1/25 AMT/ERTL International Transtar 4300 Eagle


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I finally finished another semi-truck and this time, it was very enjoyable. I started roughly three weeks ago and I put about 45-50 hours building it.

I find these semi-truck kits delightful, they have distinctive features which you can build around to give characters!  It was super fun and the feeling of accomplishment of getting it done is addictive!

Beautiful build! Very clean! Excellent work!

Thank Brian!  Someone commented your Tri-axle dump truck the other day and I get to enjoy seeing it just now.  It was super fantastic what you did!  I really like your realism on wear/tear weathering on dump.  I would think some silver base coat/brown coat was carefully rubbed off to simulate the actual wear damage?  It was one of the best I have seen.  Nice job. ;)

The quality of the build is fantastic!  Your attention to details and outstanding craftsmanship, give the build a super realistic look.

I am flattered!  I am following you Kenworth build also.   The way it is progressing, I have a feeling it will turn out to be super!
