Ken Gilkeson Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I have never built this kit before. Still getting ideas before I start. like the spoked wheels and square fuel tanks. not fond of the stack, may go with the under frame exhaust. would like something different color wise. they just opened a hobby lobby near by with a large color selection. decisions, decisions.

TECHMAN Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 ??? Cool kit..... Are you gonna build a "fleet" type rig or O/O ??? Am sure you already know this Ken, but be sure to take a 40% off coupon in with you into the Hobby-Lobby (it's on their web-site). Definitely helps!!!!

gotnitro? Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Definitely a good kit to create different styles ! If your looking to go more modern, detail master sells a grill photo etch set that's super nice. Theres so many options , the choices are endless. I may have a spare set of round tanks if your interested in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
