Italeri Australian Western Star

[cossett]

Hi all,

On the subject of Western Stars, I built this Aussie Western Star Tipper straight from the box with a scratch built tipper body and sub frame.

This was a good kit to build with so many variable's to make it.

Cheers Cossett

Nice work.

The man with the broom looks as if he's saying "there, all cleaned up - the next guy who makes a mess will deal with the business end of the shovel."

I like it, and I agree with Tim about the guy with the broom.

What did you use to make the tipper box?

Cossett I have to agree with you on the variable that can be ues to build this Star by Iateri, and while on the subect of great rig this model of yours certainly is just that one great & very nicely built model well done my friend.

Hi Jim B,

I used a Italeri No 3831 American Cargo Trailer used half the kit and then cut it to fit the Western Star

As for the other half that is a "A-trailer" body

Nice work you have done.

I like the Australian look of this kit, but it looks much better in a traditional USA setup.

Nice job on this truck.

Really a nice build. I like the trim and good job adapting the bed. It looks ever bit as good as an Aussie as it would in a U.S. build. I'm guessing that a tipper in Australia would be a dump truck in the U.S.
