daniel gailloux Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Hello All Some changes in my live not bad just different, not modelling as much still building trucks. A slowdown in modelling, with the economy not helping $$ are less there. Anyway got this project started in 2012. A International Fleetstar. A casting from AITM Dave Natale. A fun build. Used the parts box as source. Did not want to used new kit as a challenge. Getting ready to paint the cab decided to take pictures this morning before it canges color and still being in the rough. Rims are new offering from Plaskit resin truck parts. 5 hole, hub are molded separately. Color will be be cab + dump body Modelmaster Boyds Red a dark red. Chassis will be gloss black. I will post updates when the project evolves to show all the progress. Enjoy the photos. Best regards Daniel Gailloux
Chuck Most Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Good start! Never saw too many Fleetstars used as plow trucks in my area (lots of Loadstars though), so this should be really interesting.
cam Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Looks good Daniel, is the pintle hook available thru plaskit ?
Fabrux Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 This looks really cool! There's a water delivery company around these parts that still uses a Fleetstar.
cdnmodman Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Hey Daniel, This looks like it's going to be a nice one !! You had mentioned a while back your were going to try an old Coke truck with the Modelhaus Chevy 2 ton did that one ever get started or did she get put on hold for a while ?? Looking forward to the progress on the International !! Rick
