BozzerSurprisingly, not all of the parts are used. AMT shared the chrome sprues with another of their kits, so you should have lots of spares. Bleach will make easy work of stripping that chrome. Usually in under a minute.

Kenneth Gifford AuthorNot too sure about that. Back to work now and will not have much bench time. Truck driving in the snow season means long hours... only 4.5 years till retirement.

Bob HallCareful of that snow and fog ! I was in the Middle median when this happened in Lubbock few years back, I parked my patrol car in the middle thankfully !

DEADTIME That's wild that you are the cop that escaped! I saw that video a while ago and watched it at least 10 times! God was watching over you my friend! From a soldier to a cop thanks for your duty.

Bob HallOh No, not me running, I was in the middle of the lanes. That was another Trooper and a few from the Lubbock S.O. . That was me at the end after swinging my patrol car around talking to an investigator from TXDOT.
25 Years Army here, HOOAH ! I been a Trooper last 10 years now. Thank You for your service.

BozzerIn all the things that I've seen in my life, including countries, cultures and cooking, I always admire the respect that the American people give to their service people. The world should model itself, on the respect that you earn, and give eachother! I've worked alongside our NHS teams, and seen the crap they get. Nobody deserves that, especially when they're trying to help you, and possibly save your life?
America has it's faults, sure, but with the respect of the decent, honest people, it will always be the greatest country.
I fly the flag, above my bed, to remind my wife, and myself, how lucky we both are.
Thank you for your service, gentlemen.

BozzerSorry Kenneth, I got carried away.
Watch out for the instructions for the cab. I read the instructions wrong, and put the headlight mounts on the outside of the cab! Schoolboy error, but to correct after painting, is a lot of work! Other than that, it's not a bad kit at all. The usual flash and clean up, as we've come to expect from such old moulds, but nothing crazy.

Kenneth Gifford AuthorAll good sir. I only did 6 years in the army as a truck driver and have continued on as a driver. 40 years of driving these big things, I've had enough.

BozzerThank you.
However, your knowledge and personal experience, is invaluable to people on here, so stick with it. Some old pictures someday, in a separate album, would be worth looking at? I'm sure that you've driven some cool rigs, in your time?

DEADTIME I was 19 Kilo/Bravo for 21 years, my back and knees finally gave up after climbing on and off my M1 and they offered a new MOS that would make me a desk commando but I told them hell no, I'm a tanker with tons of combat time outside the green zone. So I got a medical retirement and became a PMC (private military contractor) for about another 10 years.

Bob HallMy First 3 years was as a 19 Delta, Reclassed 95 Bravo that later was redesignated 31 Bravo with a K9 identifier and held Dual MOS ever since.

Michael KohlOh that box looks ancient. You did some heavy and obviously successfully unwarping there. Hope it gets easier from now on.

Kenneth Gifford AuthorIt's the 2017 release, don't recall where I got it or how much I paid. I guess I forgot to enter it into scalemates when it entered my collection. Everything is going together nicely, as far as sub assemblies goes.
