Pete68 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I was cleaning some of my old model trucks today and thought I would post this old International 4200 Transtar I built back in 1989 It has a few missing parts but has held up good for its age. The paint was a new Testors color they just came out with along with some blues, golds and reds I don't think model master was marketed yet that was 28yrs ago. I do remembering taking my time on this one because it cost me so much money. I bought it at the St. Louis model show back when there was no EBay or things of that kind if you were like me you waited every year for the Model show swap meet and hope you find something good. Hope you enjoy the pics Edited October 22, 2017 by Pete68 Wrong year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseeJerry55 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Pete, Wow that's an awesome job and has held up nicely given that amount of time. I am in the process of building a 4300 and may use your example as a reference point if you don't mind. Thanks again for showing this build.
