Great looking W71. You do really nice work.

Dave, that looks really nice. What do you recommend for a doner kit? Would the Transtar 4300 be a good choice (without the Boat Anchor)?

Nice looking Diamond T.

Nice job. A rare model indeed.

Yup!!

Looking nice.

Excellent job! Great details.

Fantastic job on the lathe! Where did the metal parts come from? Did you cast them?

I'm sure it will be, but a flatbed would be appreciated. Heck, any modern trailer will be appreciated.

Very nice. You say that you cast this cab?

I dunno, maybe. I was kind of thinging the same thing when I saw the box art.

Are we to deduce, from this post with no text, that you assume that Moebius is planning a 53' spread axle aluminum flatbed simply from their ProStar box art?

Nice looking LargeCar! Fantastic job.

Well, it's a start, I guess. It's either British from KFS or Soviet from a caster out of the Ukraine (at least I think he's from the Ukraine).

Nice job.

Looks good. I like it with the livestock trailer.

Someone has: http://www.kitformservices.com/standard.html

Nice looking Model T. I like it. Very unique.

Excellent job.

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).
