Tom ... Yes I did!

Tom ... Going to learn off of Danny.

Danny Meer You don't wanna learn from me Tom, I'm still such a noob lol

Danny Meer First time tried to give something a "used" look, waterpump came out ok'ish

Tom ... Not bad at all for a first try!

Chris Greathouse Looking sweet!

Danny Meer Was going thru a box of old stuff from the big stash i've bought and found this graphite powder in it. still new used it for my wheels so now they won't make squeaking noise and roll smoother

Tom ... hmmm, so modern day it's the squeaky wheel gets the graphite... I see.

Danny Meer Price for this 1979 kit € 35,- is that ok or to much?

Danny Meer It's a very nice 1 I agree, but it is no more for sale and finding these KFS trailers for sale is not easy...the Nooteboom trailer I found on FB costs € 400,- lol that's 100 more then the truck So maybe a trailer from my current stash (like the heavy gravel trailer?) or will see what I can find over time

Danny Meer Can also use my Heavy duty trailer and place some heavy equipment on the back or another truck....so much options lol The truck racing trailer also possible to use with a truck on the back...

Chris Greathouse Swap that truck with the heavy haulage Scania and you have a perfect marriage of truck,trailer, and cargo.

Chaz Gordon https://rover.ebay.com/rover..k%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264576708024

Might go well with this truck. Not sure what postage would be. But £60 buy it now price

Danny Meer @Chris, it's a picture of an Heavy duty trailer from internet, but like you said it would be a nice combo with that cargo (not sure if that's a kit or die-cast) and the Heavy haulage Scania

@Chaz Already have that 1 in my stash Bought mine for € 35,- Have a few nice trailers that I could use and that's my problem Don't know what I should put behind the Scania

Chris Greathouse This is the one from your stash, The only question would be... would a 1:24 truck and 1:25 trailer look like crap?

Heavy Duty Trailer (Revell 07533, 1:25)

Chaz Gordon The difference between scales is 1/8 of an inch in scale per 8 Feet full size, ie the width of the 1/25 trailer would be under by about 1/8 inch, and the length of a 40' trailer would be short by 5/8 inch, or about 16mm. On the height, no-one would ever notice.
The variance between manufacturers is more like to be noticable than that between the two scales. I have a 1/24 58 Chevy pickup truck in Die cast, and a 1/25 57 Chevy truck in plastic. The cabs for those two years of truck are identical, the changes were front end treatments. But the two scale cabs are noticably different at about 1/4 inch in the width, more than twice the scale variance, and the height is quite a bit off too. A shame as I was planning to cast a 58 Front end for the 57 truck kit.

Danny Meer I was also wondering how much of a difference it would be, but now you gave some explenation about it, think it will be ok to use a 1:25 trailer behind a 1:24 truck thx for that Chaz

Tim Heimer LOL Martin! Good point!

Danny Meer I was wondering the same, if it's a mistake or what...IMO think it was a fault of Revell, cuz KW had a plant in Australia in 1962 already. think Revell was cutting corners by using most of the parts in this kit for various models, including this "Australian" version. also some parts in the box for a Aerodyne version (upper glass and second bed) and a normal chrome front bumper for other K100's

Neuling Good looking truck.

Danny Meer Thx Neuling

James C Cool looking build Danny. That's got to be huge in 1/16 scale!

Chris Greathouse This is totally VIT level!! Great interior!! My current truck is a VIT too... I hope I do it justice. Very Important Truck... basically it makes an exterior statement (VIT badge on truck) about how classy/elegant your interior is.

Bart Teunis hmmm well did some search but the only K100 Images I found where alll with the steer on the left side .... was it made in th eUS and then exported ?

https://google.com/search?q=..h=1110#imgrc=thFW4a5cVb0aEM:

Christian W This truck looks great! I like this model kit a lot and never bought it. I had a black one with the flat roof (not an aerodyne) which was destroyed in my man's cave when a wall collapsed. It still sits in a box. Maybe sometime it could get a restoration. I think all the parts are there.

James C Nice looking build

Thomas Kirschbaum looks good

Chris Greathouse Geee that truck looks awfully famillular ... Looks great!

