  1. That's really sweet! I like it a lot. Might have to get one in the near future for a W900.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. Tha's kind of what I was thinking, too. Either that or The Terminator.
  6. That's a really nice combination!
  7. I received an email from Round2 last week, and the Exterior Post Van is scheduled to be reissued in November of this year.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. The Cummins Beige I got from Dupli-Color was way too dark; almost brown. I've had good luck with Tamiya Deck Tan XF-55. It might be a little light, but I like it. Also, Scale Finishes offers Cummins Beige.
  11. So you know the Revell USA Peterbilt 352-110 is now out. Picked one up at my LHS for $15.
  12. Outside pics look really nice!
  13. Oh, the hood in the kit is plenty long enough. If you look closely at the 1:1, you'll see that it has the standard hood.
  14. I saw that Ertl made the S-Series in two different versions: F2575 & F2674. The both have the V800 engine, so what's the difference?
  15. Thanks, Anthony. Something a little different, if you know what I mean.
  16. Right here: http://round2models.com/
  17. Maybe Moebius will come out with a 53ft van for their LoneStar. We can only hope.
