  1. 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.
  2. Sorry about that. Read the post backwards, or something!
  3. 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.
  4. Actually, I am. A 359 & a 288; and I might just make one green!
  5. The outside pictures look real. I like your parking lot.
  6. Nice fleet of bedbuggers you've got there. Very well done.
  7. TĂșlio, 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.
  8. Great looking Diamond Reo. I really like it with the short hood.
  9. I do prefer to build in 1/25, so I guess depending on the price I might be up for one or two.
  10. 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.
  11. Probably not.
  12. Interesting! I hadn't thoight of it that way.
  13. In addidtion to the hoods, you would need the proper 1/25 scale cab.
  14. The Corsair is one of my favorite WWII naval fighters (right up there with the Hellcat). I'd really like to do a couple of these in 1/144. Angel, I remember helping a friend of mine build the "Baa Baa Black Sheep" kit way back when.
  15. I agree that 1969 is probably a good starting point. I have that this 359 is from 1967-72, or there abouts.
  16. Great looking daycab. I really like it. I like your road, too.
  17. Ok, so I've been working my way through Season 1 (I'm on Episode 11), and I've noticed a few things about the truck. Sonny has referred to the engine as a "903 diesel", and in several of the episodes you can clearly see the "903" on the valve covers & the turbo; so that leads me to conclude that the truck has a VT903. In Episode 10, Will is concerned about driving a logging truck with a 5-4 twin stick. When Sonny tells him about the transmission, Will replies, "What? No buttons?". I'm assuming that he is talking about the transmission on Sonny's truck, but I'm not sure what he's talking about. Is he saying that Sonny's truck has an automatic transmission, or that it has an air assisted manual transmission? I also noticed that the badging on the truck (the hood ornament & the "KENWORTH" badges on the side of the hood & sleeper are gold. This leads me to believe that the truck they are "driving around" is a 1973. The interior looks to be a tan VIT interior, but I cannot tell what color the buttons on the back wall & doors are. In some shots the look green (to match the exterior? ), and in other shots they appear to be brown-ish. Does anyone know what color they really might be? I have to admit, it's a pretty cool show. Never did see it back in the 1970s, and I actually hear about it from a 1984 AutoWorld catalog where there was an article about "correcting" the AMT "Movin' On" Kenworth.
