I like it, I think my next truck build will be some kind of Ford

I am working on the AMT International Harvester Transtar cabover kit as my first semi truck build. I am no expert but I always thought the Cabover design was to shorten the length of the tractor so longer trailers could be used before deregulation when total length was limited. This kit seems to have a very long wheelbase. The distance between the fuel tanks and rear tires seems very long to me. I imagine they were offered in various wheelbases for different applications but why wouldnt they just use a conventional cab on a wheelbase this long? Is the kit correct? Thanks

Decided to do the tanks in Tamiya Aluminum. Got the interior done and am working on the smokestacks now. This kit really goes together well.

That looks amazing!

Decided to go with an aluminum silver for the tanks, painted them last night. Should have the frame done today then start the interior.

Thank you

Thanks, Its been a fun build so far

Thanks, Its an AMT International Transtar

My first ever Semi build. Whenever I do a kit that I have never done before I like to build a box stock version to "learn" the kit before doing a more detailed build. I have the engine and chassis mostly done but still haven't decided how I want to do the fuel tanks and air cleaner assembly as I don't think I like the "chrome" look on them. Thanks for looking

I just got home from the show. The online registration worked out great. Everything ready was ready when I got there and all I had to do was put my models on the tables! The turn out of automotive models was pretty good with some high quality builds on display. Swap meet didn't really have much for the auto builder though. In addition to the show I spent about 3 hours in the Air Force Museum, a must for the bucket list of anyone who has an interest in aviation. Won a few awards and had a good time!

Went to the "Nebraska Challenge Show" over the weekend. Got to meet some great people, see some awesome builds and even won a few awards!
