Hi everyone hope all are well. I could use some help with assembly of the AMT Ford LNT8000 side mirrors. The instructions are vague and uncooperative. When I tried to put the middle bracket in it did not want to fit properly. Any suggestions/experiences will be extremely appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Jerry

LA’s Awesome degreaser found at Dollar General. The tanks for the most part lost the chrome in about a couple of hours.

Thanks. Axle assembly more or less done. Dechromed the tanks, and the exhaust stacks & air intake.

Continuing the progress. Test fitting parts. So far so good. Next concern will be front axle with turnable wheels and the heat swage process.

Now the anxiety…umm sorry fun begins.

I also have the Rat Fink Transtar I’m getting in a trade. So that will give me another one that I can hem and haw over. Colors, livery, etc.

Probably Rustoleum Brilliant Blue. The one that I currently have on my work bench has a Cat Yellow motor.

Today I started the power plant for my Ford LNT8000. Next she goes into primer then paint.

Hello all, hope all are well. I am starting my FAVORITE model tuck of all time. The International 4070A. This was really the model that got me going way back in 1976 as the ERTL issue. Fully knowing that I am not the most talented builder is where my trepidation lies on this build. I painted the cab last year and she was put away. Impressed by what Round 2 has presented us sans a lot of the chrome from the 1970's issued kit. I will use the Loadmasters decals as the pictures of the model inside the instructions booklet are what has always been an awesome memory. The only thing I was perplexed by is why they never made the pictures in the instructions in color. I always envisioned the solid painted cab as Testors Red. My example will obviously be Blue and I had a can of Testors One Coat Lacquer DeJa Blue aching to be used. Probably spokes all around for this fleet unit. Will post as I go along. Thanks for looking.

Very cool will be watching the build

Thank you it’s one of 4 I’ve done

Thank you. The KW or the 4070A?

I also have the re done AMT IH Transtar 4070a that I have cracked open and started somewhat. My clear favorite semi tractor of all time. I am hesitant to move forward as quickly as I should have been all along. But I do not want to screw it up. This one I am set on color(s) and livery. Royal Blue, and the livery will be Loadmasters. I just have to get my courage in order to proceed.

Vince47 thank you for the reply. I actually miswrote what I actually meant. I meant to write an O/O leased to a company outfit. I'd like to get decal stripes for her from an aftermarket decal company but don't trust myself to work with anything I'd buy on the internet. I have to consider it long and hard on what I want to attempt.

Just got this Revell Kw W900 the other day. Looking to paint her as a fleet unit from one the colors shown in the picture. Unsure of which one. In addition do I paint the frame in semi gloss Black or same color as the cab & hood? Help as always most appreciated.
