Tim, When did they stop using the cab mounted exhaust? I always found this setup interesting, especially when they were mounted in the recessed corners of the cab (possibly to save space on length laws)?
Awesome work on the Pete! Great idea using coroplast for the building, it looks just like corrugated siding. Having sign experience really helps in model building!

That sounds like an interesting project. Are you going to do the Freightliner as well? Also, do you have any more pics of the IH Transtar in your avatar photo?

Nice work Jim, it definitely has the 70's fleet look. Russ MacNeil's link on Hank's is where I go for all of my reference pics as well. I wish I would have thought to take a bunch of photos back then.

The only resin kit I have ever completed was this 4090A super transtar. It is sourkraut's cab conversion on a 4070B chassis and it went together better than some box stock kits that I have built. It also comes with the Detroit 12V71 engine for a couple extra bucks. Well worth the $77!
