    I like that red. What color is that? The hood is silver? Hard to tell on my phone. Very nicely done.
  2. Jim B
    Looks pretty darn close to me! I like it. That's the GM Light Metallic Blue, right?
  3. Jim B
    Those look nice.

    Nice loking dio, Charles. Very well detailed & executed.
  5. Jim B
    Nice job on the panzer. Is this a variant of the Panzer I?
  6. Jim B
    Yes, there is a way to fix the front end to make it a T600. I'm pretty sure the W900 & K100 share the same front end.
  7. Jim B
    Yes, and no. While the engine, transmission, & rear suspension would be correct; the front of the frame would still be incorrect. The T600 & T800 don't have that long, skinny "swoopy" front end like the W900. The front spring hangers are very different. GW Trucks does offer a Front End Correction kit. T800/T600 (ok, so it's not the best pic, but I think you get the idea): http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_brochures/kenworth/kenworth_t800/t800b06.html

    This might help, too: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/

    Pretty cool looking British truck. Are these trucks (the real ones, not the kits) from the 1950s?

    Would be nice to get a couple of sets to replace the wheels & tires on the snap W900 & Peterbilt 359 kits.
  11. Jim B
    It would look good as a logging truck. Maybe Georgia-Pacific. I think they used these colors.

    Nioce looking White-Western Star.

    This thread might be helpful, too: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=86601

    Tom, everything needs work on this kit. The frame is 1970s W900, the rear suspension should be swapped for an 8-bag from the AMT Aerodyne, the front suspension is incorrect, the engine is a 1970s NTC350 (not available on the T600), the grill & hood are a single molded unit. Even the cab interior is wrong.

    Great looking heavy-haul Mack.
  16. Jim B
    Really sharp looking fleet you've got going there with this 352 & your 359M. Fantastic job.
  17. Jim B
    Great looking Peterbilt. I like it with the long hood & the 1693. It's different.
  18. Jim B
    Awesome job.
  19. Jim B
    Stunning details! Extremely realistic. Very, very nice job.
  20. Jim B
    Looking good, Tom. Will you have this in Utica?
  21. Jim B
    Hey, it couldn't hurt. He might say "No way" (or whatever then say in Czech), but you won't know until you ask! I might be interested in a P/E set for the Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359 (or AMT or Revell/Monogram) if it was the right price.
  22. Jim B
    Wonder if he could "upsize" some of his 1/25 W900 stuff for the 1/16 W900. He seems to have a lot of W900 P/E sets in the works.
  23. Jim B
    Thanks for posting this.
  24. Jim B
    Thanks for adding those, Casey. Forgot about them, and I have both of them. Also, there's the White Freightliner SD, too. Think that was reissued a couple of years ago, too.
  25. Jim B
    The most recent reissued for AMT COEs are the Kenworth K123, Peterbilt 352 & Chevrolet Titan/90 (although the Chevrolet is getting a little scarce). The GMC Astro/95 & Mack Cruiseliner were reissued several years ago, and should still be available on eBay.
