    I am Kitbashing a KW T800 day cab into a T800 with a sleeper. I am using the old showcase miniatures T600 sleeper and part of the frame from the #44 I type builders pack. I need to lengthen the frame. what is nice about the T800 kit is the 5th wheel is a separate part from the kit frame. so i marked on the original frame where the 5th wheel needs to be and then cut the main frame underneath halfway of the of the 5th wheel piece.this is to make the 5th wheel plate a gluing point.then I cut the frame from the builder kit to the length I needed. then glued that to the 5th wheel plate [this makes a good bonding point for the two halves] I also used two fuel tanks from the #62 accessory set to lengthen the fuel tanks.

    Where is the picture located? In general, you'd paste the address the picture is located at (right click the image for properties and copy the address that shows)

    Looking at the code in the element of the photo, it appears it is located on your PC (it is simply the name of a file, and not even all that). If the photo is on your PC, then, when writing your post, there is a button at the lower right that says "upload a file". Pressing that allows you to point to a file on your PC, and then specify how you want it to look (thumbnail or full size; and whether inline or at bottom of post).

    If the photo is already somewhere else on the Internet (photobucket, etc), then pressing the image icon allows you to paste the location into the BBS code needed to properly display the link.

    I asked Joe to look into bringing back the Aerodyne sleeper several months ago. Looks good! I think I have a T-600 around here somewhere. Bob.

    Love those T600s. Just wish I could have gotten one before they stopped making them.
