    You're off to a good start. I like the W900 AeroDyne in the background, too.

    It's interesting to note that in the photos that I've seen of this reissue, the air cleaner is on the drivers side while the luberfiner is on the passengers side. Is it the same with the yellow SSP reissue from 2013? This is opposite from the Revell USA 1/25 Peterbilt 359.

    The Soviets sure kept a lot of ammo out in the open in their turrets, although this was probably common practice for all armies during WWII.

    Nice looking wood wheels.
  5. Jim B
    Nice looking Charger.

    Looking good, but I think your tanks are reversed. As to the 5th wheel, I leave mine floating as well. I don't glue the 5th wheel or the carrier down.

    Cool. I'll have to see if I can track down some wiring & detailing information for the Flathead V8.
  8. Jim B
    Oh, good. So I'm not going crazy.

    Nice looking Tempest, although I do admit it does look a little plain.
  10. Jim B
    That's a lot of detail. Almost a shame to close up the hull.

    I just saw on another board that Revell (possible Revell of Germany) is planning on reissuing the 1/16 Peterbilt 359. Looks like the cost is about $170. Didn't Revell USA recently reissue this kit substantially cheaper?

    Thanks for the info, Chuck. Yes, I have the latest reissue with the yellow F1 on the box. As to your offer, a local modeler has offered to trade me the Flathead V8 out of his 1949 Mercury kit for the one in the 1950 F1 kit. Seems reasonable to me.

    Mark, I seem to have just the opposite problem: too many kits & not enough projects!
  14. Jim B
    That's what I thought.
  15. Jim B
    Yes, and the decals are 1/16, not 1/25.
  16. Jim B
    Hmm, let me think about this for a second....YES!!! Would this also be used in a 1992 T600B, or did they still use the flat dash?
  17. Jim B
    You know, I REALLY need to remember that site. You'd think I'd bookmark it or something.
  18. Jim B
    Well, that's not too bad. I seem to remember the Ford AeroMax106 being listed somewhere at over $100.

    Picked up a VN780 earlier this year. Might get a 378 if the price is reasonable, but Italeri prices haven't been terribly "reasonable" as of late (in my opinion).

    I have a DM600 in the stash, so I probably won't get another one. Probably. I remember building the "Blue Devil" destroyer back in the 1980s. It's a big kit; needs a lot of work to make an accurate Fletcher-class destroyer, but a fun build none the less.
  21. Jim B
    Fantastic!!
  22. Jim B
    Bummer! Looks like I need to track down a stock Flathead V8.
  23. Jim B
    I have a Revell Ford F1 in the stash. In reviewing the instructions, it doesn't apear that you can build the engine stock, but only as a customized Flathead V8. Does anyone know if the exhaust manifold & carburator are in the box?
  24. Jim B
    All of the AMT Kenworth W925 kits were the same. Only the decals were different. Although later issues had the spring suspensions making them actually W923. Looks like someone scratchbuilt an American-LaFrance Pioneer cab for the Ladder Chief. (Technically, it's a truck, not an engine. There's no pump for water.)
  25. Jim B
    I agree, nice start. How are you going to extend the rear of the frame?
