    I Just got my muffin magnets on the NEW Searails BIG RIG FRETS.
    A picture was in a previous thread. They are excellent in detail and will stand up to any z trucks out there. The three tractors are- straight, Half sleeper and full sleeper SUPER TRUCK. They are handsome big square hood American Rigs. The fret also includes 3 different containers, 3 flat beds and 3 container chassis and finally a dolly.
    These are not toys but very detailed models. They are good enough for foreground use!
    Makes my chop shop micro machines look like they were carved from a stlagmite.
    I suggest you all check em out. Jim says he has the postal problems all straightened out.
    Best,
    Fred

    Fred, have you painted them yet. We sure love to see pictures of the trucks painted. Very tempted to order a set.

    Can they be painted with Floquil Solvent Base paints? I tried to paint some make my models RP stuff with Floquil, and after 2 months it still was not dry. Is theis a different type of RP material?

    Floquil works fine on our material but I prefer acrylic paints such as Polly Scale and Tamiya . I can't comment on materials from others - I haven't seen it.
