I built the White FL recently, but I used Moebius wheels. However, the Uniroyal tires it comes with are the same in some other Amt kits. They fit a little loose on 3d printed 22.5s, as well as the Amt rims, but filling them with wadded up paper towels makes them "take a bead" on the rims.

This one gave me a couple issues, but overall wasn't too bad. I scratchbuilt a lot of parts and added Moebius wheels. I planned a matching 27ft trailer, but it's not finished yet.

Finished this one in December. I used the US Mail kit with decals from the Mpc DM600. Paint is Tamiya and Krylon shortcuts. I scratchbuilt mudflaps, 5 speed transmission, shifter, and clutch pedal. Otherwise, pretty much out of the box.

That's a big list, and although I've only built one, I remember a few of those issues.

That may work. What I did was sand both pieces as flat and level as possible. I glued them with Tamiya extra thin, then after that dried completely I ran super glue down the seam. I didn't even try to putty it, as there is too much molded on detail that gets in the way.

I'm using the same ones. I like that they're easily stackable.

I finished this one last month, while I was off work. I used Moebius duals and steers from singles pack. Scratchbuilt the mudflaps and stack. I tried a little engine detailing, modified an Alaskan Hauler headache rack, and installed an MTB swan.

I'm actually looking at getting a truck for farm usage. When and if I do, I'll probably fix it up similarly.

That's a cool project.

Nice! I never knew this truck existed.

I like the modifications. I have an extra mail truck kit and you're giving me ideas lol.

That's pretty cool, I like it. I didn't realize how short this kit is until I see yours with 22.5s on it. I stretched mine and it still looks short.

Finished this one up yesterday. Well, almost, needs horns and a couple of other things. Stretched frame, scratch built headache rack, mtb swan dual stacks, and ford pickup cab lights. I actually managed to use the kit mirrors. I always have trouble with them and end up building new ones.

Some areas I'm just making it up as I go. Like the steering and shift tower parts.

The weather is too bad to paint the LTL 9000, so I decided to dig this Kenworth out. I bought it from Ollie's a few years back. Between the vague directions and me messing up the paint, I put it away shortly after and used it to rob parts. Now that I've built up my spares box a little, I think I can finish it. I sanded down the cab and primed it, then I shortened the frame and converted it to single axle. The 370 Cummins is almost all there and mostly built. I have a spare Ford mail truck which will give up its 27ft trailer for this one.
