Looking good! What blue did you use on the engine? That's almost perfect for the 1973 Ford I'm doing.

Fantastic detailing!

Great looking COE & trailer.

Very cool! Will the decal sheet be similar to the Moebius LoneStar or the Revell of Germany LoneStar?

I doubt it. Moebius will probably do the WorkStar next.

Or possibly Chinese market?

Great looking buckboard.

You never know! If those Walmart 60ft traliers become more popular, COEs might see a little resurgance.

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.

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.

Looking good. I like the colors, too.

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.

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?

Ok, thanks. Is there an "off the shelf" color for this?

That's a nice looking engine. Are you rebuilding that one?

A "slightly-bluish-muddy-grey-green". Well, that sure is descriptive! Now I just have to figure out how to paint it.

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.

That's one sweet looking Superliner. Is that the Italeri kit or the AITM conversion?

Nice looking Bearcat! If I remember correctly, Neil Armstrong said it was his favorite airplane to fly.

Nice looking Diamond-REO. I like the colors & your additions.

Nice looking kit.

Looks like you stocked up!

Thanks. And it'll look good pulling a flatbed. Here's the 1:1 I used as inspiration:

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.

Looks really good. I like it. Now you need a tractor to pull it!
