  1. I've seen these trucks in Erb livery, too.
  2. I wonder how long it will take thw aftermarket guys to make conversion kits for this kit to make other modern Internationals.
  3. Looks nice. I like the orange. I thought the AMT kit was a 352? I'm so confused!!!
  4. Dude! Your killing me!!! I guess you might not be able to amswer this yet; but does Moebius plan on other trucks in the future, or is sort of a "wait & see" depending on the sales of the LoneStar?
  5. That looks really nice. Wasn't NNL East last weekend?
  6. Looks really nice, Scott. Your trailers are always so well detailed.
  7. That looks really nice.
  8. Eric, Do you still have the copies of the instructions I sent to you? Maybe you could scan them in (or use the document setting on your camera) to show how it looks. If not, I can do it. Those assembly drawings should help.
  9. No problem. Now, you kow the rules: good luck, have fun, post pics!
  10. Here's an article that might help in your quest: Coneverting Revell of Germany Lowboy into a 3-Axle RGN
  11. Thanks, Dave. I'm partial to the W900 as well. And there's just soemthing about Kenworths & Cummins. I think they just go together. The NTC350 is actually beige on this model; not white. Must be over exposure or something making it look white because I used Tamiya Deck Tan XF55. It's pretty close to Cummins Beige.
  12. No, the black is Dupli-Color Gloss Black with a Dupli-Color Gloss Clear Coat. The metallic effect is due to either my poor painting abilities or by photographic skills (or lack there of).
  13. Just so you guys don't think I've been a total slacker, here are some pics of my latest creation. This started life as the 1991 issue of the Monogram Kenworth Aerodyne (the orange one). What I've done so far is replaced the Caterpillar 3406A with a Cummins NTC350 Big Cam III. (Can I call it a Big Cam III even if it only vaguely resembles one?) Still need to add the AC pump, and figure out the air intake. Painted it gloss black with a semi-gloss black chassis. I have added KFS P/E logos to the hood, and they will go on the sleeper as well. KFS P/E stacks will replace the kit stacks. Lots more to do.
  14. Ok, now that we know what it is, who's going to build one?
  15. Ryan, nice looking KW. Looks good as a daycab. Yes, I agree, a low-bow would look good behind it. Matthew, nice rack!
  16. There were some nice looking trucks there. Thanks for sharing.
  17. Will this help: Car Model March 1973?
  18. Save your nickles! Apparently it's not going to be an inexpensive kit. I've heard MSRP $95 US. I REALLY hope I'm wrong.
  19. They have a lot of nice articles on that site, and they're relitively inexpensive. And Sergey's article is 5% off.
  20. Very nice, Sergey. Very nice indeed.
  21. Great job on that Paystar! It looks very realistic. Fantastic detailing. Good luck at NNL east this weekend.
