Ok looks like I'm too late to vote I'm on the bandwagon with the slots too lol

Awesome work love watching your builds come together

Hey Kerry, youll have to post pics of the 41 COE when ya get time, I really like the older coe trucks. Been seriously thinking about building the GMC Crackerbox aitm sells, can't tell ya what it is about that cab, just know I'd love one in the collection

Thanks for the heads up !!I noticed last night about 3 hrs later it still felt like low tack tape vs tamiya usually seemed cured. I attributed it to the high humidity, but sounds like a trait of this paint.

Heres my first try at sorting out the PB freedom ..moved my "prized" photos over to the flickr I sprayed the first of two colors, a very high metallic platinum from testors line the first coat ..note the new water feature in the backyard we have after the recent flooding lol then I rushed and sprayed a couple coats of ultra gloss clear..came out blotchy but wil level out and be polished after the blue stripe anyway We had a huge storm dumping tons of rain on our town, makes for an usual shot in the background, glad the cuttty in on high ground !!!

thanks joe..so since I'm barely computer literate, if I type the img before and at the end ofpasting the image from Flickr everything should work? I thought before using fotki there was a different icon we used to attach the pics. Hoped this was similar.

LOL thanks Kerry !! I have the next 4 day off so this will certainly get plenty of attention All the chrome was scratched in the package so I decided to send the chrome trees into the "pond"for an overnight soak. I hit a snag when it dawned on me that I used up all the gloss black base. Sounds like a trip to lhs for supplies ! Those fine pinstripes are gonna test my skills to mask and airbrush

fail no pic must be missing something..

Very very well done bash

I agree gator everyone seems to like the IH trucks , but no rumors about re issues. Maybe someone who attends the larger shows can chat up the manufacturer and convince them to ! thanks ! If the enamel ever dries I can start detailing

nice job !!

thanks Jacobus !

rolling stone gathers no moss..well I dusted off the Iwata airbrush and painted the frame. I went simple gloss black after reading the 1:1 truck was wrecked in a horrific rollover and restored . The Detroit will be a dark red, weathered lightly. Think Ill keep the interior the suggested maroon, but detail it with a dark wash to pop the details. heres the painted frame and suspension that's it for now ! any truck chat welcome ! lol

Thanks Dennis !!! This coe and the kwhopper aerodyne is my favorite, step dad drove the newer version of the transtar that no one casts !

Thanks guys !

The trailer seen in the photo I hope to have attached to the truck, if KJ gets enough interest from buyers in making more !! The older wood deck Fruehauf would be more period correct..but the modern trailer REALLY looks great behind it .

A fellow modeler I wont name here..Tbill..challenged me to build a truck kit straight from the box since all my recent builds get stalled from motivation. I finally caved in feeling the challenge would be a spark..or Id fail miserably. That's where you guys come in..I'll keep building this one OOB..just help me stay on track lol !! The trouble is, he has knowledge of this kit..and if I try to sneak in something except different paint scheme, the gig is up !! SO.I figure posting here would be my way to keep it an honest OOB . Thanks Tbill for double dog daring me..I needed a slump buster . The decals were pretty wasted, and the paint scheme was the one rule I could get a pass on.. I went searching for inspiration. The next pic was taken from over drive magazine, my truck is being modeled after the Kelty Farms Transtar. enough gab about why this is going on..I landed a kit yrs ago and after hearing all the positive comments, I grabbed a new xacto blade and wiped the dust of the glue bottle..whew, here we go !!! No cheating was rule 2..so heres the box ! A few items were loose but completely unstarted !. after a couple hrs of gluing this to that ..a grin started to come across my face, and I had something resembling a chassis. All the rumors are true..this kit builds so easily and everything so far has fit perfect, that reaching this point seemed like cheating !! right before I had to stop to put our daughter to bed, I set the cab on just to see how things looked thanks for looking in..!! any comments or just truck chat encouraged !!

Forgot to ask..are you planing a reefer for this one or having one hauling a load of green beans ? I've seen that truck numerous times lol

This is gonna look great ! I scoured my parts box for possible wheels for ya, but nothing came close enough

Looking good from here ! Hopefully something from the box of parts will help ya along on this

Amazing transformation! !the workmanship is perfect, and unbelievable how fast you turned this cab into reality

I dont recall anything specific. .it was about 20 yrs ago back before using references to make everything correct took over my hobby !

Great color choice on the 32

Very cool build ! I built several of these kits when they first came out, between them and the IROC Z I couldn't get enough. Wish I'd kept the boxes we stored thm in now Keep up the great work
