1977 International Fleetstar 2070A and Loadcraft Lowboy


Recommended Posts

The model was finished about a year ago, with an AITM resin cab set onto a frame that was a hodge-podge of spares from a couple Transtar and Paystar kits. The plan then was to do up a matching trailer and then load it down with a junked-out old highway tractor or straight truck. Recently I dug out a glue-bomb AMT lowboy that was missing the deck and tie-down cleats, so I repainted it, redid the deck, and lettered it to match the truck. As with the other Loadcraft trailer I have the plan is to eventually make some working tie-downs for the sides. I went with diamond plate for the deck- in real life you'd want to add more cross-braces to the frame of the trailer to do that, but I just added this over the existing crossmembers.
