wee bit of help

[Chad]

hey guys so I finally decided on what trailer to use with this lonestar kit....I am actually doing a little bit of custom work on my CF tandems...I have replaced ALL the outer wheels with aluminum style and I'll be adding some "UPS Brooms" above the tires, the truck and trailers are both all painted gloss black with pearl clear coat. however I have run into a dilemma....I am thinking about making it an O/O for Erb, or Moebius( spelling ) transport, I need more decals. if anyone has 2 sets of either one they can spare please let me know....

also if I recall correctly, this run of Cummins engine were bright red in the trucks right? I can't remember, and I really hope so because I painted mine bright red...

What Cummins engine are you using, and what are you puting it in?

[Chad]

the maxxforce 15 in the lonestar kit. I am leaving it in the lonestar just couldn't remember what color to use to realistically detail the motor.

The MaxxForce15 is a Navistar engine. According to a friend of mine that works for International, Tamiya Metallic Blue X-13 is almost dead on for the color of the MaxxForce engines. He also told me "the front cover and oil pan should be aluminum; the filters should be white, not black as indicated; rocker cover is flat black, not silver; and the rest of the colours it calls for are pretty much spot on."

Dang it, for some reason I thought it was a cummins . I painted it bright red thinking it was a cummins.....guess I need to correct it next time on the next truck cause it's already in the truck now.

Guess you could call it a CumForce or a MaxxUmins, or something!