Danny Meer lol Chris and thx for nice comments guys

Bill Newcomer Wow, the artwork has it flying OFF THE GROUND!

Chris Greathouse That looks sick!! Those rear tires are hella cool!

Danny Meer The moment you find your kit under the heater.....my housekeeper placed this kit under the heater
The kit was mostly build already by previous owner, what I don't understand is that he build it first without painting...this makes it very hard to paint, cuz can't get to all parts....

Martin Oostrom Can't you make a diorama with a fallen tree that hit the cab? Doesn't need to be now, but perhaps in a few weeks/months/years, when you feel you are up to it?
When working with an airbrush, you can get paint in amazing places, or none in other places. Masking painted parts before spraying another colour is pretty commonplace.

Olivier What happened to the housekeeper ?

Danny Meer LOL Olivier have never been seen since

Slavo Hazucha Agree with Martin - if you wanted to achieve such damage on purpose, it would never have worked this well...

You have to approach models and projects as people... empathically find out where their inner strengths and beauties are and gently carve out the best out of the relationship...

Danny Meer well said Slavo words of wisdom still need to try weathering, haven't done that before but really want to learn it some day.

Patrick Hagelstein

Chaz Gordon Microsol is amazing, just dab it on with a brush and let it soften the decal. after a while, I gently push the decal down with a damp Q-tip

Danny Meer Should I use these flashlights or not? maybe a little to big for the 1:16 truck, got them on my Tamiya 1:14 and these where spares

Patrick Hagelstein To me the difference in scale/size isn't that noticeable. Unless it's a very specific type of flashing lights, those lights come in all sorts and sizes, right?

Danny Meer Thought so too, and in the old days some trucks had large flashing lights. and old police cars aswell

Patrick Hagelstein See!

Danny Meer and I tried vallejo decal softener but didn't help much, think the decals are to thick or old or the combination of both

Chris Greathouse Following.

Danny Meer

Chaz Gordon @Danny, if you are using Matt Colors, skip the Tamiya, and go straight for Vallejo. I use the Model Air and Game Air range for brush painting, they are thinner, but have finer pigments than the Model color range, which need to be thinned. I get better results all round with the Air range than thinned model color. Plus you can shake and pour into an airbrush without needing to work out how much you need, because you can pour any excess back into the bottle.

Chaz Gordon The Tamiya Glosses are pretty good, and Vallejo doesn't really do Gloss, most vallejo users use a matt & clear approach for gloss paint, the Game air range is great for that. Sadly, there is not much in the way of metallic colors for vehicles, mainly metal colors like brass, bronze, steel etc

Danny Meer Thx for that info Chaz

And Chris, the paint from that african site would be an old stash and not sure if that paint is still ok to use. return to sender wouldn't be an option cuz of the costs

Danny Meer @Augie it is really stunning how good some of the old can's still are.
But some can's the paint went bad and in some other cases the dry time is around a week lol
And they used other stuff as pigments then nowadays, now it's all synthetic stuff

Chris Greathouse I was looking for reference/info on the can. Not a place to buy. And pulled the info of the Gloss Iron Grey name.

Danny Meer

Łukasz Gliński I have a collection of old enamels too Mostly Humbrols and Revells (including the red and yellow Airbrush editions).
Still hesitating to throw them away, I even spray them sometimes - the only comparable (in terms of spraying comfort) are the lacquer paints. The only issue is drying time, I used to wait 24-48hrs, just to be sure.
Beware of the Revells, they seem to add some sort of accelerator. The surface dries rather quickly, but they're still soft underneath.

Chris Greathouse You can always slap some glue under the stickers for piece of mind.

Danny Meer not sure what that will do to a stickersheet, wouldn't that just melt it?

Chris Greathouse I wouldn't think so if it's a regular sticker, but don't quote me... Back in primary school, we played with old shotty stickers all the time and fixed them down with glue. They looked normal. just a thought.

Martin Oostrom The grey compressor part. Not the black tank. Also don't forget to drain the moisture trap, you'll be surprised how much water get's in there

Danny Meer I do have a big compressor in my garage wich I use for my bigscale gasoline cars to clean and that 1 isn't getting to hot cuz it gets enough fresh air. And I know that you have to drain the water out but it's not that much at all on the big 1. Don't know if the smal compressor generate more water. the small compressor is in my hobbyroom.

