Kodiak Island Modeler Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Is there any idea of a release date for that Freightshaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The Freightliner is planned for later this year. A new decal sheet with blue stripes. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIL 111V Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Italeri's best US truck kit(would have prefered the "highrise" sleeper version...this one had really nice decals!) nice to see it back. Remember paying a "hefty" $35 back in 1985 or 1986 when it first came out. Also had the Testors boxed 80's version with Blue graphics.

It has the little sleeper incorrectly used in the Pete kits. It's about time Italeri came out with a new North American subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr mopar Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) man if i can get my hands on one of these im gonna modify the heck out of it.i saw somewhere that the price was $92 for this kit.is this true? It could be, but I only paid $65.00 cdn for italeri's New Peterbilt at LHS so hopefully I can get the same deal. I was hopeing for the old decals to be in this kit o'well blue stripe are OK too Edited July 6, 2010 by Mr mopar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckyr Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Norm Weeber of Re picas and Miniatures of Maryland offered some rally nice photo etched items exclusively for this kit. They were the correct 1980s Freightliner badges for the hood and grill and mud flap weights. Auslowe offered some nice slotted muffler guards that were correct for Freightliner. Many be he can reissue them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I checked the Auslowe Web Site, but I didn't see the slotted screen. His site's still a Work In Progress, so it might show up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpreadAxle Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Cool. I like this kit and this truck. I'm glad to see they went with stripes and not mural decals that look like something from World of Warcraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
