Dave Metzner Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) Here's a shot of the hood hinge in place on one of the test shots.. double click on this pic to see it full size Radiator was not in place here I was still trying to figure out assembly sequence when this photo was taken - radiator should be in place when you fit the hood Hope this helps, Dave Edited August 21, 2011 by Dave Metzner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Tamiya Metalic Blue is a good match for the blue that International/Navistar uses on their MaxxForce engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have not bought the lonestar kit as yet and was wondering does it have details of the colours in the instructions? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Working on a couple projects - Hope that we can make announcements in October... Uh-oh! If Dave says something like this in this section of the forum It's bound to be interesting! A Prostar maybe? An up to date 53 foot reefer? Let it start, the anticipation will go through the roof! Who will have the best guess? It's only good fun anyway... Edited August 25, 2011 by Z06Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE C.. Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 i hope its the prostar, but who knows. it could be a diff truck.but I do wish for a 53ft reefer that looks like the real trailer,not that italeri ######.but i do have a few of them,lol.

Mr. Can Am Garage Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Id go for a workstar, I very much do not like the hideous prostar. I agree. There are SO many possabilities for a WorkStar in scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Id go for a workstar, I very much do not like the hideous prostar. Justin, you have the right to your opinion, but "hideous"?? I've seen worse than the Prostar from more "prestigious" companies, AND some classics aren't much to look at either... But I have to agree that a Workstar would open up some interesting opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaindewd Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I agree. There are SO many possabilities for a WorkStar in scale. Ditto! Prostar as well. Anxiously waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsoder Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Working on a couple projects - Hope that we can make announcements in October... Well I'm really lookin' forward to getting my hands on the Prostar kit, I really hope sales of this kit will be very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBad Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 There is going to be a LOT of speculation about this!!! Nobody said exactly what it could be just yet. There is only hope that there will be an anouncement, don't forget. I'm just hoping we get the announcement. But it's kinda exciting though!
