Irineu JuniorThanks Michael! I've always wanted to build a rally car like this!
I'll try to keep that album updated.
22 December 2023, 19:16
Irineu JuniorChassis painted with spray. I'll take the paint off the can and use in airbrush.
It will be easier to control the flow, mainly on the body.

bossy122Having done one of these recently, I will give you a heads up that the decals canbe a tad brittle, especially the big ones going across the doors. LOTS of softener needed. PS: beautiful seal point.
24 February, 18:44
Irineu JuniorThanks, folks! I'll try to update frequently.
Good tip, @bossy122, thank you!
I messed up a lot with the panel line scraper, had to fix with CA and sandpaper…
24 February, 20:12
Irineu JuniorBody painted, with airbrush and decanted TS-50. Next steps: decals and clear coat.

Jorge FerreiraWell what can I say. Was it beginners luck or a skillfull modeller ? Those decals look great. I`ve build 4 and the decals were a nightmare. Congratulations. 😊👌
11 August, 20:16
Irineu JuniorThank you Jorge and Stéphane! I've been building it at a slow pace, getting a lot of help from forums and videos.

Irineu JuniorWay to connect the rear spoiler, and getting ready for final assembly.
7 September, 17:52
Irineu JuniorAlmost done! After messing up the yellow neon decal, I painted it and varnished it, ready for the final assembly.
13 October, 23:17
Irineu JuniorFinished at last!!! Ready to be exhibited along other models I'm going to build.
Thanks for your help!

Kesa Tihodoes anyone know if tamiya glue and paint work on PE? im planning to buy a very advanced model kit and it has PE, ive never built with photo etch so i have no clue about anything PE related
17 October, 20:29
Urban GardiniSmall PE details laying flat against the plastic such as placards and engine grills work with TETC. The PE fuses together with the plastic when it hardens again. But it's not a strong bond but it's an just enough bond.
17 October, 20:33
Martin OostromUse a good primer on the pe. If you can get your hands on it, use a metal primer. This etches the metal so your paint primer sticks better to the metal. Then paint as usual.
If the pe isn't flat to the plastic, superglue (ca) works well, but pva (woodglue) could work too.
17 October, 20:36
Kesa Tiho@Martin Oostrom does Tamiya primer (Tamiya TA87075, ) work too? Thats all i have

Snake PlisskenFinish looks legit; is that a semi-gloss or satin coat? Sometimes model planes have too much of a flat or matte finish.
16 October, 21:47
Shane HodgettsCheers…legit is what we're all looking for…😉👍
I used the Mr.Hobby semi gloss rattle can just before applying the decals…then weathering on top. Was going to hit it with a flat coat but kinda thought it looked "legit" as is…😁👍

Curtis CadenThank you Pepe, Martin Oostrom and Goldman. My only wish is that directions would show pictures of how the part looks after it is attached. Too many arrows pointing in a direction and not even showing which way the part should be flipped. I am convinced that to build a model correctly one should do two of them. One to learn on and one to have for a nice, finished product. I tell myself that I build it because I like the subject matter, and it is only a representation. I felt bad that I couldn't align the white decal stripes better.
22 September, 11:05
David OrrVery nice work Curtis. Looks like an absolute beast. How did the kit go together? I've got an AMT Kenworth Alaskan Hauler in the stash which I'm hoping to build soon. That will be my first truck model.
22 September, 23:22
Christian WThat truck looks really nice! Flawless pauntjob. This is what I like 🙂
23 September, 09:19
Curtis CadenDavid Orr the truck part went together fine. The wrecker part that sits on the frame was a bit awkward. There were two options for the hooking part that led to some confusion on my part. I liked having the long cable but having it molded in plastic was not ideal and I probably should have substituted a fabric rope cable. I did like the way the mirrors in this kit were molded.
23 September, 11:26
Curtis CadenItaleri doesn't mold their cabs like other companies, and I did have trouble with Opal Blitz Classic cab assembly. On this one the hood lined up just right. Hood alignment has only been a problem on the Ford Louisville Series Delivery Van. If you like the hood you would also like Italeri's Classic Western Star 4964 and Australian Truck.
15 October, 00:11
BozzerI had hood issues with mine. I couldn't figure out what had happened? It was like the hood, or cab, was twisted? Just wondered if you had a work around.
15 October, 11:10
Curtis CadenBozzer I had no work around. I find positioning with tape helps. I usually tape the hood to the cab for painting and use tape to hold parts in position until they dry. I used tape for the hood on this one. I think I was just fortunate. My usual problem is getting a twist in the ladder style frame and all I know to do is be more careful.
17 October, 22:30
BozzerAlways check your frame rails, against a flat surface, before starting. Gentle heat from a hairdryer, will help straighten the frame. (Special note: The Mack R685ST kit has a frame that flares out at the front, DON'T correct it!)
To keep my frame square, I build a jig out of Lego and use that to line everything up.
I'll get back to this Western Star, in the coming months, and take another look at it. I may have missed something obvious, that I overlooked? She's been waiting far too long now, to be finished.

