MICHAEL COLE Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 what is the IH engine in the kit, need imfo so I can detail it. thanks.
Jim B Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 The engine that's in the International 4300 is the International V800. I've heard that Testors Model Masters Auto Laquer Metalic 1969 Ford Acapulco Blue is pretty close. Here, this article might help: Detailing the International V800. Well, it couldn't hurt, anyway.
MICHAEL COLE Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 thanks jim, the box art shows a RED ENGINE,lol. so blue it is.
Jim B Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Yes, the V800 was blue. All other engines the International put into their trucks at their time were International 2150 Red (apparently Testors Red 1203 is a good match), but they wanted this one to "stand out". I'm not sure when International switched to OEM colors for the other engines that were offered in their trucks.
MICHAEL COLE Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 thanks guys,I rember building this ERTL kit back in the late 70s. boy time flys.
