1/25 Big Rig Models

After years of waiting, due to display space, I have decided to build a Semi Truck. I recently purchased the AMT kit pictured here. I will be doing a slightly customized rig and could use some reference material and aftermarket supply, resin or 3D. Also, any tips would be appreciated! This will become a winter project, so I do have time to gather thoughts and parts before starting, thanks in advance for the help.

I've had good luck finding what I need online from Auslowe Model Accessories, ST Supply and CTM (Czech Truck Model).  ST Supply sells items from both Auslowe and CTM, but don't always have the full line offered on the individual sites for Auslowe and CTM.

Good luck with your build!

If I remember correctly the front axle as assembled is too wide. With aftermarket wheels it might not be as much of an issue but something to keep on mind. I believe most folks end up leaving the brake drums off as an easy fix.

And I think the headlights are a little high as well.

The multi piece body was an issue for me, I ended up filling the seams and sanding it smooth. Before paint I used some rivet decals to replace sanded rivets.
