Kenny B Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Robert, Very nice job. Reminds me of one I used to drive. well done. Ken.
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Very nice work! I can't stop looking at it.
kilrathy10 Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I also find myself coming back to this one.....I find it amazing.....Moebius has, single handedly, made a lot of old models look awesome simply by adding that 53' trailer to them....So many ideas running through my head for my old AMT, Revell, and Italeri models it ain't even funny.....Awesome job....
Plastheniker Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Robert, this is one of the most beautiful rigs I saw during the past months. Excellent craftmanship and great colour choice. As so often simple colour schemes are the most effective on a model.
BigBad Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks for the nice words guys! When you start with good kits, it sure helps to get good results! This was a fun build!
Kostas Parchas Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I don't know why but I always liked to see Italeri's Freightliner FLCs builds. IMO its a very nice kit. You did an excellent work on it, the 60'' sleeper is adding to the truck and the trailer is fantastic. I like a lot the look of the spreads possitioned far in the rear end. Good job!!!Kostas.
jonnieboy Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 So, it's been a while since the last post, here is one I have finished not long ago. Freightliner FLC with some mild changes from the box, decals from Modeltruckin', photo etch parts like nameplates, flap weights, chicken lights and supports from KFS, drive tires from Auslowe, exhaust stand pipes from the Australian Western Star and sleeper from the FLD kit. The wheels of the Moebius trailer swtched to bigger Italeri rims and tires to better match the truck. most decals on the trailer also from Jerry Reeter. Spread axle with scratch built tool boxes, same flap weights as the freight. Color is Tamya pure white and Duplicolor Ford dark green. great truck , looks great , can i ask how did you the silver so neatly round the doors of the sleeper , also what silver did you use , looks really good , im currently doing a freightliner convensional and would like to know , its my first build , model lol thanks
tbill Posted September 20, 2015 Posted September 20, 2015 wow! what a fantastic clean and neat build. understated beauty right there, just awesome!
BigBad Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 great truck , looks great , can i ask how did you the silver so neatly round the doors of the sleeper , also what silver did you use , looks really good , im currently doing a freightliner convensional and would like to know , its my first build , model lol thanks The trim around the doors is BareMetal foil, it is great for chrome trim! It's basically a self adhesive, very thin aluminum foil, that you peel off, stick to the surface and cut the surplus witha very sharp hobby knife. Easy to find over the internet hobby shops. Thanks for the good words!

Danno Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Boy howdy, that's pretty! Pretty and clean. Great build!!!
#1Volsfan Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 One of the best Freightliners I've seen here! Excellent work Sir.
Goodwrench3 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 That is for sure one of my favorite Freightliners !I've got an FLD in my stash, but for sure need to add an FLC !!
BigBad Posted November 11, 2015 Author Posted November 11, 2015 One of my favorites to build, this truck almost puts itself together and looks great even without mods!
Old Buckaroo Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Wow, that combo is fantastic ! They look so realistic.
chuckyr Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 You hit on a really good combination with this one!
extmcdriver Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 Beautiful work. I love the entire rig, you really hit this one out of the park!!!
