Yeah, didn't think they needed a model, but sometimes you never know.
Decals will come from JT-Graphics. Will try to get these done in time for WF.
Parts will be cast by Timeslip (the guy who also made the Jack/creature figures so I assume they will be in the same bundle).
Photo etch - probably will ask ParaGrafix to run with that ball, get 'em done in silver.
At least ya got me motivated!
I'm doing the conversion parts - I bought the $$ Freightliner you guys hipped us to, so all I have to do is extend the cab height. I have rivet decals, and will laser cut new panels to graft. I have extended the fuel tanks and stripped the mounting brackets - those will all be photo etch with the step tread plates (those are already drawn).... so not a lot left to do, just have to carve out the time. Pre-Wonderfest, Pre-Comicon deadlines, and existing commission work has me busy, but I will try to get it done.
Oh - I am re-doing the whole exhaust stacks too, because the heat shields are photo etch as well... so the stacks will be new from the ground up (the kit needed to be modded any way).
This is what I got.

Timeslip will be selling them so I have no idea. I might see if Paragrafix will do the PE separately. Dunno if it would be a big seller though.

Random question, but does anybody know the name of the title font for Big Trouble in Little China ??
I had hopes of finding the Italeri kit. The illustration indicates the fuel tanks are bigger on this kit over the Revell kit. The sleeper top is an easy fix.

Roughed out the dims, and grafted the pieces. Next up is blending them seamlessly, squaring them up, and adding the rivets.
