OldTrucker Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Thinking of pulling the trigger on this one but want the best price I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The price directly from Round2 (via AutoWorld) is $61.99. So I'd consider that to be the upper ceiling. It's the shipping that'll get you considering the size and weight of the kit vs. a normal car kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I don't know how much of a hurry you are in, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up at Hobby Lobby in the next couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 After watching Chris' ( @hpiguy) unboxing & build of this kit , I'm terribly tempted to buy one , too ! Is this an old ERTL 'tooling-restoration-and-improvement' project ? I'm truly impressed by what seems to be a 100% new kit ! That cab interior insert (door panels , headliner , sleeper ) is perhaps its finest appointment ! Now if only the pickups and passenger cars kits would have this feature ! According to Chris , this kit "practically fell-together" . That's always good to hear when working with any kit , and especially a tractor . (1) NEW MOLDS!

INTERNATIONAL TRANSTAR CO 4070A SEMI TRACTOR 1/25 SCALE MODEL KIT Build Review AMT 1203 - YouTube This is by far and away the easiest and most well thought out semi tractor I've ever assembled. If they were all designed like this I'd review way way more of them. I've done the more modern Revell and Italeri kits and they were good, but this revamped Ertl was nothing but easy the entire time. I had not even one frustrating moment and I've mentioned on a few of the AMT semi tractors and tow truck that they take a very very patient hand and going over the directions a few times. They are not for the beginner. This 4070A went together like a modern Moebius Ford kit. Easy peasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
