Doug 1061 Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 These are getting popular on this board I see. So here is my rendition of this wonderful kit. Paint is PPG Delstar, Alcoas on drive axles from Moebius tire/wheel set, added CB and am/fm antennas and convex mirrors. Otherwise built out of box. Very nice kit overall, kinda nice to just assemble an AMT truck kit rather than having to "build" it. Enough babbling about it, hope you like it. As always comments/critiques welcome. Thanks for lookin' 2
happy grumpy Posted April 4, 2022 Posted April 4, 2022 Great looking IH. I agree this is a really nice kit . If I had the space I would built several.I built 2, one ERTL transtar II and the new from AMT which I will post eventually. Beautiful color and photo set up.
Oldmopars Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 Beautiful clean build. I love the color. I have 2 of these, one is the Rat Fink. I think I need about 5 more of them. Really nice build and great job on the pictures, it shows it off well.
Dutzie Posted April 13, 2022 Posted April 13, 2022 The color is really sharp. What color is that? Great build.

leafsprings Posted April 16, 2022 Posted April 16, 2022 Great looking build! The classic lines on this IH really make your beautiful paint job stand out. IH styling was so much smoother than typical cabovers of the time, Dodge and Ford in particular.

But then ya only got so much to work with?
Doug 1061 Posted April 16, 2022 Author Posted April 16, 2022 Thanks everyone for all the positive comments. This kit is a joy to build. I have three more of them in the pile. I think something like this would be cool.
JerseeJerry55 Posted June 8, 2022 Posted June 8, 2022 Very nice I’ve got one on the way. If mine comes anywhere close to that I’ll be thrilled.
