That should kill Kitbox sales.

Looks fantastic. It's about time - a good 992 was hard to find if it wasn't an Alpha.

Martin Oostrom
I need to get myself a cement mixer. Nice one!

Goldman
Another good looking model

Neuling
Yes! 👍

Bozzer
These are awesome kits!
@Martin. The Rex mixer is quite large, however the KW Transit Mixer, is a tad smaller, and easily available on the current market. Get yourself one 😉

Goldman
Actually I have just got the KW Transit from Amazon. Always wanted a mixer. Another model into the queue...

Bozzer
I picked up the Mack DM800 Rex Mixer, in good condition. It was a highlight for me. The 800 is a tricky kit, but I had to have the mixer to complete the collection. I plan to do the tri-axle option, when I get around to it. But I gotta admit, the Paystar makes an awesome kit.

Goldman
They are beasts. Just wonder why the rear fenders on the DM800 and Paystar mixers are so long - extending so much in front and arear of the tandem.

Bozzer
In the kit, they explained how to convert it into the tri-axle. They even tell you what kit to buy, to extend it! Pretty good marketing, at the time, eh? Lol

Curtis Caden
Thank you Martin Oostrom, Goldman, Neuling, Bozzer. I like construction equipment and have a 1:50 diecast collection. I built the cement mixer because I liked the Ertl/AMT models of the "International" line. I have built the 1972 Scout, the 2011 ProStar, the PayHauler 350 and both the PayStar Cememnt Mixer and Dump Truck.

Bozzer
Curtis, you need more stuff!
The 360 backhoe.
The D8 dozer.
And of course, some lowloader trailers, to carry them!
(Don't forget to get some awesome semi's, to pull them?)
My name is Bozzer, I'm your bad influence 😉

Martin Oostrom
I can attest to that. Ever since Bozzer showed up in a thread of mine, I've been buying truck stuff 😂

Curtis Caden
I have the AMT Caterpillar D8H Bulldozer, Lindberg 1968 Dodge + 1940 Ford + trailer, and AMT John Deere 310 Backhoe Loader. I will get more stuff and get more stuff finished. Thanks for the encouragement.

Bozzer
There's a very nice photo etch set, for the D8 dozer. I can't recall the maker at this time, but I've seen it and it's awesome. You can even get metal tracks for it, but I've only ever seen them online, once. We strive to do our best, but the main thing is, we just keep doing what we do.

Roland
Very nice built with an interesting color scheme. Congratulations!

Robert Podkoński
Taking a first-row seat, of course!

You like most of us waste our lives fiddling away on our own little projects only you do it better than most.I try and resist building OOB to make it more challenging and interesting,sometimes OOB.LOL

not to be missed, no doubt 🙂

Never seen stars like those before. Looks cool.

Curtis Caden
An interesting build. We have a club contest in November for dive bombers. I selected this one because it seemed like a good kit to build. I was a bit concerned about painting the canopy, but a fellow club member told me that FrogTape® Delicate Surface Painter's Tape worked great. It allows you to see where to cut as it is somewhat translucent. The aircraft is two-tone although my paint choices may not have brought that out as well as it could be done. As to the stars, all I can say is that it is a Navy aircraft!

Ben M
The canopy masking is super precise.
