Wow, an All-Star line up! Great colors schemes on every one of them.
Well done. Sorry to hear you don't have them all anymore.

yes Earl all of them are hand painted including the stripes , sometimes it takes a while but its the way i prefer to do it , that way a few yrs down the line they look the same as when i did them , the kenworth is still the same i built it it 1976

Nice cabovers, great paint jobs!
Looks like a lineup at a '70's truckstop...

thanks for the comments , the kenworths still here but the decals are yellow so going to strip in down & tidy it up a bit , i dont know what paint you guys in the states use but since i started building in 1973 ive allways used humbrol it seems to stand the test of time well

thanks dave it was a good collection , the kenworth is in bits at the moment it needs a good clean & the decals need to come off the cab after 30 odd yrs there looking a bit bad very yellow , i am going to put it back together as it was minus any decals keep it as a true 70s

hi again ! as you can see i came across some old photos, out of all the kits only the kenworth is left , i sold the mack , the astro & the yellow frieghtliner , the single drive freightliner is in the rebiuld stage ( yes im a big fan of the rebuild because of lack of space ) it is being based on bobby blandino,s frieghtliner with 2 matching trailers i hope to finish it soon
