PierreR89 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Finally got some time after my move to finally start building again. Only thing that i did not like with this kit was the gigant spruemount points on the backside of many parts. Other then that it was a fun build. The yellow reflecting in the chromeparts is just my jacket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Nice looking Transtar. Sure is a bright jacket you're wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Great looking rig, always loved this kit, after several AMT kits this one showed me how good kits could be. Love the chassis length on this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is bright but it is a high vis jacket that i am wearing when i am outside and at work so i can be seen when i am moving around when it is dark outside. 16 hours ago, PappyD340 said: Very nice!

This was one of the better one from AMT that i have built, but being all new it should be better then reissues from the 70's where there are more guesswork then looking at the instructions. I was not sure about the purple metallic i choose for it but i think it looks good in it There are a few thing i still need to fix on it but for now i am calling it done.

Mopar - D Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Great looking Transtar in purple. It really stands out with the snow in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I built it some time ago this was an ERTL kit, something I'd never heard of in GB. I then got the Transtar conventional and about three of the Great Dane reefers with the chrome bulkhead. They were beautiful kits too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug 1061 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 That turned out nice. There's just something about a big purple truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
