TruckerAL Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Finally finished this one up tonight. Been waiting for parts to get it done, and now it's good to go. It's the second to last build before I move this week! Mod list: Italeri Cummins engine swap, 3d printed rims, 5th wheel assembly, and frane step, custom printed decals all around, rubber mudflaps, stove top exhaust tip, and other small odds and ends. Enjoy! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Really greet looking Transtar. Very well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Excellent. You captured it well. I love the paint scheme, looks great with the proper IH red on the Cummins. The 1/24 Italeri tires with the 3d printed rims give a nice impression of the tall 24.5” rubber in 1/25.

tractoraholic Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Nice Transtar, the truck looks spot on to the 1:1. Great Job!. I have to get one of these for my collection to build someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The Transtar ll is not an easy kit to come by, a surcharge is in order for this build! Looks spot on, nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTrucker Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Great replica build! Love those years of the Internationals. I ran a 4070 as an owner operator in the late 70's and the very last truck I drove was a farm based 1979 Transtar II in pea green with dark green striping! Last time I saw the poor old girl she was sitting in the weeds behind the repair shop. Offered to buy it but the kids grandpa bought it new and he and his dad wanted to keep it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
