  1. Sure looks like a Henry. Or maybe a Marlin.
  2. That turned out great. Nice details, great color.
  3. Check with Dave over at AITM: http://www.aitruckmodels.com/
  4. You can try these guys, but I think they only offer the round hole type: http://www.grdecals.com.au/page8.html
  5. Have fun with this kit. It does go together well, but as usual the tires are bad. One thing that I ran into with my build was the pins for the grill were too long, and hit the radiator causing the hood not to close properly.
  6. Fantatic looking Zero! Wow! That's small. What is that? 1/72?
  7. Build is looking really good. I like the detail you put into the engine.
  8. Nice tractor. For a second there I thought Volvo was making fighters!
  9. I agree, They're decent kits. I have a couple in the stash that are going to be used as doner frames for other COEs.
  10. The Czeh Truck Modell sets come with wipers to replace the 2x4s that come in the AMT kit. I used KFS P/E wipers on mu Astro & Titan, and it really does improve the look of the truck.
  11. Bet you won't do THAT again!
  12. Try Czech Truck Modell: http://www.modelmakershop.com/modelmakershop/index.php?cat=c126_Czech-Truck-Modell.html&XTCsid=2m19t2a03eg0v8hhtt0bp8a6j1 They have a P/E set for the Astro with the small grill & one with the big grill. It's just not always available.
  13. Looking really nice, Brian. If I may make a small suggestion: adding as fifth wheel release handle to the left side of the fifth wheel will dress that up a little.
  14. Jonathan, I'm with you. I'm not sure what I want for Father's Day, but I'm sure my kids will do something in school for me. And with my birthday so close to Father's Day (my Dad always says that I was the most expensive Father's Day gift he ever got ), Father's Day is sort of an anti-climax for me. I'm sure my wife has something planned for me; like spreading top soil & mulch!
  15. The only resin "modern" Cummins engine that I know of is the Aulsowe Signature600. Since this is the predecessor to the ISX, I suppose it could be "updated".
  16. Excellent sculpting, Derrick. I can get scrapple in our local grocery store's freezer case.
  17. We do what we can! Reserve duty? Are you in the Army? What unit?
  18. I agree with Chuck, just do it. I've seen it done before on different trucks, and it looks good. I'm thinking of putting it on either the Paystar or the GMC General as a quad axle truck.
  19. Great model! They sure do stack them on there, don't they!
