maxwell48098 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Built in 1983, I modified an Ertl CO-4070 cab & engine, scratch built frame, Ertl Paystar 5000 wheels & axles, and AMT Autocar bumper. The AMT ALF Customer pumper supplied the pump, pumper body and accessories. Color is safety orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwell48098 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Built in '83 and still looks like a great build! I like the cab modifications. Tim I still have many of my old builds. I have donated some of the fire apparatus models to various departments over the years, but I still have lots of these older builds today. I was quite surprised that they have survived a couple of house moves and are still together. Thanks, A.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southgate Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 What a super build, and from the '80s! Cargostars are such cool mid sized rigs. I'd like to see a tutorial on converting a Transtar into one. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
