  1. The only Mack logos that I know of are the KFS P/E set for the R, F, & Superliner trucks (maybe the Cruiseliner, too). It does have the Thermodyne scripts, though. As far as Caterpiller logos, yes, it's a licensing thing. If you print ANYTHING with Caaterpiller or CAT on it without their permission, they will come down on you like an 800-lb gorilla (or is it guerrilla, I always forget). If you're looking for Mack filter logos, check with Ben Wicker over at Class A Resin ( http://bwicke9.wix.com/class-a-resin#!high-quality-decals/c20es ). Hint: take a close look at the Miscellaneous Filter Decals. You might find the other ones.
  2. That's a great5 looking combination. Is your DOT tape from Line-o-Tape?
  3. Neat looking Komet diorama. Don't know how many were launched over water, but it's a cool idea. Makes retreaving the wheels a little more difficult, though. Did they test the Komet at Peenemünde?
  4. Very nice looking DAF. I like the addition of the engine.
  5. That's pretty cool.
  6. I've been looking for those since 2007 with no luck. If you find anything, let me know.
  7. This is great news, Bill!
  8. Looks pretty good. Pictures are a little "washed out", but from what I can tell it's a nicely done model.
  9. You're welcome, Sean. Thanks for the compliment on the Revell hood, but so you know I didn't paint it. A friend of mine did it for me.
  10. Glad to help. You can contact Gary at gwtrucks@yahoo.com for a price list.
  11. I was asked in another thread if I could post some pictures of the GW Trucks W900B & W900S conversions that I have. So, here is a little "in box review" of these cabs. Let's start with the W900B. The GW Trucks W900B is a complete cab & hood conversion kit including all of the parts you see here: The kit includes the cab, hood & grill, interior floor pan with dash board & door panels, cab mounts, external air cleaner. visor, and intercooler. All parts are cast in white resin. The cab: Here are some comparison shots of the GW Trucks W900B hood with the AMT hood (center) and the Revell of Germany hood (blue): Now, onto the W900S. The W900S is a special sloped hood version of the W900 that is marketed toward the dump & mixer applications. The GW Trucks W900S kit includes all of the parts you see here: Also available is the W900S Front End Suspension Correction Kit: The Cab: Again, all parts are molded in white resin, and have very clean, crisp details. According to Gary, these cabs are mid to late 1990s. Correct engines for these trucks would be as follows: W900B - Cummins M11, N14, or ISX (late 1990s), Caterpiller - C12, 3406B, or 3406E (late 1990s), Detroit Diesel - Series 60 W900S - Cummins M11 or ISM, Caterpiller - C10 or C11. Hope this helps.
  12. That interior looks great! I think we can get some tips & techniques from you!
  13. Thanks, Bill. Actually I had a heck of a time trying to reshape the nose to get it "more correct". Still a little to pointy. Those are some nice pics of the TWA L-1011. It is sort of a shame that they got cut up, but they are obsolete.
  14. Looks good in the green & white. Nice clean build.
  15. I like the door decals. Very nice.
  16. You might have a long wait. This is a 5 year old thread, and Bill hasn't signed on to the Forum since June 2013.
  17. Sure, I'll take some this evening, and create a thread in the "Truck Resin & Aftermarket" section.
  18. Yes, he does. I have his W900B & W900S. They're quite nice.
