1/87 White Freightliner...

[Brizio]

A member of the model club I belong, gave to me this truck. He said that was a kit that he bought when he was working at Freightliner. Which truck is and where I can find info about it? He told me the model, but I forgot...

That is a "first issue" era Athearn Freightliner. They could be bought as a kit or already assembled. You could buy them in many different liveries as a tractor with a trailer or two identical tractors in one box. The cabs were the same but one had a single axle chassis and the other was a dual drive like the one you have.

Athearn recently upgraded these Freightliners to where they now have full interiors, chrome parts, better wheels, factory paint schemes and I think rubber tires. I believe the model designation of the real truck would be a late 60's, early 70's FLA.
