cam Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 thanks guys, Dave I started to detail the sleeper but the doors were a nightmare so I glued them shut,LandonI don't know where the tires are from, they were in some parts I got a long time ago. They are a little taller than the kits and the are a very soft rubber
69A-CAR Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 That is a beautiful IH, well done!! Who did the decals for you?? Mark

They are a little taller than the kits and the are a very soft rubber Chris, this is one real nice truck. I like just about everything on it, the Cat 3408, the front fender flaps, the paint colors for the body and frame, the square horns, the bigger battery box, the expert application of the decals, all nice detailing! By the way, I think the tires you have on there are from either one of the Revell Peterbilts 359 or "353" or Kenworth K100 Aerodyne from the original "trucks of the world" kit series.

Old Albion Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Chris, Its good to see this one finished. Ertl's 4300 is a great kit certainly one of my favourites. The 3408 fits like a glove and looks right. Nice work! Dave
cowboysevens Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 wow what a good looking truck!! you have done an outstanding job on this one , it is definately top notch show ready.
69A-CAR Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 WOW! That sure looks great outside, very nice build! Mark
Trucker_tim Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 What color did you paint the engine I had thought they were the metallic blue
cam Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 What color did you paint the engine I had thought they were the metallic blue Only the international engines were blue, the cat should be red but I couldn't bring myself to paint the engine red, so its cat yellow.
mackinac359 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Nice! Natural light sure makes things look better. Tim
Ben Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Man, that turned out nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How much did you stretch the frame rails? Really looks cool!!!!!!!
Ben Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 thanks guys, Dave I started to detail the sleeper but the doors were a nightmare so I glued them shut,LandonI don't know where the tires are from, they were in some parts I got a long time ago. They are a little taller than the kits and the are a very soft rubber It's hard to tell from the pics but the rear tires are Revell and the front tires, if they are solid, soft rubber and say "Unisteel II" on the sidewall, they are from a Revell diecast Peterbilt.
butchey Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 I'd say didnt streach it at all.But Did GREAT Job!
