Really nice looking single stack Mack! It has a good "fleet look" to it.

There is no resin or plastic model of the current Caterpiller CT660. You "might" be able to make one if you can find a moder Paystar conversion kit. I wouldn't display it on the forum, though; unless you want the 800-lb Yellow Gorilla to come pounding on your door with a copyright infringement.

Nice job so far. Will this get you Moebius trailer?

Thanks, Tim. Jan, as far as I know, there is no P/E set available to this truck. In fact, detail information is a little scarce, too. I did find that http://olddodges.com/ had some good information as does http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_brochures/dodge/ For the "700" logo on the side of the cab, I used some Bare Metal Foil & some black paint. Good luck with your project, and I'm looking forward to some progress pictures.

Thanks, Ben. I'm kind of suprised that this one has popped up again. I only finished it 3 years ago!

The cab isn't glued down, but there really isn't anything special about the engine. It's just the engine that come in the kit painted red. The transmission is Tamiya Gunmetal. I'll see if I can get a shot of the engine for you (there are better detailed engines on the Forum).

Nice ambulance wagon.

Great job on the wagon. A very important part of American history.

Should be interesting!

I knew you knew that!

Great looking model. Remember, the team of horses was also part of the "breaking power" on the stagecoach. And as far an Indian Counrty, where do you think the term "riding shotgun" comes from?

Looks nice. I like your road, too.

Fantastic looking bus.

Very nice looking K123. Good job all around.

You & me both!

That works. Thanks for the info. Beautiful job.

Great looking Big Job. Is this a F800?

Great job!

If they come to Syracuse, I think they might have something marketable!!

Great looking Peterbilt!

Here's another one: http://www.modelmakershop.com/modelmakershop/ If you go to Czech Truck Modell under Additional Parts, there is a nice P/E set for the AMT White-Freightliner.

Great job! Love the detailing.

Normally I don't expect any plastic or plastic related items for Christmas or my birthday, and I'm ok with that. That way I get what I want, and I don't get any really off the wall stuff that I'll never build. So, I was pleasantly surprised when my in-laws gave me this: Granted, this is something that I probably wouldn't have purchased myself, and I am actually looking forward to the build. Not sure when yet, though. Has anyone ever built this kit? Can anyone tell me anything about the actual vehicle? The Itlaeri Website has it listed in the 1950-1990 era, but I'm guessing that it closer to 1990. I am planning on building it as a Vigili del Fuoco truck as IVECO is an Italian company. Just thought I'd pass along a little bit of my Christmas suprise to all.

You wouldn't happen to have a link for these guys, would you? I did a search, and came up with 100000 sites selling decals for the University on Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Wonder if they'll bring back the truck kits as well.
