TruckerAL Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Just wrapped this beauty up tonight. I can't stop staring at it! Started with the newly released 4070a. Shortened the frame about an inch. I also decided to go out of my comfort zone and painted/detailed the spokes for my first time ever. They came out flawless! Swapped out the kit 8v71 for an 8v92 from a Tyrone Malone hideout KW. Converted the exhaust to a single exhaust system, styrene mudflaps, cab lights from a White Freightliner, a.c. unit from the Lousiville snowplow kit, and some other odds and ends here and there. Overall I'm super satisfied with this build! Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks guys Edited February 27, 2022 by TruckerAL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug 1061 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Looks good. This is a nice kit overall. I have one in the works right now. Now it needs a trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I like it! The hubometer is a nice touch too! I like the turn out on the stack! A lot of old A model Transtars had a turn out like that. Looks great! Very nice work!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toys4Don2 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 For some reason I really like this truck in red. You nailed it, and the mods make it unique. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Great job on the mods and overall build of one of the best big rig kits available. I built both the older ERTL transtar kit and the newly release 4070. If only all other AMT kit were that easy. Awesome build.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruckerAL Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Thank you everyone😁! I think I'm going to buy a new release Great Dane reefer for this one, if I can find it for a good price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raisin27 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Beautiful build, my next one will have the shortened wheelbase too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
