I'm pretty sure Dave Carey (cargostar) offers the LoneStar daycab conversion. He's a member here, so check with him. As for the Kenworth, it sounds like it could either be a W900S or a T800. If it has a set back front axle, it's probably a T800. For that conversion, I'd check with Gary Wallace over at GW Trucks (gwtrucks@yahoo.com). He has the T800, T800W, T800H, & W900S conversions. They're about a mid-1990s cabb.

Great job. You did a really nice job on this combination.

Tamiya Metalic Blue is a good match for the blue that International/Navistar uses on their MaxxForce engines.

Nice decals. So you know, Jim Botatis is a member here. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showuser=7662

Thanks, guys. I think I'm going to use some pinstripe decals from Micro-Scale for the tiny blue stripes. We'll see how ot works out. Since I'm goinf to be using Tamiya paint on this one, and not Dupli-Color automotive paint, I'm thinking bleed through won't be an issue either. Well, at least I'm hoping!

Tony, are those Evan's tires?

Interesting idea. Is this the Lindberg 1/20 kit?

Communication is sometimes a big problem with "some" of them.

Good luck with that!

Where are you getting spray paint for 96 cents?

Very nice. I like what you've done with the Transtar. And that's a really long nosed Transtar! Did they even come that big from the factory?

That's a mighty fine wrecker. Sort of inspires me to finish my W900 tractor. Maybe I should think about picking up this kit.

That's one good looking Cornbinder!!! Very clean.

That's really sweet! I like it a lot. Might have to get one in the near future for a W900.

No, just the exhaust stack itself, not the muffler. I checked one of the K123 kits I have in my stash, and those are tough seams to get rid of on the muffler. Only thing I can suggest is to mut masking tape on both sides of the seam to minimize damage when you are filling & sanding.

Wonder if it comes in yellow?

Are you talking about the seam on the stack itself, or on the muffler guard? For the stack itself, don't worry about the seam, and just slip some 3/16" aluminum tubing over the stack.

Very interesting. I, too, like the "then & now" with the original General and a new General. Very cool. Your cars (like most 1/25 cars) are only missing one thing: drivers! Nice job all around. Darn gophers!

Tha's kind of what I was thinking, too. Either that or The Terminator.

T-1000?

Ok, I voted. We'll see what happens.

That's a really nice combination!

I received an email from Round2 last week, and the Exterior Post Van is scheduled to be reissued in November of this year.

I've only built the GMC General in 1/25, and it's a tough kit. I think they did a Chevrolet Bison in 1/32 as well.

There should be a Freightliner conventional & COE out there, as well as a Ford CL9000. I see them from time to time for sale at some of the shows I go to here in Central New York. Not many though.
