progress, or plans? I built one WAY back when I was about 13 or so. I did a fairly decent job, but it was a TOUGH model to build, for sure.

Be sure to take lots of pics and show any modifications, or special tricks you use to complete it.

Nice - looking forward to some pics. Have you tried Italeri trucks? There's one I like the look of, but have no clue about kit quality.

The Italeri 377 truck is pretty much a Revell 377, with some more stuff on it. I just finished a 359, and now I'm waiting on my 377 to show up which I am going to convert into a 385 (newer version of the 377). Italeri are very good kits.

:p heres some progress so far!-
THE PICS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIG AND BLURRY!(im still trying to figure this thing out!!!):naughty:

got some more paint so i will pull it out of storage and paint the cab, hood, and fenders and get some pics up for your enjoyment in a couple of days!

heres an update the hood and fenders are painted still need to fix an issue with the way the paint came out on it and still needing to decide whether or not undercoat the fenders or paint the underside of the fenders?:banghead:

easier said than done i have no stand plus i might have to break out $$$ for a new camera cause the screen thats on the back that show's you what pic your taking is blank now so i have to take several pics and look at them on the comp. to see if there is a good enough one to upload, if not delete all and start over again!:mad::headshake:banghead::crying:
so for a while you might not get the sharpest pics but i will try to get the best pics i can for your enjoyment!

hey guys/galz i finally got some paint on the cab and i finally got a brand new digi cam for Christmas that comes with get this image stabilization!
ill have some pics up for your enjoyment in a day or two!:icon16:

I guess the one I built was the AMT version. It was no where NEAR as easy as this one (I recently got one of the sister kits to this truck, the KW W900 Aerodyne).

Looks like yours is turning out really well. I hope to be able to see it soon! *little pun to lighten the mood there. haha
