I have several iterations of the trailer , so definitely watching this

Goldman
Nice start. Will be an interesting tractor-trailer combination

Qwertzel
Looking pretty good! Taking a seat

Bozzer
Peterbilt 378 by any chance?

Chris
378 yes. A shame it didn't come with a Cummins. Can't seen to find a '53 flat deck or B-train either.

Bozzer
Try Kit Form Services? They've changed ownership and they're coming out with new Stuff, monthly? Also try Auslowe in Australia.
I thought it was the 378, because of the motor. Most italeri kits come with a Cummins. You can also get them aftermarket, from Auslowe, and a few other guys. If you get stuck, gimme a shout and I'll see what I can dig up? Always happy to help a fellow truck modeller 👍

This is a list on Model Cars Magazine forum with available engines in kits and in resin:

A little outdated but a very good start

Moebius offered a 48 flat bed trailer that you can maybe extend to 53:
48' Flatbed Trailer (Moebius Models 1304, 1:25)
I think it was released over 10 years ago but you can still find it occasionally on Amazon

Bozzer
As a thought, you could also get the Great Dane Extendable Trailer, and put your own deck on it?

Chris
Thanks, I'll check them out.

Chris
Gonna try a semi-gloss for the engine/chassis this time and see how that looks. They come glossy from the factory but that doesn't last very long.

Bozzer
You can actually get decals, for the frame, motor and fuel filters.
Modeltruckin is currently going through some changes. Sadly, Jerry has retired, and I am thankful for his hard work, and wish him all the best for the future, but he sold his files to someone else, who is going to carry on his good work. Apparently, it's gonna take a little while, but it's happening?
So keep an eye out, in the future, and of course, I'll post a link, when I find out.
Meanwhile, I'm liking what I'm seeing, so carry on!
I'll start something up myself, pretty soon.
I love seeing all these semi's, coming together!
Let them truckers roll!

Chris
Interior colour is down. Still needs clear and wash.

Christian W
Good start so far!

Chris
Lots of work done today.

Gotta say... not enjoying this kit very much. Fitment issues, poor plastic quality... maybe just been spoiled with Tamiya and Eduard kits. Motivated to get this done and move on to something else.

Gonna put the tanker on hold after this.

Bozzer
You definitely have to work on these, unlike Tamiya. An easier kit, would be Revell. They have some nice Pete's and their KW W900 is a good kit too. However, once you get used to the cab fitment, they become less stressful. On my 378, I extended the sleeper. That was definitely a challenge. But, we do it because we're nuts, not because it's easy, lol. Looks like you're lining up for the winning post, so I'll sit back and watch this beauty transform 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Welcome to the wonderful world of Italeri. They make the most unusual kits in the most unusual way.

Bozzer
Lol, try putting lights in the grill, then close the hood? I put mine to the side, before it hit the wall! The tolerance on these, is almost airtight! I also got my gloves stuck to the front fender. Touching up Alclad II is a skill in itself! I still love building them though 😉

Christian W
I can sind a song about all the issues I had with my Frightliner *lol* Sorry. It's tough to get them done sometimes. When I was a kid, somehow they went together without any problems. If that had been, I think, I wouldn't go into that hobby.

Rene Brix
Guten Abend!
Ja, der Bausatz ist noch da. Ist neu und eingeschweißt.

Viele Grüße und alles Gute!

René Brix

Molchi
Prima.
Ist das erste Mal, dass ich hier etwas kaufen möchte.
Wie ist der weitere Ablauf ?

Rene Brix
Hallo!

Im Prinzip wie bei Ebay. Zu dem vereinbarten Preis kommt noch das Porto. Dann wird das Geld überwiesen oder per Paypal "Family and Friends" geschickt. Dann geht der Kit zur Post. Manchmal tausche ich auch Kits mit Interessenten. Mein "Baugebiet" sind Panzer von Dragon in 1:35 und Flugzeuge von Eduard in 1:48.
Bei Fragen bitte einfach melden.

Viele Grüße und alles Gute!

René

Molchi
Ach so geht das.
Dann gib mir doch bitte eine Mail Adresse für Paypal damit ich dir das Geld senden kann… zum tauschen hab ich nichts.