GoldmanGreat model. You cannot get more tough-looking than these old American trucks
8 October, 05:47
Curtis CadenThank you, Martin, Goldman, Neuling and Bozzer. My wife is not big on the distressed look of weathering and sometimes my weathering just muddies it up. So yes, it is factory fresh and my wife suggested the purple color for the cab. Bozzer the hood on this one work as good as the Western Star wrecker's!
15 October, 00:18
BozzerNot being a critic mate, but I noticed that between this and the mixer, you have the orientation of the vent, different ways? I believe that it should be vertical, not horizontal? However, on all my kits, the pins, or holes, were moulded so the vent was horizontal. I still think that it's an excellent kit though. I actually enjoyed doing all my international trucks. I think that I only have two left, to build now?
15 October, 11:20
Curtis CadenThanks, Bozzer, I got it air intake grill flipped. The only other International truck I found on eBay was the Logger and I am not sure I want to build that.
17 October, 22:21
BozzerI have a Mack AC logger and also the Peerless logging trailer. I inspected the plastic logs, and in fairness, with a bit of work, the logs can look good, but you can't beat the real thing. A few selections of the right size branches, and you're good to go.
Word of advice though, on the trailer...
You have to remove parts of the truck, to make the trailer work, so build the trailer first, then the truck. It'll save you a few harsh words.

Juergen KlinglhuberLooking forward to visit "Airpower24" tomorrow. This reminded me that I have taken some pictures the last weeks that did not yet find the way into the album. So here we go.
6 September, 19:53
Juergen KlinglhuberHello everyone - thanks for your intereest. I must admit that this is not a very exiting build, but thanks for yor interest - will to the painting this weekend and I just checked the decal sheet,....uuuii, there are plenty tiny stickers to be placed.
15 September, 08:28
★ Starfish ★Super Arbeit soweit! der Airpower19 Eurofighter ist nicht ganz so spannend wie die letzten beiden "Tiger" aber trotzdem nice to have 🙂
29 September, 19:36
SkyhikerI had trouble with the front landing gear on this kit breaking. I don't know if was just a fluke or if the mold is too thin. It may need reinforcement.
29 September, 19:42
Juergen Klinglhuber@ Starfish -thx for your comment. I have the Nato Tiger from '22 on the bench as well. Eurofighter Typhoon - "Austrian Tigers" 7L*WC | Album by jott (1:72)
And you are right - the more colourful livery is way more interessting (application of decals 🙂 - but also to look at it when done). I will up-date the other Album soon.
30 September, 06:52
Juergen Klinglhuber@ Skyhiker
I am building 2 of those revel kits in parallel - both front landing gears broke already right after taking it from the sprue.... so thx for your advice, I hope other mates receive this info to take precaution.
30 September, 06:55
Harry EderNice job Juergen! 👍 I'm looking forward to see your Eurofighters live at Euromodell Ried!
2 October, 09:37
Juergen KlinglhuberHallo Raphael, Harry & Alec - welcome and thx for leaving your comments. @Harry - I guess the 2 Typhoons will be ready just in time. Looking forward to meet you there.
3 October, 10:59
Juergen KlinglhuberSo far so good - final pictures soon after the model show in Ried this coming week end.
16 October, 18:15
Harry EderGreat job (on both)! 👍 I'm looking forward to see them live on saturday! 😉

Juergen KlinglhuberI got this kit for a reduced price on a flea-market - due to the fact that the cockpit and seat were missing. The former owner spoiled it or put it aside - I don't know exactly. But it wouldn't be me not taking this challenge. Lets go and scratch an Eurofighther cockpit...
13 July, 20:45
Juergen Klinglhuberthx for your interest Lukasz. I joint the fuselage last night & the cockpit did fit 🙂
pics will follow soon.
17 July, 08:52
TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)ohhh nice work on the cockpit Jürgen! Taking a seat to see the progress 🙂
17 July, 09:44
Juergen KlinglhuberHi mates - thank you for your nice words on my scratch work. Time consuming - but It came along nicely and better than I did expect.
22 July, 08:38
Juergen KlinglhuberWelcome. No worries - it's summertime again (progress is slow ... 😉 )
22 July, 16:11
Juergen KlinglhuberAs the cockpit is done I have to catch up with the Eurofighter Typhoon - "Austrian Typhoons" 7L*WB | Album by jott (1:72) build which is almost done. Beside livery the kit is 1:1 the same, so making up leeway isn't that hard I hope.
4 October, 13:48
★ Starfish ★Nice work so far! I had the same issue with the warped vertical stabiliser on this kit.
4 October, 14:11
DerMattesJust checked the newer Revell Eurofighter (Ghost Tiger box). It seems to have the same problem with the stabiliser 🙁
4 October, 14:48
Juergen KlinglhuberHi Starfish & DerMattes - thx for sharing your experience. So watch out mates for front landing gear and stabilizer issues !! 👍 cheers
6 October, 12:33
Juergen KlinglhuberDone in time for the up coming show in Ried, Hope to have some final pictures right after it.
