bandit 1 I built this kit one time when i was a teen and it was pretty simple build and i didnt even paint it but even with the molded color and the decals it still looked awesome i actually want to do this kit again and the transtar eagle cabover the sleeper door and luggage compartment open if i remember right it goes well with the logging trailer or if remember right i paired it up with the tri-axle dump kit it looked awesome

nice cornbinder

maybe after i dress this it will look ok seems like its missen somethin??????

i dont know that i am wild about the paint on this or the short wheel base but i went on the few replies that i got and my g/f said leave the paint so i ran with it
