Lonestar

Anyone build this one? I think I have MADHD or something.....Anyways, I have Custom Desires for this one ?

[Gary Chastain]

I have the very same kit but I have been reluctant to open and build. Seen some gorgeous builds with this kit. Interested in the responses

I built the Moebius LoneStar back in 2011 (Good Lord! Was it really that long ago?  Wow!), and I do not remember any major assembly issues.  Although getting the interior into the cab, the getting that back wall on was a little tricky.

This build was completely box stock (except for the door decals), although Czech Truck Model (CTM) does offer some P/E parts for the interior, frame, etc. to make the model more accurate.

Yeah, it's still 1990 in my mind ?

Built box stock, decals and all, goes together like a dream! You'll be very proud of it!

Some tips here http://tedtaylor.hobbyvista.com/155-lonestar/155-international-lonestar.html and another photo, all I needed was in the kits

Oh! One big tip: if you can get the Revell of Germany instructions, use them as the Moebius directions leave a little to be desired.

You could always change it up a little, more custom like this..

I have the bumper,, fenders and headlight conversion that was cast by the late Gary Wallace.

Those are cool. I'm thinking of lowering and stretching the frame a bit to go along with my 359

Since we're on the subject, where are some good places to get aftermarket detail parts for these trucks?

Spot Model has a photoetch package for the Lonestar - site says only 1 package left

https://www.spotmodel.com/product_info.php?products_id=49413&language=en

maybe check out CTM's website as well - site says there are some available as well as some photoetch chassis cross members

I built 1 years back, Made new hinges for the hood, cut the doors open & hinged them,  also aluminium exhausts & made a few extra decals. A nice model to add extra detail too.

Here’s mine that I built when they first released them.
