  1. This might help: http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=1166
  2. Check the chrome. I've heard that some people are having issues with the chrome trees.
  3. He's really selling the Meng kit for $49.95? That's awesome!
  4. Your ALF is looking great. I really like the modifications you've done.
  5. Dsimond REO ceased production of Class 8 trucks in 1995. Autocar was purcahsed by Volvo from White in 1980 and built Autocars in one form or another until about 2000. Autocar is still around (only making the Xpeditor in Highland Park, IL. Sterling was discontinued by Diamler Trucks North America in 2009.
  6. Saw this video on Yahoo! News, and thought you guys might find it interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeL3A6TYQ94 Word to the wise: DON'T drive your Freightliner on the beach.
  7. Looks like a nice trailer.
  8. Very nice start. That sure is a big bus!
  9. Yes, this is the kit. You'll need to convert it from a 359 to a 281. This might help: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/fine_scale_modeller/fsm_1984_09-10_sep-okt/
  10. Fantastic job! I've been wanting to add an F8 to my collection for a while. This is defiantly inspiring.
  11. I was unaware that AITM made a W9000 cab. Interesting.
  12. Yes, I did account for the pistols. It's probably the bet leg posture that he's in that makes them look a little funny in the photo.
  13. Nice looking figures. I've been contemplating getting a couple of his other figures. These figures look a lot like the guys on the box art. Did this kit come with figures originally? Are these original figures or copies of those? Maybe it's just me (or the angle of the photo, or something), but the little boy's arms look a little long to me.
  14. I wouldn't count on it. They'll need to pay for that lawsuit!
  15. Fantastic work! The detail painting is great. I remember building this car back in 1985 or 1986. Don't have it anymore though, the cat made short work of it one day.
