  1. Pretty nice load! Now go wash that Freightshaker!
  2. It's more than ok in my book!
  3. Chrome spoke wheels just look wrong on any truck. Or you could do like the Australians do: keep the wheel rims chrome (polished aluminum) and paint the spokes and hubs.
  4. Yeah. It seems most companies are so worried about their royalties and copyrights they forgot how much of an advertising tool "toys" really are. Or perhaps they do and they make us pay for it. Twisted, isn't it?
  5. Sweet lookin' K100 you have there. Colors go well together, nice mix of snap kit parts! Nice custom touches here and there, good job!
  6. & & HEY! This is for the W900L! LOL! Kiddings aside, I would love to see a Titan in scale.
  7. My favorite Road Runner gen. Looks great in yeller and black!
  8. Looks great, good color, gotta love those deep dished rally wheels... Everything's great! I miss that deep dished wheel look, nowadays every car has "flat looking" positive offset wheels,even the muscle cars... So sad.
  9. There you go. Sometimes you get kinda tired jumping through hoops. And the results for all the efforts could be so-so.
  10. Understood. I agree with you, especially with a T660! Not too warm to the T700 but it would be all new. If we could get one of those 660's I'd be as happy as can be. I could easily build a W900 with a kit like that. I'm aware that there were some W900L conversions but they are not available anymore. Besides, if there was T660 I'm pretty sure somebody a that company would think of doing a W900. Or somebody out there would make a conversion for it and even a T800. I appreciate your input! This one looked like it lost On a side note... I saw a T660 daycab pulling a flatbed today, without exhaust stacks... Yes the exhaust was exiting under the truck. And some people think aerotrucks look stupid. This one looked like it was missing something important. It wasn't a pretty sight.
  11. That is good news. Now let's have the Freightliner FLD120 before the real ones disappear completely from our roads... Please?
  12. This guy never ceases to amaze me. Impressive job!
  13. When was the last time you actually found these conversions from Porky? His mold is broken and from what Eric (Porky) told me, twice, he was supposed to repair it (That was over a year ago). Me thinks it's probably beyond repair or he's not interested to do it. There are some conversions for the older T800 too, That is right, but not for the latest model. I also agree with you on the T660 or T680, I'd love to get one of those. OR, I could go and find an AMT T600 for around 35$ plus shipping, a Moebius Lonestar at 50 bucks plus shipping, and a conversion kit of the W900B at 90$ (plus shipping) that P&P resin still has. That should cost me oh, over 200$ And I'm still not finished with the modifications. I have to modify the hood's trailing edge, the cab roof angle, mold it to the sleeper cab roof, modify the door window shapes, the dashboard, the steering wheel, the exhaust stack shields, the engine won't be right and so on. You understand where I'm standing now? I still want one. Done to death? Not so sure. I've rarely seen one in these columns.
  14. Man, it seems like nobody out there is interested in producing this road icon! I'd buy ten of them right away if Moebius Italeri or RoG would get a kit out! (AMT-Round2 might get serious about this someday, who knows?) The possibilities for this kit would be like... Endless! Am I right or am I right! They even could produce the oh so popular T800 and also a T660 with the interchangeable parts. The same way they produced the Lonestar and the Prostar. Moebius and Kenworth W900=killer combination. Does anybody really need a business case for this one? Make it and they WILL come!
  15. Speaking of the Kenworth T600, while I know it's not quite accurate, I also think it's a good base for more modern Kenworths. I also think it would make a good candidate for a T660 conversion. Moebius, contact Paccar asap! We NEED a W900L and a T660! Those would be sooooo awesome!
  16. Yep, RoG looks better. Count me in for 2 sets Richard.
  17. The super singles on the truck might a little wide, but man they're killer! I'd like to see some'a those in 1:1! It's a custom job with lotsa chrome, the extra width can be forgiven, no?
  18. Gotta get me one of those trans-kits someday.
  19. Yes sir! With an 8V71? Cool! Chosen the color scheme yet?
  20. The AMT Fruehauf flatbed is one nice kit. Easy to build if you take the time to do it. Pretty easy to detail too. It could use some more optional stuff to use on, but it works. Versatile too, you can cut this one up to make like half a dozen variations! Good start to your project!
  21. Nice conversion kit. I like this one quite a bit. Like Tim said, it's going to be a tough looking mother!
  22. That is intriguing! Can't wait to see development on this beast!
