Internationa Payhauler 350

[bitner]

This is the latest, a little break from logging trucks. I've had this kit for a few years and dragged it out a while back to build. It was fun to say the least and HUGE when finished. I added hydraulic lines to it, but with no real reference it was a best guess. ERTL actually put nubs on various fittings for rubber tubing but no reference to it in the instructions. The only problem I had was some fit issues with all the reinforcing ribs on the bed. I painted it first flat white(two spray cans) as a primer, and then three full cans of Tamiya camel yellow. I added various decals from other AMT kits to give it a little personality. Now I have something to haul around on my 7 axle lowboy.

cheers:

Very nice, Bill.

I know what you me about not find much reference, all I have found so far researching mine is this:

It does have some interesting stats, though, like shipping weight and dimensions.

Here's a couple on the lowboy. That is a great Data sheet for the truck. I was wondering about what it's specs were.

That looks like a great setup, Bill. Is the trailer itself the AMT lowboy? I was wondering how the Payhauler would fit on one.

That looks great but I cant tell if you have it but you should think about getting some oversized load stickers for the lowboy too.

It sounds like we have a DOT cop in training! I'm just kidding with you Justin.

I just looked again, and I see the Oversized Load on the top of the cab and looks like on the stand on the end of the trailer too.

I don't build trucks, still stuck on cars, but you have done a great job on this one.

Love that Low-Boy also.

From what I can see of your work area I am sure some pictures of it would be interesting.

Where does that train go?

Looks great, you need a new shelf just for that rig.

Very nice! What? You couldn't make a log truck out of that?

Very Cool.

By the looks of it ... it might have 10 hours of operation on the meter.
