Lonestar/update

[thebrush56]

Hi, I`ve been building this as well as the transtar, Its been a long time since i built out of the box. I have made a few changes
The frame was shortened 30mm. Some of the engine parts ive sprayed Alclad Stainless Steel +a logo to engine top. Rear mudflaps are homemade, rear reversing lights are clear beads from craft shop. Fuel tanks are rechromed with black end caps.

Looks nice. Is this the Moebius issue or the Revell of Germany?

Rumor Control has it that Czech Truck Modell has a P/E set out for this, if you're interested.

Hi jimb,This is the moebius issue. I`ve seen the P/E set looks good, but i`ll build this with the kit parts.

It's a relly nice kit, and I'm looking forward to the ProStar.

I've never seen the P/E set. Every time I go to The Model Maker Shop, it's gone. Must be popular.

Nice work so far.

Hi. I made a few adjustments to the hood, I sanded down the top of the firewall & a touch off the rad top.
I removed hinge pins & blocked off holes on hinge crossmember.
I used a piece of wire [ temp] that could be removed for the sanding process to get the hood sitting better. I will replace the wire with pins.
In hindsight i should have done this before painting. But i sprayed
it in summer when the weather was better.

Looking really nice. Where are your doors?

Thebuild is coming out very nice! I like your method of doing the hood, I shimmed and heat forms the hinges to get the fit. Your way is so much more positive and a lot easier. Thanks for posting it. Paul

Hi Jimb, I cut the doors out to hinge them.

Great work with matching the hood. Thanks for the tip. It may come handy when I make mine some day.