Bart Teunis and make sure that you thin your paint down enough and I suggest that you start using acrylics better for your health

Danny Meer When I bought the big stash, there was alot of enamel paints with it (over hundred) and most of them are still un-opened so I want to use them. That's alot of money to just throw away When I don't have a color and need 1, I buy the acrylic version.

And I do thin the paint, cuz some of them are really thick. This weekend made a mistake and found out that if you use thinner for enamels in a acrylic paint that you get butter lol...

And for the health part...my health is already bad, I'm in a wheelchair cuz of bad bones and muscles.
I have reuma, artritis and severe osteoporosis..
Made a paint booth myself from cardboard, light and a vacuum cleaner and works great also using a mask when airbrushing.

Tim Heimer Just keep on learning and asking questions and improving your knowledge! We are here to help each other succeed! yes each type of paint requires different thinners. to thin enamels use mineral spirits, not thinner. acrylics need acrylic thinner, and now thinking, I've never thinned lacquers.

Martin Oostrom Lacquer thinners!

Danny Meer Atm I'm using revell color mix for enamels and revell aqua color mix for the acrylics

Danny Meer Couldn't find this HBM glasses under magnifying glasses. will make things alot eassier

Danny Meer Yesss!!! happy happy..ordered 1 today

Martin Oostrom Sorry to hear that. When my wife comes home, I'll have to tell her the tv decoder died... no tv, how will she survive???

Danny Meer Lol the horror!! watch tv from app? I have my pc connected to the tv so I can always watch tv...if Internet works lol I do have another airbrush set but is for 1:1 size cars, think this wont work on small plastic bits

Danny Meer Old contest flyer from 1977 wich I found in a truck kit

Chris Greathouse First prize is pretty good. That $150 is valued at $950 in today's value.

Danny Meer It was so cool to find and read it

Danny Meer Got this in mail today for € 18 without paint and glue but has same Revell number

Martin Oostrom Revell modelsets generally Start with a 6. This regular kit should be 07671 and the modelset 67671

Martin Oostrom Changed the pictures and reference. Shouldn't be a rebox modelset, but a regular rebox.

Danny Meer Can make a picture of the box I have.
And I have all the same problems you got with yours lol, thought it would be a quick easy in between buid.
So much work on the parts needed to make parts look ok...and how they are fixed in the brackets...omg

Martin Oostrom I already changed what needed changing. No pics necessary. Just give the girl some attention and she'll come out a queen!

Danny Meer Will give it a whole lot of tlc...and putty

Danny Meer Want to know howto for Decal Info on contribute page

Martin Oostrom Instructions: Go to the kit page. Choose edit. There you can upload the pdf.
On the same edit page, you can add the decal info. For cars/trucks, one for each livery or license plate. Please choose the right topic!

Danny Meer Bedankt voor de comment Martin, dus er hoeven geen foto's van de hele decal sheets geupload te worden?

Andy W. Hello Dony.
First of all, welcome to the forum.
As far as your question is concerned, the question of the missing Decal information simply means which versions of the model are buildable. In the civilian area you usually have only one buildable version. In the military, for example, in aircraft or the like, you often have the choice between different staggering or nations, which you can build. You can then deposit these as info. In most cases you have also noted the individual options in the construction plan.

Danny Meer Thx Andy for the welcome and explanation

Martin Oostrom Hoi Dony, voertaal is Engels, dus die hou ik even aan als je het niet erg vind. Je kunt altijd in het nederlands pm-en.
It isn't necessary to add pictures of the decal sheet. There is a beta testing feature in which some users can add pictures of sprues, decalsheet, pe etc. But that is of later concern. If you could take the pictures and keep them for a while, 'we' can use them here later.

Andy W. No problem, you're welcome

Danny Meer Sorry for the dutch then, English from now on

Martin Oostrom The unwritten rules of the internet forum only Ze Jermans relapse from time to time

Danny Meer lol

Danny Meer Kit was missing some parts, like radiator. made that out of cardbox lol

Erik Francisco Zimmermann Welcome

Gerald Willing Hello Welcome here

Danny Meer thx guys
