kilrathy10 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Man, I wish I could build a paint booth that big... That's awesome, and this truck and trailer combo is going to ROCK!!!! This is the truck that started it all, for me.... My first Italeri model... I was so impressed with how well it built up, I was forever hooked... Also, I paired it up with the Italeri 48' refer trailer, and it looked good in front of that... This new 53'er will, no doubt, look seriously awesome... Great choice... Wish I'da thought of it...?
gotnitro? Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 The paints flying and it's only 8 days into the build off !!! Man that's looks awesome in red , with the chrome great choice Well done
tbill Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 Started the decals, holy cow, what a pain....
Pete68 Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Bill the pain was worth it that Beautiful keep it going
gotnitro? Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Awesome work !!! Those decals might have been a headache , but really set the cab off . This will be another show stopper !!!
Jim B Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Looking really nice, Tom. You'll be done in no time.
tbill Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 Thanks guys . The upper hood stripe is an odd duck, nothing about it fits properly, not sure what I’m going to do with it, not sure if I should leave it or try to do something different with it......., time will tell I suppose. Over the weekend I got the engine plopped in, and a bit of the cab interior done.

I have made one in 2008. You can see it here Tom, I wouldn't use those engine shilds. They are hidding the engine after all. And be careful with joyning chassis and cab. In my case front wheels didn't match with wheel wels. I was have to move front axle. Edited January 13, 2020 by Sergey
tbill Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 Sergey, that’s awesome! Thanks for posting that, and the info.
tbill Posted February 3, 2020 Author Posted February 3, 2020 Nothing new, but wanted to get my update in just incase I get sidetracked again....
gatorincebu Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Tom, Nice choice of subject. Love your paint job and the decals look pretty good from here ! Be Well Gator
tbill Posted March 8, 2020 Author Posted March 8, 2020 Another no progress update, decals are still bugging me.....
tbill Posted April 4, 2020 Author Posted April 4, 2020 Ok, the stripe job went off the rails, so we changed gears and it’ll be a fleet rig, but a nice one. The trailer will naturally have matching decals.
