Here is another project I just stared. It is the Revell Kenworth W900 kit.
I see that I have to touch up the rear mud flaps. :oops:

Thanks guys. I am trying to copy a truck I saw a few years back when I was hauling wood chips in Maine. we would cross paths with these bright yellow trucks coming out of Canada. I think the company name was Sunshine Express.

Cool....conventional or coe? I was at the hobbyshop yesterday and got the re-release of the 1/32 Mack R and tank trailer snap kit for the kids and I to build...don't like the new decals so I'll have to check the spares box. My 5yr old son has been bugging me to help build a model and my 8yr old daughter has been as well - this will be a family build for me!{I doubt it'll be much help due to attention span... }. Hopefully it won't have to be painted since the dang humidity has ruined two of my last attempts to paint!
Build on !
