Very nice! I’m very interested to see what you do with this. Ben -
My grandparents had a cattle property (ranch?). I’ve got a few tractors in my collection too. Ben

It’ll be over double the size though. Ben

Hi fellas, looks like Revell is releasing a new tractor. No testshot, but info above the built tractor. Cheers. Ben

I reckon the safari rally version will eventually come out too. I better finish my first one. 😂 Ben

Hi fellas! Looks like Tamiya has got another 240Z in the pipeline. Cheers, Ben https://www.tamiya.com/japan/products/24367/index.html?fbclid=IwAR3CCrq7dtelC_ZcDfmV5kS6Sb7ELrsl-FAbLsiZptLH6JxkexMs4M3zspM_aem_AU5JUdR_zA0Hg9f25Tnjt6jDsjLGYMn4QqbydUuyQ4ffAzspmT5vsTN-7rG6Kw9otGU

That’s awesome! Cheers for sharing. Have you considered selling the cabs and rear ends? They’re awesome. Ben -
I’m curious on how you’re going to do the windows? Your work is ace and cheers for the tip on the lights. Ben

Wow!! That’s awesome! Did you base the Mack rear end off the Revell/Monogram R Series? Ben -

The Future of Revell...for 2024 at least.

Hopefully someone dies window masks for the C8 Corvette, or they (the dark areas of the window) come pre-painted. Cheers Ben -
Very nice! I would love to get one. Ben

The springs are ridiculously good! I think wiring the engine and photoetch seat belts would be as much as you’d need to add. As I don’t have an airbrush going at the moment, I’m swaying towards mica silver as it will lay on easier than the orange. The doors are a problem paint wise. For the model to look good, there’s a seam line that needs filling as the doors are constructed in 2 pieces. But this creates a painting nightmare. Nothing is perfect, but this kit is mighty close! Cheers. Ben

Hi fellas. I’ve started the Tamiya 1/24 GMA T.50. First impressions are it’s a fantastic kit. I’ve been planning how to go about it for a while. The parts fit is excellent. Trying to figure out a colour. Mica Silver like the box art or Pure Orange? The silver might be easier to paint with a rattle can. I plan to paint it using a combination of rattle cans and enamel brush paint for the small detail work. Cheers.

As mentioned already, the future of big rig models is looking like the cottage industry will be it. Mind you, that cottage industry is producing more accurate trucks and better fitting parts. There is a price premium, but you’re getting what you pay. I love the kits that Moebius produced. They’re so good. I’m surprised to hear the sales weren’t as good as expected. I know in Australia, the LoneStar was used as a base kit for the Auslowe Kenworth T904. Ben
