Superpeterbilt Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Does the work include some new tires ?? hint hint... Read the beginning of the thread
KJ790 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Yes it does. My goal is to have a wide variety of tires, rims, chassis parts, and hopefully some conversion kits done by the end of the year. I have masters for most of these, it is just time consuming to make molds and cast all of these all at once. I have to work on one at a time. I should be rolling out a new product every 2 weeks or so.
vincen47 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Looking forward to more, I really appreciate your work. I may be putting in an order soon.
KJ790 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 Is there any interest in an updated dash for the Revell W900 snap kit?
Jim B Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Hmm, let me think about this for a second....YES!!! Would this also be used in a 1992 T600B, or did they still use the flat dash? Edited October 3, 2014 by Jim B

Petetrucker07 Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Im standin next to a 2000 t800 right now, it has the flat dash with the angled switch box
KJ790 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 Im standin next to a 2000 t800 right now, it has the flat dash with the angled switch box Yeah, most were completely flat until around 1996ish, then they were flat with an angled switch box for a few years, then they became more of the wrap around dash. If I remember correctly, the Aerocab models got the wrap around dash when they came out in the mid 90's though (or perhaps it was just an option at the time, I'm not sure).
redneckrodder Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 that would be cool...man i need about four jobs to prepare to buy all the good stuff thats coming around
KJ790 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 This week's new product, dump truck exhaust pipes!
phoneguy Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Unfortunately I do not have an Alps printer, hopefully someday. This is why my decal selection is limited at the moment. The decals are printed on Papilio waterslide decal paper. This works well for small decals. but is not ideal for every type of decal. I hope to, but I have a lot of work to do before then! If you didn't know, ALPS discontinued production of their printers in 2010, and cartridges are supposed to be discontinued in 2015. That is one of the reasons I moved away from the ALPS, not to mention the cost of getting them repaired. thankfully I found something a lot more durable and still prints white.
KJ790 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Would there be any interest in some Carrier reefer units?
Petetrucker07 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I might want 1 or 2, how about the new thermoking unit too
Jim B Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 KJ, have you considered a 1/32 scale line of wheels & tires to replace the ones that come in the Revell USA snap kits? For wheels I was thinking of 6-spoke Mack wheels (front & rear) for the CF600 & R600; 10, 5, & 2 hole wheels for the Ford AeroMax & Kenworth T600; 5-spoke & 2 hole trailer wheels for the tank trailer that comes with the R600. Isn't there a Freightliner, too? There are also the AMT 1/32 kits that are out there, and their wheels & tires are too small. Just an idea.
Petetrucker07 Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 255x70x22.5 tires would be cool. I have a project that needs quite a few. 48 to be exact but could make do with 24. And 10 hole alcoas to go with them. Oh and stemco hubs. 12 or 24 of those. In 1/24.

It seems like most kits are in 1/24 or 1/25 scale. I could probably do some 1/32 scale things if enough people show interest.
redneckrodder Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 i would only be interested if the parts would work on the new ray diecast trucks too...such as sleepers and cabs and such
Jim B Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I suppose that there is a moderate following on 1/32 scale trucks. You are correct, though; must of the builds are 1/25 & 1/24 withy a smattering of 1/32 & 1/16.
KJ790 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 Tired of the Revell snap kit 359 models not coming with a sun visor? Problem solved: I also now have steps for the side of a dump box or dump trailer:
Petetrucker07 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Finally, a visor for the pete. The steps look good man
Jim B Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Nice visor. Are you planning one for the snap W900?
