kustombuilder1 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I don't build many big rigs, but here's one that caught my eye for shear low price. Turns out, it's worth it. The detail is very good considering the relatively low parts count. I built it out of the box using the kit supplied decals. It's painted Duplicolor GM Medium Garnet Pearl. Didn't have any purple as it is shown on the box art. If United Trucking is a real company, I hope they don't mind I painted one of their trucks red instead of purple . The engine is painted Rustoleum's "American Accents" enamel, a color called Honey, which is fairly close to Cat yellow. Hope you like it.

Jim B Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Very nice build. Nice color choice, too. Personally, I don't think United Trucking is a real company. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 What's goin' on... Well done! I'm going to keep an eye out for that color paint. I'm guessing you picked it up at Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlockLyle Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I like this truck. I have this kit in progress as a custom rig. BTW, United Trucking is an actual company. Here's their site: http://www.unitedtrucking.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Your color choice is perfect! The decals are a play on the patriotic theme with the USA flag stars and stripes. United Trucking. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kustombuilder1 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 What's goin' on... Well done! I'm going to keep an eye out for that color paint. I'm guessing you picked it up at Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts? Any Parts store that sells Duplicolor can get it. My favorite happens to be O'Reilly Auto Parts, but I'm sure Autozone or Advance would have it too. the Duplicolor # is DSGM380. Thanks for the good words folks, they mean a lot to me. I'd build big rigs more, but they usually cost more than my budget allows, and I'm strapped for time a lot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
