Nice work. Ben

Another reason the lonestar sells so well in Australia is its used as a base kit for the Auslowe T904/8/9 Kenworth. Ben G.

I don't know many aftermarket companies who 100% master parts and don't at least have a bit of stuff in their range that started life as say and amt ertl part (camel back mack suspensions comes to mind). Aftermarket engine kits as well. I agree. There would be big interest in the USA/Canada for a pete 379, but it would sell fairly well in Australia in Europe. I really would like a Mack, but I'm content at the moment to play with the Prostar till the K200 Kenworth comes out next year. The Europeans on the Facebook pages seem to model australian trucks a lot as well so time will tell about the K200 and drake low loader being good sellers. By the looks of the auslowe Facebook page a lot of people (me included) have preordered. Ben G.

Very nice work. Ben

Wow. What great news. Would love to see the 1/32 scale trucks make a reappearance and Mack trucks as well. Ben

It can't hurt. Definitely check that article though. It's in newsagents in Australia so should be in your news agents. Cheers Ben

I plan to get another one. I've got the decals as well but decided not to use them. I've bitten off more than I can chew with this project. I've been using the photo etch and that's been great. I usually build trucks. Car models are crazy. There is a really good article in the tamiya model magazine regarding the construction of the LaFerrari. I would have loved to have read that before starting this project. Will be saving to get another one on the go once I finish this one and get my Mack muster stuff done. Cheers Ben

Hi Fellas. Small update. I am stripping the primer from the body panels and re doing them with etch primer. It's a bit flakey. Heres my bit of progress. I'm surprised no one on this forum has finished a tamiya version. Cheers. Ben

That I've built and or seen in person: Moebius prostar and lonestar Tamiya porsche carrera gt Amt ertl mack dm600 and dm800 Ben

Very nice. Ben

I'm a Mack man, but that is beautiful. Ben

I reckon DRLs are great idea. Especially when driving toward the sun in the morning or evening. My car come with led DRLs and they don't blind people. Cheers Ben

Wow. I think everyone needs to chill out. Ill continue to buy Moebius products if the subject they make interest me. I don't think I've ever seen a perfect model because it doesn't exist. I'm really hanging out to see what they will come up with next for class 8 truck fans. Cheers. Ben

KFS from the UK also has some chain binders etc. Ben

I'm surprised no one has had a go at this. Ben

I reckon current trucks would be more financially viable. I agree the aftermarket has a lot of older stuff sorted. Cheers. Ben

Cheers Dave for the clarification. Having built 2 Lonestars, one out of the box, one as a base for an Auslowe Kenworth T904 conversion and currently building a Prostar, Moebius needs to keep going down the heavy truck path. I'm certain if you get a modern KW, Peterbilt, Mack or Freightliner out, (I'm a Mack man and I think a KW or Peterbilt would sell the most) it will sell like hotcakes. Drake Trailers Australia is doing the K200 KW and a Drake trailer. Heaps have been pre ordered. I look foreward to the future. Ben

Hi Fellas. Just a small update. Great kit. Trying real hard to get the body work right. Cheers. Ben

Well done! I've got a Tamiya LaFerrari on the go. Ben

Looks pretty good to me. Ben

I currently have 4 amt Mack R685st trucks. Love that truck. Only built one when I was a kid. That one is scraped now though. Ben

I ordered my 2 off eBay. Plenty of them on there. Ben

Check out auslowe on Facebook. They have a rhd dash for the Australians and the sleeper and sunvisor for the California hauler. Ben

Nice work. Good to see more Aussies on here. Ben

Cheers for sharing. Ben
