    Nice job. A little BMF on those door handles will add some additional detail. I like what you've done. What happened to your right front tire?
  2. Jim B
    Rick, I'm pretty sure Justin is correct as you could probably find them in both. Ford truck engines in the 1970s were Ford Blue, but if there was a rush order the engine probably would have been OEM color. Similar to Peterbilt & Kenworth who had their engines painted white, or International who had their engines painted red; but OEM colors always crept in!

    Nice job on the Ford.

    Those are amazing! Great details. You might look into K'Nex for your tires. They look similar.

    Fantastic! I've used Tamiya Medium Blue XF-18 for the Series60 Blue. It's pretty close.

    Looks good. I had trouble with those tanks, too. And the "mounting locations" for the cab hunges are non-existant.

    Nice looking Peterbilt. Great job.

    That's a naturally aspirated Caterpiller 3208 that was built for Ford by Caterpiller and sold in Ford trucks as the V200 or V220. From what I've heard, this engine is actually a Caterpiller 1160 which is the predecessor to the 3208. Apparently the 1160 & 3208 had different fronts.

    Fantastic job. Love those old Macks.

    That's a lot more work than I'm up for. I'll just get Porky's cab. Assuming that they ever reissue the Transtar II.
  12. Jim B
    Well, I still hope they reissue it.
  13. Jim B
    This is true. And with that cab you can make some nice fleet tractors. Any idea what changes would have to be made to the frame to backdate the Transtar II to a Transtar? Just to backdate the frame (if necessary), not to make it a single axle daycab.
  14. Jim B
    Well, that's good. I suppose one could always "back-date" the Transtar II to a Transtar.
  15. Jim B
    True. I really how these kits get reissued someday. Round2 has already reissued the Ertl International Transtar 4300, so there's always a possibility.
  16. Jim B
    Sounds like urban legend to me!

    Nice looking Peterbilt.

    Nice LoneStar.

    I'm pretty sure that Daniel's spokes are from the Ford C600 kit. He actually has several types.
  20. Jim B
    I thnik you're right.
  21. Jim B
    Looking good. Hey, how did Jackson get to Can-Am Garage?
  22. Jim B
    Isn't that one owned by Brad White of BPW Trucking?
  23. Jim B
    What type of spokes are you looking for? I picked up some 5-spokes from Daniel at Plaskit.
  24. Jim B
    Yea, I know what you'd say!
  25. Jim B
    Leo, what's the difference between the White Road Commander II and the Western Star COE?
