Pavel A. Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Hi all modellers.... I´m from Slovakia. I started with this hobby before 18 years, with one 7 years long pause. Because the children was too small and dangerous. This is my second truck model after pause. Diamond Reo from AMT. This is my first kit from AMT. Here in Slovakia we made trucks mainly from revell and italeri. The price of this firms are on same level (30-50 eur). So, let´s go to the truck. At the first I must to tell you, that this kits is based on my idea. It´s not copy of real truck. As based I used revell synt. color 61. Clear coat is excellent Super clear lll. as the spray gun I´m using H/S Infinity 2in1. PE parts are from excellent Czech Truck Model (http://www.liaznavzdy.cz/nedtrans/ctm.php), from Model car garage and from cans from some energy drinks . The antena is made of guitar string 0,35 or 0,36 mm. Domain sources, you know it... The chrome frome all parts is removed and replaced by Alclad. And of course, sorry for my english. So, lets go to photos (the last few are from workbench): Edited March 9, 2014 by Pavel A.

Jim Whalen Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Hi, Great build - these were not easy kits to put together. Thanks for the info on the suppliers as well, I'll have a look at Czech Truck Model too. Am I right in believing they do photo etched grilles for Kenworths? Don't worry about the English - we understood what you were saying and that, after all, is the purpose of language! Cheers, Jim
