As a kid, I built an AMT Freightliner COE w/ sleeper and I've always wanted to do another one. I was told on one model forum that there had been a copyright issue over the White Freightliner name, but that's apparently been resolved since a daycab Freightliner COE was released in the last year or so. So, any idea if the molds for the COE w/ sleeper are still intact? I can't afford the car payments these things sometimes bring on Evil-Bay... :cry: PS I suck @ scratchbuilding, so I don't wanna buy the daycab version and try to modify it.

Jeff, I like how your engine came out but I'm looking for the darker blue (sometimes called Corporate blue). If you're saying the acrylic Ford/GM engine blue starts out too dark, maybe I'll start there... I winder if real engine enamels would be too hot or too thick for this :?

1) Years ago, Testors Model Master paints included #2727, which was Ford Engine blue. Sometime since then, they changed this to Ford/GM engine blue, which is considerably lighter in color. Growing up. we had nothing but Fords, so I know what color I'm looking for. Where can I find real Ford engine blue in a hobby enamel (or good acrylic)? 2) If I wanted to do a 3-color car with Tamiya lacquers, spraying the lightest coat first etc, how long do I need to wait to mask and shoot the 2nd and 3rd colors? PS This looks like an awesome board. Glad I stumbled across it!