Rene Brix
Guten Abend!
Bin leider heute noch unterwegs. Melde mich Morgen!
Viele Grüße und alles Gute!

René Brix

Zu den 45 € kommen noch 6,99 € Versand. In Summe also 51,99 € wenn du den Bausatz kaufen möchtest.

Ich bräuchte dann auch deine Adresse.

Viele Grüße und einen schönen Tag!

Greetings! Here are some pics of my new build. Skating back into the post-WW II period, it's the first Soviet supersonic fighter, the MiG-19. The original KP had this aircraft in their lineup back when and it was the first kit I have completed fully by myself as a wee lad. I was actually home "sick" from school for a week recovering from chicken pocks. Instead of heling myself appropriately in bed, I modeled illicitly at the kitchen table as soon as my parents left for work. Ahhh, what a glorious week…

The kit is the much-reviled 2019 "new tool" from KPs "traditional manufacturer" (or usurper, depending on where one stands in this ongoing mud-slinging match). It's a short-run technology kit, so "traditional" in that sense but really a bit old-school for today's pampered modeler. In the "modern" era, Trumpeter had it in their catalog in 2008 but it was never released. Clear Prop has been working on it last few years but the events in Ukraine clearly impacted its release. Rather than wait for a better offering, I decided to go for it and build the KP's kit with few PE and resin bits thrown in. Hope you enjoy!

Impressive scratch work 👍👍 Looks like it's going to be amazing!

Alexander Grivonev
What a start, great scratchbuilding. Following!

Oh good! Looking forward to another scratch building masterclass. 🙂

Taking a seat!

Great start. 👍

Great start. Following!

Zbynek Honzik
It's gonna be another ride!
I'm taking a seat and I'll be watching closely. And I'm sure I'll learn something.
Thanks for sharing Alec!

Alec K
Thanks all for coming along and your positive comments 👍 This build is coming along nicely, so far...

Łukasz Gliński
Oh wow, what a topic, watching for sure, even though it might kill my will to build my Farmers afterwards 😄

Marko Arangelov
Wonderful!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Really nice progress Alec - I´m in for this 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic job so far. Keep it up!

Excellent start Alec, and great choice of aircraft type. As a kid I loved the box art on the old box from Kovozávody. I built this new KP and I know that it is not exactly a top kit. But it probably doesn't matter to you, almost everything will be scratchbuild anyway 😄

Alec K
Gents, I appreciate you stopping by 🙂

Łukasz, this kit can be built nicely OOB, as demonstrated very recently by a modeler here accomplishing this in 10 days (something I am not capable of…). Building the OG Kovozavody is another matter 😄

Jakube, I agree regarding the box art. Velc just knows his stuff! The cover of this kit is pretty good as well imho. Thanks for the reminder about your build, forgot about it (including it here for reference). Cheers!

Eine gute Recherche, ist schon der halbe Weg zum Erfolg. Ich schau da mal weiter zu.

Sylvain Vernier
a new well documented article 👀

Cuajete
Nice start. Following! 👍

Raphael Bernecole
Very Nice 🙂

Cuajete
Marius, I'm glad you're taking up this interesting project again.
Very nice color scheme! It's the same scheme that this Mig-15 UTI? Egyptian Warriors (Condor Decals 72014, 1:72)

Very nice camo sir 👍

Alec K
Excellent! Taking a belated seat.

Marius
Thank you for the interest mates!

@Cuajete: in a way it's similar, but not two EAF machines of the same type had the same "Nile" camouflage pattern. This was left to the freedom of artistic expresion of the maintainance workers. The rule was to use those three main colors: sand (sometimes orange sand), the weird green and a very dark green-tan (close to a complete black). The darkest color is certainly not the proposed brown of that decal sheet.

Otherwise, some of the EAF MiGs were overhauled in Warsaw Pact countries and were locally painted with only similar paints. The MiG-17 from the first picture of this album is such an example, where they applied directly black for the darkest color.

Sometimes order of colors was switched, while sometimes the applied pattern was completely irregular:

This one below is some restored/repainted piece of museum in the US, where the darkest color is wrongly applied as brown:
