Bill, this is the same kit you have. To be fair, it's a bit of a slug. Definitely a challenge buddy. It's a rebox of very old tooling. As I know how you are, watch out for several issues. The cab to sleeper mating, isn't the best, plenty of delicate work needed. The rear axles are out. Alignment problems again. Also, check the cab for twists. The chassis needed a bit of work too. Then just when you think you are all done and your paint job is amazing, the chrome grab handles screw it up! Them mirrors take some patience too! In my opinion, this is the most testing of AMT kits. Chris has done a version of this, if you want to check that out too bud.

I'm watching, cab-over tractor units are so much nicer than long hoods.
I love the box art on theses older kits, they just look so fkin cool!!!

Bozzer thanks for the warning. Usually I deflash, paint then fit. With all that I have read, I am deflashing, TEST FITTING then painting.
