Ken Gilkeson Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I have never built this kit before. Still getting ideas before I start. like the spoked wheels and square fuel tanks. not fond of the stack, may go with the under frame exhaust. would like something different color wise. they just opened a hobby lobby near by with a large color selection. decisions, decisions.
TECHMAN Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 ??? Cool kit..... Are you gonna build a "fleet" type rig or O/O ??? Am sure you already know this Ken, but be sure to take a 40% off coupon in with you into the Hobby-Lobby (it's on their web-site). Definitely helps!!!! DJ
gotnitro? Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 Definitely a good kit to create different styles ! If your looking to go more modern, detail master sells a grill photo etch set that's super nice. Theres so many options , the choices are endless. I may have a spare set of round tanks if your interested in them

Ken Gilkeson Posted August 25, 2019 Author Posted August 25, 2019 engine and transmission assembled, needs detailed. still undecided on colors.

Sam I Am Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 I will be following. I have a pile of parts in the stash that might be three Macks...
Ken Gilkeson Posted August 26, 2019 Author Posted August 26, 2019 chassis about ready for paint. I have a light blue that might look nice on the frame.
Ken Gilkeson Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 got paint on the chassis, going to be weathered.
DrKerry Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Ooohhh missed this one.... Looking great so far Ken!! I'd like to get that kit someday but have many others ahead of it... Looks to be a nice kit though with good detail in it!!! Can't wait to see yours come together, who knows it may move mine higher on the want list....
Ken Gilkeson Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 thanks guys, starting to weather chassis.
