iamsuperdan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Well, now that Issue 212 is in subscribers' hands, I can post some more pics of this one. AMT's International CO-4070A. Built it box stock, as a fairly basic fleet spec. Yeah, went with chrome parts, but still wanted that base fleet vibe. Was super surprised at how this kit went together. It did not feel like I was building an AMT kit at all. Parts were crisply molded, every part was numbered, the instructions were clear and precise. I hpe all future AMT kits are like this. The only issue I had was of my own doing. I managed to lose the shifter. Ah well. Need to build a matching trailer for it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AMT Fruehauf 40ft trailer. I have a couple of the Coke ones. Will just need to make a couple of Elsinore Beer decals for the sides.

I built one of the originals 50 years ago and still remember how well it went together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Very clean and beautiful build . This is truly a modern kit and it is a pleasure to build. Like you, I am waiting for warmer skies to take outside pictures. That white paint will really pop in the outside sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1959scudetto Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Very nice build - I imagine myself a white "Bekins Van Lines" tractor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Very nice work! I wish they altered the way they made the fuel tanks and chrome pipe work. Separate fuel tank ends to get rid of the seam would have been good. Apart from that, probably the best model truck kit currently on the market. Ben.
