Well, I've finished my Western Star "Constipation" already. Have a look:

Please keep in mind now that mine is 1-87, about the size of the front tire on the one from Maffen. The 1-87 version from Italeri is a nightmare, BTW. Poor castings all around, lots of work.

First truck? No way! Beautiful job, and quite coincidentally I recieved my WS Constellation in the mail today. Also from Italeri but in 1-87. If I can get it to look half as good I'll be happy.

One thing, the inside of the hood and firewall would normally be flat black. Primarly to hide the oil, antifreeze, grease, fuel etc that goes with diesel engines. Shock [:O]

Other than that it looks SHARP. I'd be proud to drive one like that! Big Smile [:D]
