Looks like you're off to a good start. Is this one the reissue or an original kit? I picked up two of the reissues. Man it seemed like you'd see one of original kits show up on ebay once in a great while. Then when the auction ended it was always between 200 and 300 dollars.

It's a re issue.I'ld been wanting one ever since I got back into building models several years back.But like you said,I could buy a used car for what they were going for on ebay.I was thrilled when they re released it. I plan on getting another so someday when my skills have advanced I can build one that's heavily weathered.

Man that is a lot of plastic. Look forward to seeing this one built.

Looks good so far. Keep us posted on the progress and anything you run into that might help in building it.

This is coming on well. I bought an original about 2 1/2 years ago. When I was a kid it was one of those kits that I saw advertised on the ertl kit boxes but never saw the actual kit for sale. So when I got back into building model trucks as soon as I saw it I bought it. It is a very good kit. There is a lot of plastic, its big a quite heavy. There are lots of interesting details it even has brake shoes!! For those who like earthmoving equipment this is a must! The only problem with it is, all that yellow. Your eyes start to go blurred after a while. Anyone who wants a V16 Detroit for a heavy hauler then this kit is the one and what a great load for a low boy! I have another Payhauler awaiting build some time in the distant future.

Enjoy the kit. Keep us posted with updates.

Good Luck with the build.
