  1. Got a legit Temu email along with this "other one" Confiimation Teemu- Urrgent nottice deliivery 0fyour packaage.........
  2. And now one from Wally Mark???
  3. Got another one just an hour ago Slate Firm Insurence , and Krouger storres I'm guessing that those were supposed to be State Farm & Kroger.....
  4. More likely a QC issue.. I have the '69 galaxie kit . and used the white stripes on a semi truck kit. those didn't have an issue. The Rat Fink trailer decals (I have Three sets) so far none have had an issue. The Miller beer one's not wanting to stick now that was an issue! Round2 did replace the Payhauler 350 decals, the second set worked without any issues..
  5. I still have trouble with my spelling as I tend to spell words by how they sound. I also have trouble with grammar as well due to a Learning disability. Which still gives me issues with that and math skills, Fractions don't compute well in my head. I understand the fraction just not multiplying them!
  6. Buying a new issue of a Round2 (amt) model only to find that the quality of the decal's is bad. International Harvester Pay Hauler 350. Decal's crumbled after being place in water. AMT Miller Beer Trailer decal's refusing to stick to the trailer. Had lack of adhesive on decal backs. So I had to coat the decal backs with Testors window making glue (aka cockpit glue)
  7. I've been getting a lot of spam email sent not only to my spam mail, but also my regular email as well Misspelled works are a tipoff of it being a scam- Temu being spelled Temuu or Teemu. Omaha Steaks spelled Omaha Stteaks, Notice-Nottice, Delivery -Delivvery,and package- Packkage... There's ben other's that say they are from Tracctor supplly , and some other easy to spot scam email's. Any other's that you guy's have gotten that you noticed the bad spelling of??? I just delete the ones I get never open them!
  8. Well I thought I finally got the decals I ordered off ebay. Just to find out all that was in the envelope was the cardboard and a bit of blue tape that would have held the decals in place. Then noticed the bottom of the envelope was taped closed with magic tape..
  9. As do I but to check tracking of packages one has to go to their website. Which since the "new Improved" Mail no longer Updates for the next day at 8 pm EDT. Which was a nice feature so I knew if I needed to be home the next day....
  10. USPS hasn't just screwed up delivery of packages/mail! They decided to modify their Informed delivery app online. Once it was you signed in, then after it verified that you went to the next page to do what was needed, as clicking informed delivery. Page three would pop up so you could see what was supposed to be in that day's mail. After the Change (multifactor sign in) it can take 9 pages- to 20 if it decides to atomatically sign you out during the process of trying to access informed delivery! Changing things isn't always for the better that's for sure. It's supposed to reduce hacking of a USPS account online... Dumb indeed it's just like a car if someone is going to steal one , there going to steal one no matter what!
  11. This Truck kit will have hundreds of mile's added to thanks to USPS. Left Gastonia , North Carolina. Then it took a trip to Princeton West Virginia , and then to Logan Ohio. Now it's back in Columbus Ohio! Following the tracking it took Interstate 77 from Gastonia NC. To Logan Oh in about 7 Hours. and another hour to Columbus..
  12. USPS LOGISTIC'S : Package 1. Decals from a seller in Florida. Arrived in Columbus Oh on July 4th, which normally that means that they would be at my Post office Saturday July 5th. Nope delivery date July 7th instead, Fast forward to July 10th still no decals, and no updates since the 8th ! Delivery date un-known arriving LATE! Package 2:.. A Semi truck kit bought from a seller in Battle Creek Michigan. Arrived July 8th at Columbus Ohio with a delivery date of July 9th. Instead of sending it to my Post office in Van Wert Oh it went to North Carolina instead! late last night it departed Gastonia North Carolina for who know's where next! Package 3: A amt north American Trailer from a seller in Pa. Arrived in Columbus Ohio July 9th, and then Arrived at my local Post office early this morning for delivery. USPS using the most efficant route's for Delivery (according to USPS..) So today I'll be going to the local P.O. to see if they can track down the decals package...
  13. I think USPS in Columbus Ohio has an issue with me. Bought decals on ebay. Decals are still in non delivery H e double hockey sticks. Now today I was supposed to get a Model I bought BIN on ebay from Michigan which was in Columbus yesterday afternoon. They decided to send it to North Carolina! for freaks sake I'm just over a two hour drive north west of Columbus. Also have another kit that's coming from PA, that arrived in Columbus today, and supposed to be here tomorrow. Not Looking good USPS!!!
  14. Ebay: Decal set from a seller on there. spent 4 days bouncing around Florida, finally got to Indy, then Columbus on July 4th, been in transit to the local P.O. Since then. Should have gotten them Saturday, Then was shown to be Monday, and Now it's unknown to USPS when they will be in my mail box! Ordered a Trailer kit on the the 3rd of July, and Yesterday it was delivered to our door step!
  15. Didn't Ford use different shades of blue on engines at times?? I mean you could buy a Ford Galaxie 500, and a guy in the neighborhood buys a Galaxie 500 a couple months later and his engine is a lighter shade of blue that your car has. Yet they are the same make, Model, and year.
  16. Sorry for the poor quality photo's which are taken from my phone via the computers camera.
  17. Val Kilmer- April 1,2025 which isn't May.
  18. Please note the dash difference as well as the Interior floor pan changes from the 4070 a to 4070B Transtar II
  19. That is up to you. My late dad worked at International Harvester in Fort Wayne Indiana. His job was painting the Cab's/Hoods of the Transtar's/Paystar 5000. from 1962-83 Fort Wayne Indiana. 85-86 Springfield IH Truck plant: 87-92 Navistar International Same Springfield, Oh Factory...
  20. Transtar II Build. When Ertl changed the kit from the 4070a to Transtar II the chassis was was from the 4070 a (air ride rear) the second issue which is the copy in these photo's was changed to Walking beam. Just letting you know.
  21. Differences 4070 a? Transtar II are: Headlight pans, Windshield wiper placement, Change of step design (under cab doors) Ridges on acess door on front of the cab, Interior: The dash is totally different in the Transtar II as are the seat design. Production of the Transtar II Began in 1974, And as you stated known as the "B" series.
  22. Not to nit pick, But the Magnavox truck isn't a 4070a, It's a Transtar II. How ever there was a Transtar 4070a in the film as well. The 4070a is in Pabst Blue Ribbon Livery. Bonus because someone makes the decals for the Pabst 4070a! This truck show up along with the Transtar II when they destroy the town where Spider Mike is being held in jail. It takes out a power pole in a scene chasing the local sheriff, and later at RD's Funeral! P>S This truck is duel axle so the AMT kit would be all that's needed for the semi part.
