chuckyr Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Just trying to grease the wheels! ...and after Moebius Models releases their highly successful International LoneStar tractor, they begin work on the their International ProStar tractor and Great Dane Stainless Steel reefer trailer model kits. I'm just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Chucky, I would love to see that beautiful Great Dane trailer in kit form!! I know I would have a fleet of those on the shelf if Moebius would kit something like that! I like the spread axle in your pic, but maybe Moebius could have an option of the spread axle for owner operator style trucks or a regular air ride tandem for fleet style rigs. As for the Cornbinder, it would make a nice fleet truck and should be able to use most of the Lonestar kit's parts, and would also be nice with the reefer behind it with the regular tandem option I mentioned. I can see a vision of a two tone blue Wenie wagon with the reefer from their TCU fleet in my head! Of course, while I was cruising through Hank's Truck Pictures looking for that picture, I found these on one of their forum threads as well. This one the poster said was taken (and it is) going into the TA just a couple miles from my house. I also found this one for inspiration for the Lonestar kit, and I'm sure this is either an owner operator or special deal for a million mile driver. I used to run a two tone blue Wenie Wagon, and that was usually the case for trucks like this! EDIT: I just noticed after posting the pic of the Lonestar the huge lack of chrome goodies and side mounted stacks, so I zoomed in on the truck number and guess what! IT IS A COMPANY TRUCK!!! Werner has a very specific numbering system and compared to the Prostar dry van, the number reflects a company truck number. If it was an owner operator, it would have a number starting with a 7 or 8. Edited September 3, 2010 by highway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfnut Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 they musta made a lot of reefers painted that way because i pulled one identical to the stainless/green one for 2 years, id like to build that one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSilva Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I agree on the daycab! Not a fan of Aero trucks at all, other than the Ford Aeromax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k.blackwell Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) the prostar and lonestar are the same truck from firewall back. so all you would need is a hood,bumper and fairing mold.

cargostar Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 With all of the talk of daycabs and such for the Lonestar. I thought I'd post some pics of a project I had going until Moebius announced theirs. I was starting with a day cab. I have stopped work on it untill I recieve my Lonestars, and then I'll finish the cab and interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cargostar Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Thanks. I spent 2 hours at my local dealership measuring the rear of a cab one day, and thats the third wall I built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cargostar Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I figured on a Prostar. But I wanted to make sure that the hood would fit to the Moebius cab, so, I'm waiting on a Lonestar to start the Prostar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
