I think the Transtar 4070A was modified into the Transtar 4070B, and the Transtar 4200 might have been modified into the Transtar 4300 but I'm not sure.

I would think the Transtar II COE would be very popular. I know I woiuld buy one! As for a warp free Bison or General, that would be nice, but I don't think it's possible.

That's really nice!

Thanks, Carl.

Glad to help.

That's what they said about the Kenworth T600 when it came out in the 1980s.

Fantastic trailer! That sure takes up some shelf space. It's a really good looking combination.

Check with Eric over at P&P Resin Works. He has a 358 hood, the Little Window cab, & lift axle you'll need.

Thanks, Doug.

Thanks, guys. Chuck, yes, this is the snap kit. Revell is supposed to be reissuing it soon.

Thanks, guys. He's on a back haul. :)

Here are some photos of my son's latest creation. This was a collaborative effort: Marilla removed some of the parts from the trees, Matthew removed parts fro the trees & built the truck, and I trimmed that parts as necessary with the hobby knife & did a little painting. Oh, and I repaired the shifter that got broken. The kit is the Monogram 1/32 Ford AeroMax120 (LTLA9000) that was released back in the 1990s, and the trailer is a 1/32 NewRay diecast that I got from a member on another group several years ago. Hope you enjoy the shots. Yes, it's "ice road truckin'"!

Nice stretch job.

Anybody ever heard of these guys: http://modeljunkyard.com/

Excellent model! I am looking forward to this one.

Chuck, do you mean R&K Resins? If you do, Rick is still around, and he is starting casting again. He did tell me that most of the molds from R&K went to Dave at AITM. So, Dave might actually have the mold for the hood.

Great looking frame! And it's really good to see kids showing interest in model building. We have to train the next generation, because no one else will.

Australia really is!

I believe there is also a dolly in the Ford C900 & US Mail trailer kit. I have a couple of those kits. I could check if you'd like.

Great story & great pics. That's a nice looking Star!
