maxwell48098 Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Built in 1983, I modified an Ertl CO-4070 cab & engine, scratch built frame, Ertl Paystar 5000 wheels & axles, and AMT Autocar bumper. The AMT ALF Customer pumper supplied the pump, pumper body and accessories. Color is safety orange.
Danno Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Very nicely done! That's a good-looking model!!
Chariots of Fire Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Looks good, Dave. It's great seeing some of the older builds come back for us to see.
mackinac359 Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Built in '83 and still looks like a great build! I like the cab modifications. Tim
maxwell48098 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 Built in '83 and still looks like a great build! I like the cab modifications. Tim I still have many of my old builds. I have donated some of the fire apparatus models to various departments over the years, but I still have lots of these older builds today. I was quite surprised that they have survived a couple of house moves and are still together. Thanks, A.J.
Southgate Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 What a super build, and from the '80s! Cargostars are such cool mid sized rigs. I'd like to see a tutorial on converting a Transtar into one. Dan
