    That's really cool. Great job.
  2. Jim B
    Never seen that before!

    Check with The Model Maker Shop. He has them listed in the "Additional Parts" section. They're made by Czech Truck Modell.

    Chris & Tim, thanks for the compliments. I think if I build this kit again I'll do a straight truck of some kind. They seemed to be the most popular. Tractors not so much.

    Nice Boss! Are those the wheels that come in the kit?

    Nice work. I like the gold Scania best, but they're all really nice.

    I agree, this kit will try the patience of a Saint. That being said, it does look nice when it's done. Here's one I finished a couple of years ago: Mine always look a little "down in the nose", if you know what I mean. And I think I had parts left over. Hmmm.

    Last I heard, Eric had most of Matt's 1/25 stuff. Matt is starting a 1/16 line.

    Great job on the rock hauler. I like the weathering. It looked nice as an expiditor, too.

    That's one really nice Peterbilt. Is that the kit engine painted yellow? The famous "Detroitpiller".

    Nice & shiney!! What did you use on the wings to make them so shiney?
  12. Jim B
    Tht's really slick. I like the blue, too. Nice job so far.

    I know you said that you don't want to deal with online companies, but I highly recommend Dennis over at Model Express. He's always been fair, has the LoneStar for $49.97CND, and he's in British Columbia. Take a look.

    Great detail pics. I like how the hood, cab, & box are all different shades of orange.

    Those are some nice Peterbilts.
  16. Jim B
    Looks really nice!

    Looking good, Kostas. I'm sure it will be really nice when it's done. Wow, I thought Tim had a lot of Peterbilt kits!

    You are partially right, though. Kenworth Australia trucks are manufactured in Australia, and not imported from the US. The global headquaters is in Kirkland, Washington, just outside of Seattle. Aren't the Australian Kenworths assembled in Victoria?

    That's really, really nice. Great job.

    Did you try Fred's Model World? Sometimes he has Aerodynes. And Dennis over at Model Express sometimes has them as well.

    That is a pretty good price. Of course air fare from New York to colorado might be a problem.

    Thatks for the tips on the Italeri Container Trailer. I think it would look good behind the LoneStar. Now I just have to find one at a reasonable price. One day! Yes, I agree. As for a new modern trailer kit, I think Moebius will come through long before Itlaeri or Revell does.

    Speaking of modern trailers, how modern & accurate is the Italeri 40ft Container Trailer? From just driving down the highway, it seems that 40ft containers are pretty common. In fact there is a Schnider driver that lives here in town that seems to always be hauling one.

    These look really familiar. I think my LHS (JR Junction) has them in stock. If they are the same ones (and I think they are) they are about 1/32. If you'd like me to, I can head down there later this week & check them out.

    Have any LoneStars made it onto the European roads yet?
