Blue Mule74 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 The blue mule can be built using a resin cab and an Ertl International Transtar II kit as a donor kit I built it, But, Didn't put any of the mule signs on it because this one was hand painted and also has pin stripes like the one's used on real cars on it https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ertl-8017-transtar-ii-eagle--686345
Oldcarfan27 Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Can't believe no one has brought up the Mack from "Convoy". Plus other trucks from the movie. How 'bout Pigpen? BTW, Smokey and the Bandit 1 was a Kenworth, not a Pete.

How 'bout Pigpen? BTW, Smokey and the Bandit 1 was a Kenworth, not a Pete. Both the Rubber Duck and Pig Pen Mack's were mentioned in text earlier in this thread. The Rubber Duck truck was a Western RS700L and there is no kit made of one of those, but AITM has one in resin, the Pig Pen can be done from the AMT Cruiseliner. and Modeltruckin' has decals for both. Yes it was a Kenworth W900 in the first movie, a GMC General in the second and a Peterbilt 359 in the third. The KW W900 in your picture is a clone and not really correct for the movie truck. Here is the real truck. And a much better, more correct clone. Edited January 16, 2020 by Force
highway Posted January 16, 2020 Posted January 16, 2020 Since this thread has been dragged back from the depths of dead threads, here's one that I wasn't even aware of until a few months ago...the flattop BJ and the Bear KW from the pilot episode!
Oldmopars Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I know this is mostly about older trucks from movies and TV shows, but I am currently building a replica of Sarge's truck from Marvels Agents of Shield season 6. It is a 379, using a 378 Italeri kit. Had to use the older release to get the older flat top sleeper. It is my B.R.B.O. for this year, see it in the workbench section
Force Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Well most of the truck model kits we have available to us are old.
cargostar Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I have a sleeper master just about done for the Snowman’s General from Smoky and the Bandit 2
JerseeJerry55 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 The rerelease of the LNT8000 Snow Plow would allow you to build the one Carrol Jo destroyed with the shotgun in White Line Fever.

leafsprings Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Used on an episode of Movin On, C Clayton's ( nutty, but likeable character) extra long wheelbase White Freightliner. Edited June 22, 2020 by leafsprings
