Sam I Am Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) I have not touched a model in over a year. A friend sent me this last week and so I came on to see what was going on in the truck section and found this build thread. Is it too late for me to join in? The bare frame rails and fuel tanks appear to be the only thing started. Just re-re-read the rules. Frame and tanks are now in pieces.

SpreadAxle Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I've done community builds but never a contest. I will jump in with this one I never considered my work to be of "contest quality" . It's an early-issue International Transtar 2 kit with the air ride rear suspension. It's an ebay built-up I bought years ago. Every tractor needs a trailer. I buy these transporters to build as moving vans, and that's what this one will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I think I’m 2 for 3 in finishing on time ( I think......), so going to try to stay focused this time ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
