Great looking LoneStar!

Great looking White Western Star! Let's go truckin', eh!

This might help (or at least get you started): http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/scale_auto_enthousiast/sae_2000-2004/sae_2001_01__januari/

Nice Dodge. Great weathering.

Great looking Diamond Reo.

Thanks, Gard. A KW COE would be very "period correct" for the Wilson trailer.

Sweet Mack!

Hope it helps.

Excellent job on the Peterbilt.

Should be an interesting build.

Maybe these will give you some ideas. With GMC Astro/95: With Chevrolet Titan/90: Ok, so those are sort of the same truck! It'll look good behind whatever you decided to put in front of it. Maybe the Peterbilt 352.

Nice looking combination. Your T600 looks great.

Great job. It looks really nice.

Thanks, Kevin. It's a great looking build. The only thing these kits are lacking is a visor. And I don't mean a big, chrome, custom, bow-tie, drop visor either; just the stock Kenworth visor.

Looks really nice. What gold did you use on the frame?

Nice job.

That looks great!

Great looking combination.

That looks great. Very realistic.

Luc, I have an old article from C.M. Kroack about detailing the AMT Peterbilt 359 (ok, it's a little dated) and converting the AMT Fruehauf Van Trailer into a 1970s era grain trailer. PM me your address, and I'll get a copy into the mail for you.

Actually, there's nothing "typical" about an American school bus; they're all very different. In fact every community around here runs different busses. Now, that being said, I still think it would sell well. What about a GMC Rapid Transit Series bus or a GMC New Look bus? Those things are everywhere!

If it's those ribbed hose you need, then Jaime at Mo'Luminum is probably your best bet, Or you can try & make them yourself from Plastruct elbows. That's what these are: Here's waht it looked like when I made them (sorry, it's a little blurry):

Well, what is it that you're looking for? You can check with Daniel over at Plaskit Resin (plaskit_resin@yahoo.ca) or Gary Wallace at G.W. Trucks (gwtrucks@yahoo.com). Neither of them have a Website (Daniel does have a Photobucket or Fotki site with pics of his stuff), but you can email them & they'll send you a catalog. If you're looking for custom built heavy-haul stuff, shoot Rick Mark of Industrial Model Design an email (rick@industrialmodeldesign.com). And Dave at American Industrial Truck Models (AITM) offers more in his catalog then on his Website (http://www.aitruckmodels.com/). If you're willing to shop overseas, then there's Howard from Kit Form Services in England (http://www.kitformservices.com/), Nigel from Auslowe in Australia (http://www.auslowe.com.au/), and there's always The Model Maker Shop in Austria (http://www.modelmakershop.com/modelmakershop/).

Thanks. I was just hoping that it wasn't the V800.
