@MericanMade and anyone else who’s interested. One thing I like to do when I build them is use the actual engine and automotive paints if you are trying to match exact. Primer everything before you paint with Krylon or Rustoleum red oxide or gray primer. I use a lot of Duplicolor spray paints like their cast iron and cast aluminum for detail parts and their engine paints. It really makes it turn out more real looking when finished.
I like to glue the frame and chassis together and than spray it. Same with engine block. The rest of the stuff I leave it on the trees and spray them. Just easier for me and I don’t lose parts. Brush paints are used for the fine small details.
What model year range is this White Freightliner?

I use that technique for details on bolt heads, screws, and little parts or when there is two different colored parts bolted together when I prepare or truck and car shows.650cat425 and MericanMade Thank this. -
I normally decant the paint if a bomb can is the only option then run it through the airbrush. Especially for big truck engine colors thats what I do, that way I can buy it at the auto parts store.

They called equipping a 250 Cummins with a turbo as adding a smoke kit, got it up to 270 hp, iirc.
A now defunct tanker company ran red on white cab overs with the Cummins.
They had just a few new conventionals, and the newer trucks had 335s and 350s. 1975 was the year.SmallPackage and 650cat425 Thank this. -
