Goodwrench3 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Darn. Wish it was the Transtar II Eagle cabover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBradKeselowski Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That's bizarre as it was re-released 2-3 years ago, I've got one still sealed. They must have discontinued it and are re-releasing it again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wku88 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Does anyone make a conversion kit for a 9300 to fit this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazed Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 There used to be an old race truck based on this kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Jamie at Mo'Luminum used to make one, but I do not know if it is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wku88 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Looks like Sour Kraut carried the Mo'luminum conversion, but it is listed as sold out. Thanks for the info, at least I will know what to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 AMT releasing an ERTL product? Hmmm, looks like they maybe buying the rights to all the ERTL truck models and may be planning to re leasing most or all of them just like they seem to be doing with all there own old kits. Yes, it appears truck model hobby must be booming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel-Dan Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I believe this is the one I need for our town's 4400 RescueGot to get as much info on it as I can NOWreplacing it AND an Engine with a 'Rescue-Pumper' combination unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it appears truck model hobby must be booming.Round2 acquired the Ertl tooling when they purchased what RC2 had, but it was mentioned (maybe on the Collector Model blog) they acquired none of the Ertl Agricultural molds-- M-F tractor, farm trailer, etc.RC2 already reissued the Transtar II Eagle cabover, so I'm pretty confident we'll see that one reissued in the next few years. The 4300 and KW cabover must've been fairly good sellers fro Round2 to run them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4300 and KW cabover must've been fairly good sellers fro Round2 to run them again. Sad thing is, that was 21 years ago. Think of all the sales they could've had and the builds we could've had if they would've done one or two more runs since then. I often wonder about why these companies pass on the no-brainer stuff.

disabled modeler Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Id like to see them re-issue the IH S and F series trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The last time the Transtar II cabover was released was the late 90's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 For those interested in Ertl's International truck kits, there was extensive coverage of this subject (including most of the applicable box art) in the December 2017 issue of the other model car magazine. During preparation of that article, I was told by my Round 2 contact that there were no plans at the time to reissue the 4070B Transtar II Eagle Cabover, nor the even more desirable original CO-4070A version of this kit tool (Ertl's first-ever 1/25th scale kit). And yes, they were aware of what these kits are selling for in the collector market.... TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your conversation could you tell if they have run the mold and know it works but just don't want to bring it out right now or that there's a problem with the mold or that they haven't looked in to it at all?

Brian....my source wasn't talking....but as another forum member said earlier in this thread, since the Eagle version was reissued in the late 1990's, one would hope that tool still exists. But in doing the article and comparing the two kits, there were quite a number of changes from the original 4070A kit (the one I'd most like to see reissued) and the 4070B Eagle, so my guess is that the 4070A kit in its original form will never be reissued...TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that if we do see it again it will most likely be the Eagle version unless they commit to backdating the tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long I could get me grubby paws on it I'd be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
