Yes I’m having the same problem with the Mail not because of the holidays either had a package late summer made to my post office then was resent to Omaha NE. I live in Missouri after that it went to Texas and got delivered at a different address. Glad the seller on eBay printed me another set of decals and he got a refund from the postal service. Had one this week I tracked do the same so I called our local office and intercepted it yesterday before it left again because this package could not get replaced. 

Lee mine's been laying in a sorting center in columbus 2 hours from where I live.

while still waiting on decals, I did pick up the donor kit for this build. alot of nice builds being built right now on here.

Real nice box art, sure beats some of the box art when I was a kid looking at models at K- Mart..

You are absolutely right. Round2 has made a big difference when it comes to box art so much eye candy. Also their making the competitive team up their game on their box art. Some say we’re just buying box art these days because some kits are poor quality but I think the box art encourages us to build the the model just like on the box because of the magnificent way it looks. It’s a great time to be a Model Builder these days and the Nah sayer’s don’t realize this.

Agree with you guys, it is a great time to be in our hobby. For me all kits are great opportunities to be creative and aftermarket parts are better than ever even though we have lost some great suppliers of bodies/parts.

yes indeed not to mention the paint availability now being offered.

[Bronzekeg]

well the decals finally arrived at my post office yesterday and should be delivered later today. I did get the tire treads sanded while I have been waiting for the mail.

[Bronzekeg]

the decals came today and were worth the wait. they are nice and crisp and printed in yellow, white, black and dark green. cold weather has set in so I went ahead and ordered piano hinges for the doors. ran across more pics on the web for ideas.

Lots of inspiration!  How will you settle on which version of the colour scheme you’ll go with?

[Jürgen M.]

They all look beautiful! Maybe a sort of mixture of all! 😊

[Gary Chastain]

This is gonna build a cool build, watching

Thanks for sharing Ken they look awesome well worth the wait. I’ve ordered a couple times now from him and the new owner has his act together when it comes to Quality service and Quality decals. My next order I’m planning on ordering this set along with the Flat Bed Truck only ones he now offers. You won’t be disappointed either when applying them they go on great with no issues. 

[Bronzekeg]

thanks all ! I got the doors cut out of the cab today. still trying to narrow down the paint scheme. I think I have it narrowed down to a couple ideas.

[slusher]

You have officially srarted!

[BK9300]

Going to take some lessons on making opening doors!  Might do that in the future.

[Jürgen M.]
