Have built vigorously in the past weeks
Since I want to build all International Cabover Trucks based on the 4070 Transtar, the next one was the 7044a.
A relatively unknown version of the 4070.
A special feature is the four-wheel drive.
The front axle and the one rear axle are driven.
The 2nd axle is a dolly that is anchored to the chassis with a fifth wheel via a trailer hitch.
My 7044 is based on an ERTL Transtar2 Kit.
Since the kit only has rear-wheel drive, the conversion here was complex.
Front axle, chassis, dolly, hydraulic brake lines, cabin front, grille, ... Much had to be built by yourself.
Greatings from cold Germany,...
