daniel gailloux Posted August 12, 2012 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted August 12, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
