IH Loadstar Diecast & Pressed Steel Combo

[AzTom]

Thanks. I think they look more like mufflers in the photos than they do in person. I'm going with them but I'm going to sand the end ridge a little to make it thinner.

It's just great to be working on something.

Looking great, I can't wait to see it done. I like your idea of the Oliver colors. Mirrors are great, and the fifth wheel deal is genius!

[flat-top]

Tom, any progress on this project?

[Harry P.]

A lot of the posted photos are missing.

[AzTom]

I got both mirrors done.

I have been too busy getting my outside shop set up and finishing the inside shop. Still need to get the paint booth vented outside.

Sorry about the photos, Fokti is moving everyones photos to a new server and says it will take a few months.

[AzTom]

Well, I'm back on this one. After moving I couldn't find my tote of parts that had the wheels, tires and other parts for it. I have found them and ready to go again.

I think I decided on going with a medium blue metallic.

[AzTom]

I'm glad to report that I may actually get this one done,lol

I worked on the interior, added a steering wheel and paint detail. The white one on the left is what came in the truck.

Got the bottom painted and the axles made.

Thanks for looking, comments or questions are welcome

I got the trailer in base coat, Nassau Blue Metallic by Model Masters.

Then clear coated.

I put wood planks inside the ramp rear door.

I also have the cab painted but I didn't like the way way it turned out. My Model Masters paint nozzle spit some large drops of paint a few times.?? Going to water sand it and try again.

I finished the trailer up and used one of my other trucks to tow it.

Thanks for looking.

Looken good Tom.

[AzTom]

Thank you Jonathan,

It's going to work just fine to haul my Willys Gasser or my Case Demo tractor.

[GrumpyGrowly]

Not to sound like McDonalds but…I'm loven it. I like the IH tractor, got to get some for my self.

[AzTom]

Thanks Jonathan. I have a bunch of tractors.

The tractor is a Case 400 made by Yoder in plastic. It's done as a Black Knight but Case did not make a real 400 as a Black Knight demonstrator. That didn't happen until around 1971.

[Harry P.]

Wow, this one has been in the works for quite some time! Nice to see the progress...

[AzTom]

Thanks Harry. I hope to get the cab repainted tomorrow.

[AzTom]

It's getting closer.

[AzTom]

Well, I'm calling this one done.

It's resting place for now.

Thanks for following along.
