Another International 4070A

[iamsuperdan]

Well, now that Issue 212 is in subscribers' hands, I can post some more pics of this one.

AMT's International CO-4070A.

Built it box stock, as a fairly basic fleet spec. Yeah, went with chrome parts, but still wanted that base fleet vibe.

 

Was super surprised at how this kit went together. It did not feel like I was building an AMT kit at all. Parts were crisply molded, every part was numbered, the instructions were clear and precise. I hpe all future AMT kits are like this.

The only issue I had was of my own doing. I managed to lose the shifter. Ah well.

Need to build a matching trailer for it now.

I was afraid that was what you were going to come back with lol.

Your Transtar looks great. Very well done. What are you thinking for a trailer?

Dan I received my MCM #212 today and guess what I’m reading about on page 54.

The AMT Fruehauf 40ft trailer. I have a couple of the Coke ones. Will just need to make a couple of Elsinore Beer decals for the sides.

You weren't building an AMT kit, you were building an ERTL kit. I built one of the originals 50 years ago and still remember how well it went together.

Extremely nice build!

Very clean and beautiful build . This is truly a modern kit and it is a pleasure to build. Like you, I am waiting for warmer skies to take outside pictures. That white paint will really pop in the outside sun.

Very nice build - I imagine myself a white "Bekins Van Lines" tractor.

[Bennyg]

Very nice work!

I wish they altered the way they made the fuel tanks and chrome pipe work. Separate fuel tank ends to get rid of the seam would have been good. Apart from that, probably the best model truck kit currently on the market.

Nice article in MCM, and a great build. Looking forward to more of your content in the magazine in the future.
