Also though TS34 Camel Yellow would be a good choice for the cab. Maybe Green front fenders as well. Yellow cab, green fenders. Sounds eye catching.

I know it doesn't help your decision Welcome along ! Those KW snapper kits are surprisingly really nice kits ! The tires on mine were probably the only let down , but easily replaced w am parts . Yes they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redneckrigger Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I don't usually take part in builds with a finish line......... because I am almost certain to be a DNF. But, I'll give it a try! IHC Fleetstar 2070B. Cummins powered, not sure of the body yet....that is to be determined. And depending on the body chosen, it may morph into an 2070A. It is a very old resin from Jim Etter. I will be using almost 100% recycled parts and will cut and hinge the hood. Happy New Year!

Tom This truck reminds me of a truck that was in one of my old 1981 Auto World Magazine. The truck was built by Lou Kroack. Here’s some pics of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say Plaskit... I think you can get it from P&P resin... If I only had a memory I would not have to edit so much...

lwwoodss Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Looked in the KW kit I was planning to use and it did not have a cab. Something of a setback. Instead I plan to build a Frieghtliner FLD. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPNM Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I believe the deadline to enter is fast approaching. If so, I would like to still get in please. I don't have a kit yet but I plan on either an AMT fire truck of some type or, I just traded with another member for his Moebious Lonestar. It would be one of those two. I've been talking with a member here about fire engines and on the Lonestar trade neither of us has shipped yet so I've got nothing to show. Enter late, start late, but hope to finish ON TIME.
