  1. This model '82-'85 GTS was one of the best looking Supras. Yours does them justice, very nice work!
  2. Well that came out looking quite a bit better than the stock out of box item! I like your detailing, especially the thread plate parts! Very nice.
  3. That is good news, I've got some decals in the past with pinstripe features that were offset and metallic colors that were "chipped" off slightly. Most of the time, I got very good quality stuff though, but for 10 to 12 bucks for a 6x11 inch sheet of paper, I expect top quality material. I'm not the only one seeing this as I have been talking to other guys who just won't order from him anymore. So, good for him for upgrading his machinery.
  4. Pretty good reason! This A-Car looks the business! Nice job!
  5. Great "snake" color!
  6. Just the right height! The wheels remind me of the Pontiac snowflake wheel design, I think that's why your's fit so nicely on the T/A.

    1969 Camaro

    A nice cross between Fathom Green and Rally Green, Nice Camaro!
  8. A beast! This is promising!
  9. Awesome replica of an awesome Kenworth! I really like it. By the way, Auslowe recommends using the Moebius-Revell Lonestar kit as donor. Is that the one you used? I see you have all kinds of stuff of different kits in there, I was wondering. Good job!
  10. These are really good looking (fleet) trucks, you built a nice replica of one we see on the roads all the time, great stuff!
  11. Ohhh an Australian K200 or a (T908 for that matter) would be super nice to get! And a nice change from the usual too. I'd like to make an "Americanized" version of that K200!
  12. I like that dual sleeper cab thing, Tyrone Malone used to have a Kenworth W900 with a similar setup and it looked awesome at the time, I think it also had side pipes...
  13. That is going to be the cherry on top of your build! These photo etch kits are really nice.
  14. Built that kit when I was about 15. It was my first Ertl kit International. I just loved it, went together nicely, looked great and had nice features such as the steering front axle, steering box linkages and a solid tilting cab. The only thing liked less was the long frame and at the time, cutting up a major component such as that was out of the question! I'm going to look for another kit of this. Yours is taking shape nicely man! I'm going to follow this with interest!
  15. Love it! Very tidy work. The stripes and the photo etch kit really makes it stand out. Nice job on the headlights, the inlet and exhaust and all the custom touches, Very nice!
  16. That would be 1 foot =12 inches then divided by 25 (for 1:25 scale of the model) so: 12/25= .48 inch or near 15/32 inch. In other words, if you are able to do so, stretch the frame by 15/32 of an inch. (or a little more for better proportions).
  17. An excellent example of one of my favorite Ferraris! Great job!
  18. I agree with the others but the thing is, those trucks are current and they're going up and down our roads, today! So let's have them, let us who wish so, put engines in them and a steering axle like the other Italeri kits and call it a day. But then again, did they sell really well to start with? It seems popular with some of the guys here and I like it myself having built one, but what about overall sales?
  19. Emergency! That's way back when! Very nice replica, beautiful detailing. What is the engine in this beast?
  20. I just love that paint scheme. I would have made it standard on all K100 of the day! Very nice build, I like the subtle mods on this one, the wheels, single exhaust, door and grab handles, roof airfoil... AND a 8V92... Well done!
  21. You know, in this hobby, anything goes. Unless you want to build something that is realistic and know what the truck is going to be used for. Is this going to pull some heavy duty stuff over a long distance? Have fun with it and make what YOU want!
  22. The new wheels and tires make it look right. The truck looks chunkier and more work ready than the kit's original parts. I like the fuel tanks too. Very nice weathering as well! Keep on going!
  23. A Hotrod WS with a DD, I like it!
