The Coca Cola truck is actually a semi, never done a semi before and since I'm a big fan of Coca Cola I thought it would be a good project to work on. The only thing is that the kit has so many issues, there's flashing to last me a lifetime, warped parts, fitment issues, I know that's part of the fun but since I'm coming back into the hobby I didn't want to come into a project that I know is going to be frustrating. The Coca Cola project is in the pipeline that's for sure.

Unfortunately, I've not built my GMC yet. However, that's a very old tooling. If you're prepared to get another semi, may I suggest the International 4070A cabover? It's a retool and it's very sharp in detail and practically zero flash? Ideal for you. All AMT kits have issues, but like you said, it's part of the fun. And of course, if you run into problems, just post them on here? There's always plenty of advice and help, on Scalemates. Enjoy your build, and if you start your semi, be sure to add some progress pictures. It's always great to see 10 wheelers 🙂

I'm going to start with this project for 2024 instead of continuing with the more involved projects like the Coca Cola truck or the Porsche. Kinda want to ease in into the hobby again, have been on pause since the birth of my daughter but now that things have calmed down a bit I want to start back up again.
I was thinking of creating a lowrider series by having the 1934 Ford Pickup Custom version, the 1978 Chevy El Camino Lowrider version, and the 1972 Chevrolet Racer's Wedge, with the same paint scheme. I have never done something like this and much less having them in lowrider type version, so I thought it would be a good challenge.
I've been researching how the lowrider paint style is done, but it looks way more complicated than I thought it was going to be. I'm still deciding on the color scheme, right now I'm aiming towards a red/orange/gold color scheme but I'm still deciding.
Another thing that I'm still unsure about is to whether work on all three models at the same time or work on one model at a time, I'll probably paint the bodies of all three models at the same time as to not mess up the paint scheme from one model to the another.
