  1. Those are fantastic! Great work.
  2. That looks fantastic. You did a great job.
  3. Looks really nice. I like the details you put into this.
  4. Nice job. You seem to have a thing for Western Stars.
  5. Looks good & well used.
  6. There will be no chrome on a tactical vehicle, and very little in the way of distinctive markings. The "FORD" & the logo would also be green. Everything would be the same color (body, frame, engine, driveshaft, interior) As for the bumper numbers, the numbers on the passenger side front is the unit (on my M927 is XVIII ABN/43ADA), while the number on the drivers side front is the vehicle number (C-11 in my case, which stands for Battery C, Vehicle 11). These numbers are switched on the rear of the vehicle. I think you have a good concept, and are off to a good start.
  7. Very nice looking Western Star. The colors are great. I like the black stacks.
  8. Thanks, Roger. I'll have to look into the 1967 Fastback (never really cared for that body style, though).
  9. Ok, so I don't usually build cars, I'm more into heavy trucks; but I've always liked the 1965 Ford Mustang. I purchased the AMT 1966 Ford Mustang a while back with the intention of building it someday. Well, someday might be coming sooner rather than later. So, not being a "car guy", I have some questions: what is the best way to detail out the engine? Is the Model Car Garage P/E set worth the investment? What details are missing from the kit that can be added? My intent is to build is "factory stock". I'm not going to slam it, or rod it, or anything like that. I've already check the "Car Kit Reviews" section for information on the kit itself. Thanks in advance for the help.
  10. I liked his scale calculator. It was pretty easy to use. http://www.briansmodelcars.com/tools/calculator-scale.asp
  11. You're C600 looks fantastic!
  12. I'm getting ready to start this kit, too; and was wondering about the cab assembly. Thanks as well. You mean like an AMT kit?
  13. Neat! Think you can get mor pics of that L-Series?
  14. I don't know that this company hauls, but Stickley Furnature out of Manlius, NY, runs Freightliners like that all the time.
  15. Andre just put the file back for the 48ft flatbed conversion. Should be all set now.
  16. Looks nice! Is this the latest reissue?
  17. That's the Bill Drennen one, right?
  18. I just checked through my files, and apparently I never printed this one off the site. We'll have to contact him & let him know it's missing.
  19. It was totally scanned at one point. I remember reading it on the site, and I thought I had a hard copy someplace. I'll have to go through my files.
  20. Check with Gary Wallace at gwtrucks@yahoo.com He makes a T800 with either an internal or external air cleaner. Can't remember if he makes the T800W & T800H, though.
