1959scudetto Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Super Truck, Randy!!!I have saved the pics as an inspiration for mine that I built 30 years ago as a logger, but ruined it with too much weathering - must be restored/rebuilt some day.Absolutely great what you show us here!!!

flatbedfrankie Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Great looking rig. The yellow color really pops. I seen a similar setup on a heavy duty Peterbilt at my local Peterbilt dealer. Looks fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7000in5th Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Fantastic job, Randy. It warms my heart to see a well done International! Just one bit of trivia - when that kit was first produced, Ertl got the instructions, the holes in the hood and the box art for the air intake on the left side hood oriented 90 degrees off. The bars should not be horizontal but rather should be vertical, as shown here: The kit has never been corrected. By the way, weathering is fun. The picture above is a good example of a well used truck and the colors involved. Keep those Internationals rolling!!

ap40rocktruck Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Colors are great & the 12 x 24 boots make it stand tall & mean. Interesting use of Mack wheels, but spokes are better that chrome junk in the kit. Ap40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
