The new AMT international 4070a is a brand new mold. They 3d scanned the original ERTL kit and cleaned it up fixed any construction issues and thank the lord put part numbers on the sprues. It goes together like a dream it’s a bit more expensive than the other kits but it’s worth it, at my local hobby shop people are buying 3-4 at a time. I just wish Round 2 would do this with all their kits, I would pay the bump in price for them. I’m too old to build shitty kits.

Hi, if you click on "VIDEOS" on the top of my main page, it will show you all 31 Videos I have uploaded so far. Click on "what types of glues to use" I explain how I install the glass in that video.
If you mean, how would I glue on a painted part? The best way is to scrape away a tiny bit of paint where the glue will touch, and use styrene glue. Or, you can use epoxy to glue a painted part without scraping it. The same can be done with chrome parts.
There's few guys offering both pre made hoses as well as little glad hands and electrical connectors to make your own. One site that has them is modeltruckbuilder.com and Kootenay model parts on Facebook.
Hi Bud, yes I did. It's in my Fotki albums. I did make another video that's on here explaining it as well. If you're on Facebook, find me and I can send you the Cruiseliner video. My name is Ben Wicker. My avatar pic on Facebook is a kitten holding a suitcase.
That trick with putting tiny holes in pieces and stick it onto a stick is hell of genius 😁👌
That is looking fantastic. I do hope you are able to finish it up.

where did you go? Are you well?
Should I prime my small parts? Thanks.
Once you’ve painted your parts what type of glue will use to paint them and how will you apply that paint?

Did you cut the sleeper off of the cab? If so, did you make a video of it?
