    Nicely done. I like the 2-hole wheels on the rear as well.

    Great details on the brakes. Heck, great details all around!

    Your trailer is very well done. Weathering looks spot-on. I like it behind the DAF.

    Nope. Bought two there.

    Gravity is your friend! Well, most of the time. Just remember, gravity isn't just a good idea; it's the law.

    Nice start. That's one heck of a bank it's in!

    As far as I know, the 359/289 always had a tilt hood. The only reason the California Hauler doesn't have one is because AMT didn't make it that way originally back in 1969. The second issue of the 359 with the 1100 series cab has a tilt hood. It shouldn't be too hard to make the hood on the CH tilt. The 351/281 had the butterfly hood, and the 358/288 was the narrow nose tilt hood.

    Interesting build. You sure are doing a lot of work on this one to get it right. Sure is funny looking!
  9. Jim B
    Yes.

    About 25ft.

    No, none of the Round2 reissues have numbered parts; or if they are numbered on the sprues they have the old numbers that don't match the instructions.

    Sorry about that. Read the post backwards, or something!

    The only person that I know of the sold them (if your trade doesn't happen) is Special Appearance Decals. He might be on eBay, but his Website is gone.

    Actually, I am. A 359 & a 288; and I might just make one green!

    The outside pictures look real. I like your parking lot.
  16. Jim B
    Nice fleet of bedbuggers you've got there. Very well done.
  17. Jim B
    That pump is beautiful!

    The 359 looks good in green.

    Túlio, that's so cool! I really like the sound effects with the real Mig-3 engine start. Scott, the Mig-3 was produced in 1941 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan-Gurevich_MiG-3 ), and the P-51 was produced in 1940 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_P-51_Mustang ). They were both designed as high altitude fighters, but the Mig-3 wasn't as good as the P-51 or the Bf-109 in that roll. Or some of the other contemporary Soviet fighters for that matter.

    Looks great outside. Very well done.

    Great looking Diamond Reo. I really like it with the short hood.
  22. Jim B
    Nice build.
  23. Jim B
    I do prefer to build in 1/25, so I guess depending on the price I might be up for one or two.

    Definalty "picking you apart". Like Anthony said, just bringing something to your attention. While 1/25 scale modern Peterbilt hoods would be nice, they won't work with the Revell USA, AMT, or Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359. The good part is, most of the hoods you mentioned use the same newer cab. So one cab & multiple hood options.
  25. Jim B
    Probably not.
