Great model nicely built I'm a 45yr old Retired OTR Trucker owned a fleet of truck,s had many Cabover Freightliner,s Powerliner,s 1974 KTA CUMMINS 600hp.Tractor,s! And 40ft Reefer trailer,s But anyway, I build model truck,s professionally on my spare time since the 1970,s and, I have over 450 model Truck,s Trailer,s and car,s! This model kit is awesome ecspecially if you buy the kit where you can either make the single Cabover without the sleeper or with the sleeper. Now here,s, what I did! Being the kit has a split cab, I made a double sleeper Cabover out of the 2 kit,s then I made one cool looking single Cabover with a stretched frame both came out beautiful. By the way Ollie's Store,s every now and then they sell old 1970 kit,s AMT/ERTL $20 buck,s a piece last year!! I bought the store out in my hometown. I have just about every kit they ever made.enough to keep me busy till my time is up.👍🏼
Thank you! 450, You've got quite the collection! I recently picked up the GMC General and the 40' beaded panel trailer, both coke versions. Have about 6 more or so semi kits in the stash. Thanks for watching!
Just came across your channel and subbed. Love big rigs and models. I am disabled and don't get to build that much, but enjoy and support other channels and do a live stream on Thursday night at 6pm est. Have a great weekend. Terry
Good looking Freightliner you got there Eric I grew up in the 70's. My older brother had CB fever also. Then I caught it. Anyway, I'm out here in Shaky Town and welcome aboard.
good job on your semi truck.im hoping maybe next year .you know maybe next summer.im hoping that I could build 2 semi truck .my Chevy astro 95.and my moving on semi truck out ove 5 trucks never been built.maybe even a wrecker.😮I think I might have 8 all together.😮
Vey nice builds one little tip on the Freightliner is the instructions show the cab lock down upside down { the black handles on the back of the cab} if you swap them from side to side so they point down will be more accurate,the instructions got them wrong otherwise very nice work on both
Thanks for the tip! You gotta love those old amt big rig instructions. I actually seen a 1:1 white freightliner at a truck show just recently and noticed that. Thanks!
Yes this is a monster with that STUPID seam!!! But I got it build. Seam shows an I don't care...I Like it and that's all I got to say about that. Stay with it Brother of the styrene. And ad Luka Cee says....... because it's FUN!!!....AND Remember you keep building them and I will keep watching them. Ttyl. Nice build. 👍👍👍.
Rolled up on your channel, welcome to the community, subbed ya. Nice freightliner, I built that kit with a stretch frame, fenders, custom paint. Check 'em out. TCWAGS 👍😎

This hobby keeps me alive.
@@outfield1988 👍👍
My favorite all time truck. I built it in 1977 when I was 14. My uncle drove won.
@outfield1988 This one has its fair share of issues for me, but overall, it's not a bad kit.
@@ericsmodelgarage You gave me to motivation to work on a truck as soon as I7 finish my Cartoon Network Taurus.

Found your channel tonight. I built a White Road Boss many years back.
Hey thanks for watching! I've got a road boss in the stash. Hoping to do the Mack final reveal here very soon
Nice cab over

@@ericsmodelgarage i built model trucks myself
@flights47 They can be tedious, but worth it all when finished
Welcome to the Styrene Party!
Glad to be a part if it!
Cool build Eric!
Thank you, much appreciated!

The Movin' on truck is sweet, I'm planning on building one of those sometime myself. Good luck with your builds. Thanks for watching!

Good looking rig. Not sure I'd have the patience for this one.
This one was quite challenging after about 20 years since I had built a big rig
@@ericsmodelgarage haven't built a big rig in about 40 years. Itching to rectify that.

Definitely a monster of a build but somehow, well worth it in the end. Happy modeling!

Needs a visor
I actually had misplaced the visor. I've found it since but haven't installed it yet
Grab handles are in the wrong spot, If you like it, it's golden
