Nice out-of-factory look

Goldman
Great model. You cannot get more tough-looking than these old American trucks

Neuling
A beautiful model!

Bozzer
Excellent condition. Nice work buddy

Curtis Caden
Thank 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!

Bozzer
Not 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?

Curtis Caden
Thanks, 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.

Bozzer
I 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.

Looking 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.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Little progress on this one.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hello 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.

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your likes mates,..I can report a little progress

Bas Tonn
can't wait for the final result

Super Arbeit soweit! der Airpower19 Eurofighter ist nicht ganz so spannend wie die letzten beiden "Tiger" aber trotzdem nice to have 🙂

Skyhiker
I 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.

Juergen Klinglhuber
@ Bas Tonn -welcome & I will do my best to finish it soon. 🙂

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.

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.

Raphael Bernecole
Very nice work 😉

Harry Eder
Nice job Juergen! 👍 I'm looking forward to see your Eurofighters live at Euromodell Ried!

Alec K
Late to the party but… looks great 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hallo 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.

Juergen Klinglhuber
So far so good - final pictures soon after the model show in Ried this coming week end.

★ Starfish ★
Super 👍

Guy Rump
Great job! 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Not sure which one I like more 👍

Harry Eder
Great job (on both)! 👍 I'm looking forward to see them live on saturday! 😉

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Starfish, Guy and Lukasz. Thx Harry - see you tomorrow.

Juergen Klinglhuber
I 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...

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting challenge

Juergen Klinglhuber
thx for your interest Lukasz. I joint the fuselage last night & the cockpit did fit 🙂
pics will follow soon.

Dietmar Kollmann
Nice start., Jürgen.

Great scratch work on the cockpit. Looking forward to see the final result.

Guy Rump
Excellent cockpit, following! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi mates - thank you for your nice words on my scratch work. Time consuming - but It came along nicely and better than I did expect.

Michael Kohl
Following too.

Robert Podkoński
A little late, but watching with pleasure 🙂

Juergen Klinglhuber
Welcome. No worries - it's summertime again (progress is slow ... 😉 )

Harry Eder
Nice scratched cockpit! Watching with interest! 👍

Juergen Klinglhuber
Thank you Harry. Welcome.

Juergen Klinglhuber
As 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.

★ Starfish ★
Nice work so far! I had the same issue with the warped vertical stabiliser on this kit.

DerMattes
Just checked the newer Revell Eurofighter (Ghost Tiger box). It seems to have the same problem with the stabiliser 🙁

Juergen Klinglhuber
Hi Starfish & DerMattes - thx for sharing your experience. So watch out mates for front landing gear and stabilizer issues !! 👍 cheers

Juergen Klinglhuber
Done in time for the up coming show in Ried, Hope to have some final pictures right after it.

Nicolas
Looks great.

Tibor Szilvai
