International transtar 4300 eagle
Goodwrench3 replied to PierreR89's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Hi -- Looks fantastic ! I had heard that the front axle needs to be moved a bit for the front tires to be centered in the wheel openings. Did you do anything for that issue ? Or did you build it box stock ? -

New project on tap
Goodwrench3 replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
So did you put down a primer coat first? Or just shoot this stuff on bare plastic ? Just reading the can label it says it's a paint and primer all-in-one. Haven't used that before so I'm curious! -

B.R.B.O. Peterbilt 352
Goodwrench3 replied to Goodwrench3's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Yeah.. you ain't kidding it's a real pain. Another marvel of AMT engineering :-( I built this kit when I was like 13 yrs old and no way did I struggle with it like this thing. Was the original kit 40 yrs ago that much better? -
Either !! or even better -- both !! And I would love to see a grain trailer kit like the Transtar II Eagle is pulling on the box !

best beginner amt truck model
Goodwrench3 replied to Constructiongeek's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Correct me if i don't have this correct -- I had heard that since the 4300 used the 4270 mold (different hood length for the 4300) that the front axle needed to be relocated a bit to get the front wheels to center in the wheel opening of the front fenders ? -

The one thing I can say about the AMT 1/25 truck kits is *DO NOT* start with the Freightliner cabover ! I'm currently working on the AMT Pete 352 cabover, and this one has fit issues (as do almost all AMT truck kits). -
I'm liking that one !!!

Goodwrench3 replied to Goodwrench3's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Hey guys -- any of you that have built this kit: did you run into this issue where the rear drive shaft between the drive axles seems too long ?? Here's a pic of mine -- if you did, what did you do ?? -
I've been talking to him for the past few months at our club meetings -- and there is nobody that pays more attention to detail and quality. Outstanding !!

Future Possible Moebius Semi Trailer Kit?
Goodwrench3 replied to chuckyr's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
In other words, put a ProStar and a LoneStar in your stash now before they are gone forever -- in case there isn't another "spot run". Thanks. -
