AITM= great resin parts!

[BigBad]

I just received some resin parts from AITM which I ordered Wednesday of last week! I got two Detroit Diesel 12V71 twin turbos, a headache rack, 2 frame mounted 24 scale inch wide tool boxes with mesh grill, 2 36 inch toolboxes for a flatbed trailer, 4 rear 2 hole budd wheels and two gigantic floatation tires with bud 10 hole wheel inserts. (These tires are B-I-G) they really are intended for heavy duty offroad trucks. ALL the parts are great maybe except some work that has to be done to the tires, but nothing that can't easily be fixed though. Dave at AITM will work hard to get your order out fast!

I recommend!

So a lucky GMC Astro and a Revell Kenworth will get a Detroit V12! Waiting for those decals to come in... How about a 1974 W900, White cab with the VIT sleeper cab,

with dark green and gold Seminole paint job, silver headache rack and a dark green frame and roof, Owner/operator style.That is in the plans to start soon.

Next up, Revell Pete 359 with a Detroit 8V92 from KFS.

Dave's parts are really nice. I've used his wheels on more than one project.

That W900 you've got planned sounds great!

[truges]

Yeah - I ordered a B61 Mack from Dave and got it down here to Australia no worries at all. The parts and service are great!

[mackinac359]

I agree! Check out the super Peterbilt 350 ! Never a disappointment with AiTM.

pics of the detroit? theres no mention of it on the website.

[mackinac359]

The 386 would have been my fault - the master wasn't that good.

I just got the parts, so nothing really built yet. I'll get a picture of the separate parts ASAP. The DD 12V71 is on their parts list. It looks pretty good! the block, heads and valve covers are all molded as one though. But it looks nicely detailed. They are twin turbo and I think you can leave them off if so desired.

By the way guys, how do you deal with KFS, kit form services? They don't have Paypal, can't send a check, they have no secured site... How do you guys deal with the credit card thing? Do you really send the credit info on two or three e-mails? I'm not confortable dealing without a secure money exchange system.

I really want to get some of their stuff! Is there a better way to do this?

American Industrial Truck Models, AITM. All kinds of resin parts you'd like to add to a truck kit or convert into another truck model.

Such as truck cabs, hoods, engines, transmissions, fuel tanks, hydraulic oil tanks, wheels, tires, axles... You name it. This place specializes

in Mack truck parts but to many others too. Great service too!

Ive gotten the same auto-response, but Dave replied from the same email. How many times have you tried to contact him? I know they just moved their physical location.

[guitarsam326]

I bet that's why he didn't answer the phone yesterday!?

Maybe so, but I thought the move already happened.

I faxed my payment details to Howard - do not recommend emailing, even in multiple parts. He is excellent to deal with and his parts/kits are top notch. You have nothing to worry about sending your credit card details to him without a secure money exchange system - I've ordered from him a number of times and never had an issue. You can also send him a Bank Transfer if you don't want to send your credit card details.

He also now has on his site "DO NOT FORWARD CREDIT / DEBIT CARD DETAILS BY E-MAIL. Credit card details will now only be accept by telephone, post or fax"

Hmmm - just realized the original email was from 2011, so I'm a bit behind apparently... :-)

Kudos to Dave Natale at American Industrial Truck Models. I ordered my first resin truck model from AI Truck Models and was quite impressed. The quality of resin and parts received was excellent. The turn around time was phenomenal! I talked with Dave on the phone and he was very courteous and helpful. Will not hesitate to do business with him again.
