face it though, they are both AMT kits so there are going to be fit issues; but the Kenworth would be a better starting rig.

Thank, Ken.
