  1. That sure is a big change. Looks pretty good. I like it. Sort of a "home away from home".
  2. Looks like a nice clean build. I like the two-tone paint job. Looks like maroon & yellow. Is that right?
  3. It might be, but I couldn't find it.
  4. You might want to see if you can get a hold of Arjan. Maybe he'll be able to post it on his Fotki site. You'll save a fortune in postage!
  5. You got a point there, dude! Also, if a modern trailer hit the market, there would be chatter about it for months a head of time. Just look at all the talk about the LoneStar. I couldn't tell from the photo, but I thought he might have scratchbuilt it, or something. Mooooo!
  6. Ah! Well, that explains that.
  7. Wow! That's shiney. What did you use?
  8. That is a nice blue. What is it?
  9. In this issue of the kit, it's a Cummins NTC350.
  10. True, and Miami is a suburb of Havana.
  11. Probably wouldn't turn very well, and deliveries would be a nightmare; but I bet it would ride the Interstate really nice.
  12. Does Miami count? Lived there from 1973-1986.
  13. Sounds like it could be an interesting article. What magazine was it in?
  14. Yes, you'll have to resize them. The ones I've downloaed are about 3.25" high x 6.5" wide. I resized them to about .19" high x .4" wide (approximately 6" x 12" in 1/25 scale).
  15. Glad to help. I've "downloaded" a bunch of plates as well. All I need is to get some BMF decal paper, and print them up.
  16. Ryan, Here are some sites that you can download actual plates from. All you need to do is resize them. http://www.moini.net/home.html http://www.plateshack.com/
  17. This is looking really nice. Should be quite impressive when it's done. Are you going to load it wath cars?
  18. How about this: Caterpiller 3408? Now, you're an armor guy, so this might interest you as well: W900 P/E Set
  19. Welcome to truck modeling! Engine color is a "hot topic" of debate within the community. So, here goes. Out of the box, this Kenworth W900 is about a 1972-82 (give or take a little). If your truck will be a 1972 to about 1978 truck, the engine should be white. After that, it should be New Caterpiller Yellow.
  20. Nice job on the lift cylinders. It was worth the effort.
