Yep, same stuff: 24awg tinned copper.

Nicely done. Is that a bug screen on the front of the grill?

Looks good. I like it. Is that telephone wire for the air lines?

Sounds interesting. Your hood should be there early next week.

Nice looking 4-1/4, Dave. I like the detail you're putting into this.

Here's the link: KFS

That's definately different!!

Earl, that's really sad to hear. My models have had several run-ins with my cats over the years as well.

Nice job, Jim. What did you use on your fifth wheel & where did you ger the Detroit Diesel logos for the flaps?

Dave, that's beautiful! Ok, now I really want one!

The wing is from Eric (Porky). I did narrow it down to 72" (scale) from 84". The real Turbo Wings are only 72" wide.

I think I have a Revell of Germany hood that you can have. As for the wing, check with Eric (Porky). I used his on this W900: It's perfect for the Aerodyne sleeper. You will have to scratchbuild a bracket, though.

I managed to get three done this year: 1976 GMC Astro/95 1980 Kenworth W900 1975 Fruehauf Amoco Tank Trailer Started in 2010 are a 1975 Wilson Livestock Trailer, a 1973 Kenworth W900L, 1976 Mack R685ST, and a 1976 Kenworth K100.

Dave, we can only hope! Oh, and write lots of letters.

Thanks. That's Testors Dark Red brush paint on the seats, walls & floor; Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black (X-18) & Brown (X-9) on the dash; the blanket is Tamiya Olive Green (XF-58), and the sheet & pillow are Tamiya Flat White (XF-2). Dash hilights are picked out with Testors Silver & a toothpick. Steering wheel, steering column & shifter are Tamiya Semi-Gloss Black. I think I used BMF on the door latches & window cranks.

Always nice to see something different. I like them.

I had pretty good results with the Testors Dark Red.

Looks good with the flatbed. Nice job.

Almost sounds like it would be easier to start with either the AMT Fruehauf van or the AMT Great Dane van for the suspension then scratch-build everything else.

Nice job on the drums.

Is there a way to correct the Italeri 53ft USA Trailer?

Looks pretty good with the trailers. I wonder if a 1/24 trailer would "fit" better due to the newer width laws. Tim, I couldn't help but notice; who's the blond in the background? (I might be married, but I'm not dead!)

I used straight Tamiya Deck Tan XF-55 on this one. It's pretty close.

And how do you make the chains? I'm hoping to add a set to my Garrett Freight International 4300 whenever I get around to building it. And I'll probably need to make a set if I ever do a Carlile T800.

I'm guessing that you REALLY want one!!!
