Unique project! nice work so far, look forward to more pics

Mike t i havent built it yet... I will be using freightliner conventional as a base for the cabover like windsheild and the angle of windsheild of course i will have to stretch windsheild a bit i will be using headlights and grill from conventional kit also frame and engine will be used also doors from cab n bunk will b used bunk roof will b used as a guide for c/0 roof mayb use the visir from kit but also stretch that item or make a custom visor should be fun i will post pics as i go along and explain.about one week till i finish up lonestar kit so check back often .....thanks farway model truck fleet

No im doing a 1984 - 88 style

10 4 i have the 1/25 scale version but that aint big enough for my lil fleet would be the only 1/24 kscale 85-88' freightliner c/o done possibly.i do enjoy a challenge this build maybe way over my head but most likely ill dig in n giver. i will be using the italeri grill cut down i will be using the square headlights. i do have a1:1 freightshaken c/0 basically in mybackyard for measurements the model will have a cummins big cam3 ..just have to finish up my lonestar so about a week ill b startin this project stay tuned n ill keep yall up to date.

After watching roys amazing tranaformation build of his kw cabover i thought why not take italeri freightliner conventional and maker a 1/24 scale cabover will be hard but i enjoy a challenge any commnts or thoughts on this would be greatly apprciated the cabover i wannva build is the "shack" single bunk...

That kit has the small sleep right?36"if so i have one in my parts box

Great job on truck n trailer likin that set up cant wait to see ur flat top i may try a 36" flat top with my next lonestar ...keep up the super work chad keep pics coming

I to assemble whole frame with axels in place then paint everything

Hmmmm just had a thought i may take the italeri freightliner classic kit and make it a 1/24 scale cabover just have to take a lot of measurements...

Building a lonestar now what a amazing detailed kit instructions are a lil hard to follow the right side of engine was a bit tricky will post pics on ny thread asap will be priming cab later on tonight over all parts r fitting very well up to this point knock on wood

How big of a flat top bunk do u want? either way u could cut down the lonestar bunk wud b a lot of work but worth itand unique even a 36" bunk would look sweet have fun with it

Thanks guys n more pics comin as soon as i get back to computer

excellent work!! love em ole cabovers keep the pics comin

cool! i like it very nice job!!!

thanks for th e info iam building a lonestar myself

gordon that would be awesome to see all finished will u post pics.

my advice would be to go out n get a snap pete or kenworth w900 u can do many mods with those snap kits and they are cheap,...u can stretch the frame drop the visors full fenders,add straight pipes , modify the front fenders,custom paint etc ect the list goes on ps those snap kits come with a pretty detailed cat 3406b block engine good luck n enjoy !!!!! ----farway model truck fleet

hi guys, currently im truckin for laidlaw, truck i drive is a international 9200.... i was wondering if any one makes a resin cab n hood??...1/25 or 1/24 alltho the truck i drive has an integral sleeper (cab n bunk molded as one)60''bunk 226wheelbase any help would be appeciated !!! also if any one needs real 1;1 pic of a 430 detroit series 60 for detail references id be glad to post some pics one more thing i pull a cobra 45'ft quad axel end dump anyone want pics of that? for detail purposes?anyone ever built one???seems easy to build but would wud be hard to duplicate the curved front sides.

what i like to use is thin mechanics wire not sure of proper guage but it bends easily and works get for air line or even hydraulic hose ends.anything really including fuel lines for example i used the mechanics wire to plumb a cat engine from the fuel injector pump to the injector heads
