chuckyr Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Nice build. I think I heard somewhere they are going to reissue this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapazleo Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Nice build. If they bring it back I hope they retool and put it on a WS frame instead of a Freightliner frame. Either way nice clean build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I would settle for the battery boxes from the 5964 as opposed to a correct frame, I could deal with the frame easier Nice looking Western Stars. Both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I hope they reissue this kit as well, I'd love to have one, I used to have the sortimo version and it was awesome. I wish someone would make the newer style truck, like the Lomax or something like that, that would be great!!! NICE BUILD THOUGH! as said before I love the color.

Jim B Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Can the Italeri Western Star Australia be converted into a left hand drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yep, good re-issue subject. It builds up into a nice replica as we see here. Good job, both of you. i'm not very fond of brown usually, but it suits this truck nicely Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckyr Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I've said this before, it wouldn't be a major investment on Italeri's part. Pretty much a new hood, they already have the cab from the 5900. Use the 60 Series from the Pete, rear suspension from the FLD Freightliner. Pretty much kit bash a "new" kit, they did it with the Fords. They only companies I see making anything modern are Italeri and Moebius They only companies I see making anything modern are Italeri and Moebius Moebius definitely, Italeri, for some reason lately they seem to be having problems issuing new kits. Revell just reconstituted both their US and German operations. Technically they are in a position to offer some new tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
