Finished this one early this year. I started with the Revell/Monogram snapper. Shortened the frame and scratchbuilt a bed.

Queston about AMT's White-Freightliner COE wheels and tires
Rbray47 replied to Sedandelivery53's topic in Model Truck Kit Discussion
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.
