Pacific nose coversion

[falcongeorge]

You know, when I look at these, the nose looks quite similar to the 4300. The nose tapers more and is a bit narrower at the front,the fenders are wider, and they use a paystar grill. I think I might try converting my 4300. If Cargo Star can come up with some dimensional info for the nose, I will take a run at it.

the one fairly glaring issue here is the "international" lettering. It should be sunken, but on the ERTL 4300 grill and the paystar grill, its raised. Its sunken in the S-series ERTL grill, but its considerably larger & wont work. I think its something I will probably just have to live with. Its also incorrect for the 4300 & the regular paystar kit, and everyone seems to be unaware of it, so I guess its not that big a deal, but its the kind of thing that bugs me.

Looks like it need to be tapered in approx. 3/8" per side! YIKES!
