International Paystar 5000 Cement Mixer


Recommended Posts

I built ths one probably 15 years ago. Like all Ertl truck and trailer kits I know building was a pleasure. Everyting is box-stock, only the rear fenders appeared way too long to my eyes.

 

Currently the kit seems to be OOP. My kit still had 11 standard tires. Later re-issues had two very wide front tires.

Super clean build Thomas.

Guys....what is the extremely extended front bumper for?  

Geez, I rented an apartment that had a smaller balcony.

Since I saw no reply to your question I'll chime in. The reason for the large bumper is because this truck has a PTO that is driven from the front of the engine crankshaft. This PTO mounts in front of the radiator, between the frame rails.

That's a nice rig.  I agree; you did right by the rear fenders.  Makes it look like it should look.  Great colors too.

All of the above, plus I am impressed by the skill required to mask the mixer to achieve that effect.
