As a life-long RW fan, this is one spectacular build!

I got my Salvinos JR #9 Chase Elliott Camaro on the bench, looks great so far, such accuracy for the Next Gen car.

Moebius Lonestar + 53'er

Thanks everyone! I call it the Turquoise Express -
Actually this is under the Ohio sun, not glass! Over 36" from bumper to bumper My best looking rig ever Tractor is 100% stock; trailer tires swapped out with wide super savers

I just picked this kit up a couple hours ago. I didn't realize that Revell was giving us full chassis again with better interiors, engine, fuel cell details. Looking forward to building this one. Finally a body that requires painting instead of those pre-decorated cars. Surprised at how thin the plastic is compared to older NASCAR kits.

Thanks to unseasonably warm temperature in NW Ohio today, got this one sprayed. It's matched to go behind my Moebius Lonestar painted the same Model Master Turquoise. I skipped the reefer option so that chrome front bulkhead is visible. It will ride on super saver wide tires that I bought off Ebay.

Italeri 1/24 Volvo VN 780
weirich1 posted a topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Just started assembly last night; going together well. The best part of the kit: the frame because I always seem unable to get one straight. I also appreciate the multi-color plastics, will save some time and money on painting areas that are usually hidden under body panels. The self-adhesive chrome decals are simply stunning. I have found two major flaws: 1. the top spoiler has a tiny crack and a little piece missing; 2. the battery box is chunked out on the back, mounting pegs gone, cracked, only saw a couple of shards in bag. Both areas are in repair currently and are salvageable. Tires and wheels are together, look great. I swapped out the rears for super saver wide tires I bought from an ebay seller. I am surprised the kit manufacturers have not started including super savers, but that would be a major cost for them. -

I appreciate all the compliments; I refer to the truck as "the Beast" -
Quick build due to pre-painted body and charcoal gray chassis. Great decals to add the finishing touches. The F-350 is it's work bench buddy build.

Finally finished after sitting idle for a year. Added some Super Swampers for extra height and aggressiveness. I left out the plastic grill insert for a piece of metal screen. What a beast! The Foose Vette was finished at the same time, nice car to compare it to.
