  1. Very cool! Will the decal sheet be similar to the Moebius LoneStar or the Revell of Germany LoneStar?
  2. I doubt it. Moebius will probably do the WorkStar next.
  3. Or possibly Chinese market?
  4. You never know! If those Walmart 60ft traliers become more popular, COEs might see a little resurgance.
  5. Great looking Road Boss. Anthony, so you know GW Trucks offers the 92" & 108" Road Boss hoods in resin. I have them both, and I'm hoping to do an "in box review" of them soon.
  6. Doug, no, I was talking about the Superliner itself. I was too mesmerised by it that I didn't even look at the trailer closely. I've seen the GW Trucks trailer & display cases. They're really nice.
  7. Looking good. I like the colors, too.
  8. I believe the Needlenose (351/281 with the butterfly hood & the 358/288 with the tilt hood like this model) predate the wide hood 359 which was introduced to have a larger radiator to cool the higher horsepower engines that were becoming available.
  9. Thanks. I actually have some of that Detroit Diesel Alpine Green, but to me it looks a little too green. Here's a Detroit Diesel 8V71 that I painted with it: See what I mean?
  10. Ok, thanks. Is there an "off the shelf" color for this?
  11. That's a nice looking engine. Are you rebuilding that one?
  12. A "slightly-bluish-muddy-grey-green". Well, that sure is descriptive! Now I just have to figure out how to paint it.
  13. I just picked up the Revell/Monogram 1937 Ford Delivery Truck, and it seems like a nice kit. The instructions say to paint the engine a "medium green", and a quick Yahoo! search has verified that Ford did indeed paint their engines green in 1937. Now, my question is, what is a good match for the 1937 Ford Engine Green? The only reference pics I've really been able to find are either pics of engines that some has hot-rodded, or black & white photos. Neither of which are terribly helpful.
  14. That's one sweet looking Superliner. Is that the Italeri kit or the AITM conversion?
  15. Nice looking Bearcat! If I remember correctly, Neil Armstrong said it was his favorite airplane to fly.
  16. Nice looking Diamond-REO. I like the colors & your additions.
  17. Looks like you stocked up!
  18. Thanks. And it'll look good pulling a flatbed. Here's the 1:1 I used as inspiration:
  19. it's a 40 year old AMT kit with some fit issues, but it can build up nicely. Here's mine: I did use an extra exhaust stack deom a GMC Astro to get the dual stacks, the decals are from various kits, and the flap logos are from JBot.
  20. Looks really good. I like it. Now you need a tractor to pull it!
  21. The aluminum tube that I used I got from my local hobb shop. It's made by K&S Precision Metals specifically for model building. Here's their Website: http://ksmetals.com/ You "might" be able to find something useable at Home Depot or Lowe's, but I seriously doub't it. Good luck.
