International Transtar


Recommended Posts

I built this truck in the late 90's while out on workmens comp with a back injury. All told I think I built three or four tractors and maybe six trailers. I still have them but they are all in need of some sort of repairs or in need of a total rebuild. The model is basically box stock except for the headache rack from Rick Mark. And the model is lightly weathered.

The Pick up is a modified Revell snap kit with the Utility body and top from Moelhaus !

Nice looking Transtar.

What grill is on the pickup?  It looks like a Buick!

      Jim,

          Not sure what that grill is out of. My understanding of that snap kits was that it was based on a custom show truck, or it was someone artistic rendering made into a model. I think it is most likely a custom truck. It was a fun quick build .And was meant to be a filler vehicle for photos of my semi's.

  To everyone ,

                Thanks for your interest and support. It is greatly apprciated.

 

    Be Well
