Evening fellas! I decided to take a break from armor and camo.Built this on another forum.Cut my teeth so to speak building these 30 some years ago and had to see if i still had it in me to build one again.Hope you like it.  BTW...You haven't built a real model till you build one of these.The parts are numbered on the instructions and there are no numbers on the sprues.Flash like you wouldn't believe and really ill fitting parts.

You're going to have to crew up that there Big Rig, Leon! Have you seen these (they're newly released)? These are pretty recent too... If you need something at a lower (unit) cost, there's three drivers in this accessory kit:

Judging by the points you mentioned about the instructions and parts, you whooped this one good!

Thank you John! Thinking about doing another one,but not to soon.  Brian,thank you! Believe me i used quite a few choice words trying to get the tanker halves glued together.  Took me almost an hour to get the two halves to a point where they lined up half descent to glue. |

Having recently built AMT trucks and trailers I can vouch for your comments; they are vile and take dedication to assemble.
In spite of the former you've done a spectacular job on this set brother

Mark

That really is rather very good and is clearly a demonstration in extreme patience.

WHEN will there be more modern trucks to choose from. But, I’m wondering about an oldie from the movie “ Dual “ with Dennis Weaver…. Test the abilities of weathering
BEAUTIFUL paint job, I can remember the days of these running the hiways
