    That looks sweet, Chris. Very, very nice. Will the kit be available through Sourkraut?

    Here, don't reinvent the wheel. This might help get you started: 3406 Detailng. Did you try Truck Paper? Sometimes there are decent engine pics.

    I believe the engine in the repop International 4300 is an International V800. I think the Cummins V903 was in the International 4200 kit.

    Apparently, the closest color to the blue that Internationl used is Testors Model Master Auto Lacquer 1969 Ford Metallic Acapulco Blue.

    This is looking really nice. I'd be interested in a wing. I need one for a Peterbilt 359.
  7. Jim B
    That looks amazing! How did you do the dash? What did you use for toggle switches? Very cool. And I love the wing.
  8. Jim B
    Thanks. I'm going to see if I can track it down.
  9. Jim B
    Looks good, Dave.
  10. Jim B
    That's a good idea! I was told theat Testors Model Masteres Automotove Laquer Metallic 1969 Ford Acapulco Blue was a good match for the blue that International used on the V-800.

    Tim, that Dupli-Color Aluminum paint, is that DE1615?
  12. Jim B
    I thought the higest HP for the N-14 was 525.
  13. Jim B
    Awesome!

    Looking good, Tim. I like how the "High Heat" Aluminum looks on the livestock trailer. Might have to look into that. Doesn't look like it will be as bright as "Bumper Chrome", and that's a good thing. Diggin' the green, too.

    This one: http://public.fotki.com/turbo590/fulton-model-car-an/dsc04849-jpg.html ? I think it's something Daniel from Plaskit was working on.

    1979 works for me!
  17. Jim B
    Very nice! Your weathering looks realistic.

    That's a sweet looking conversion, dude. There's a couple of 9300 dumps owned by Resmussen running around here in CNY.
  19. Jim B
    If it's the same as the 1/25 kit (and it looks like it might be), I'd say it's a 1970 or 71.
  20. Jim B
    I think it's about a 1975 or so.
  21. Jim B
    No problem. Glad to help. This is sort of aa "on-going" discussion among truck modelers. It comes up often.
  22. Jim B
    Since it's in a Kenworth, and you say that it's early 1970s; the engine should be white. If you don't want white, Cummins painted their engines beige back then; and Tamiya Deck Tan XF-55 is a pretty good match. Personally, I'd go with white.
  23. Jim B
    I wondered what you were going to do with that 330 hood. Is the 330 the Peterbilt equilivent of the Kenworth T370? what cab are you going to use? I like the colors on your 378. It's really quite nice. I saw on your site you built (or are building) the Lindberg van trailer. How's the fit? Is it accurate?
  24. Jim B
    Wow! That's awesome. You are a Master Craftsman.
  25. Jim B
    Interesting concept. Any shots of the finished product on a model (or test subject)?
