  1. I'm assuming that this is supposed to be Ireland? Maybe a roadster, like a Bently or an Aston Martin. Didn't James Bond drive a silver Aston Martin DB5?
  2. Depending on the year, in this case the late 1970s, gold would be an appropriate choice. I've found that Tamiya Gold Leaf X-12 is pretty close. The 300-Plus ETAZ-673A was copper colored.
  3. You're logger looks really nice. I like the subtile weathering, and the details. That dash is really pretty (I didn't think I'd ever say that about a Paystar). Excellent job so far.
  4. Wow! That looks incredible!
  5. RMR has some truck stuff. They have a White 3000, Dodge Bighorn, Dodge CNT900, and some really old (1950s) Ford, Dodge, & Chevrolet COEs.
  6. It isn't just you. I can't see them either. I see eliote is at it again.
  7. Nice job on the deflector mounts.
  8. Nice little dio. What type of car will be going in front of it?
  9. Nice job, Miguel. Looks like it could be a house in Maimi, too. Was this for a client as well? And who's this "eliote" guy?
  10. No, Gary at GW Trucks doesn't have a Website, but if you email him at GW Trucks, he'll send you a print catalog.
  11. Was it just me, or did the "In Tandem" episode end too soon? What happens after they cross the bridge?
  12. Oh, that's right! On the 3406 the oil pan is molded onto the block. Forgot about that. I'll have to give it some thought. We just might have to get creative.
  13. When you have a set back axle truck, you have to switch the oilpan around.
  14. Is it the sump or the oilpan itself that hits the axle? If it's the sump, you can just stich the oilpan around.
  15. I recently purchased the AMT White Road Boss from a LHS. What was wrong with the rear spokes? Just so I know what to look for when I open the kit.
  16. Yes, the V800 was blue. All other engines the International put into their trucks at their time were International 2150 Red (apparently Testors Red 1203 is a good match), but they wanted this one to "stand out". I'm not sure when International switched to OEM colors for the other engines that were offered in their trucks.
  17. The engine that's in the International 4300 is the International V800. I've heard that Testors Model Masters Auto Laquer Metalic 1969 Ford Acapulco Blue is pretty close. Here, this article might help: Detailing the International V800. Well, it couldn't hurt, anyway.
  18. Wow! That's a big chunk of resin! Nice Yellow engine.
  19. The AMT/Ertl/Esci Kenworth Aerodyne are all the same kit. They are based on the Tyrone malone Papa & Hideout trucks, so they have long frames & the Kenworth 8-bag air ride suspension.
  20. So far, so good. What's your "ultimate" plan with this? Reason I ask is if you're thinking fleet truck, stick with the Series 60. If you're thinking Owner-Operator either engine will be fine.
  21. That looks really nice. I like it. I think this is the only way I've ever seen a 1:1 L700. Well, pictures anyway. I've never actually seen a L700.
  22. I've used Dave's from AITM, and they're quite nice. Daniel from PlasKit also has some nice 2-hole Budds.
  23. It's too bad Speed Channel doesn't stream old episodes.
