I agree, I want one of those Transtars bad.

I would like a list also, I'm local so we might not have to involve the postal service in any transaction.

I've kind of got the semi bug right now so it will most likely be a big truck. I have a few more kits and will be buying a lot more soon. I want to do a Chevy Titan show truck and I'm looking to do a super stock semi pulling truck or two and I want to build some heavy haul trucks using some less often seen makes being reissued. Since alost every kit available is of an old truck you either have to build a retro truck, a junkyard truck, or a restored truck of some kind.

I tried to build the 99 reissue, I got the frame together with all four wheels but it didn't survive a move. Even when built the frame and suspension is incredibly fragile and the excessive flash on the chrome parts prevents a good fit. If I was to try to build this kit again I would strip all the chrome so the pieces could be properly fitted to keep it together.

I built this straight out of of the box, I just needed to get something finished for a change. I've been building off and on for almost twenty years and I'm hoping to be more on again now. The paint is Testors one coat laquer White Lightening and Maroon Metallic. I'm thinking about building a headache rack to hide the peg holes in the sleeper but if I don't it still looks good on the shelf. Since the truck represented by the kit is about thirty years old I built it as a restored owner/operator truck and a maybe a mild show truck.
