Petetrucker07 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Would have been downright stupid to pass on it for that price. Even if a ProStar's not what you want, you'd have some really nice trade fodder for somebody. That's what figured. I thought of building it curb side and converting the engine to resemble a cummins.

kilrathy10 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Very nice score, Man....Very nice for $25....
Chuck Most Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Two Raiders, one with a forward-set axle, and one with a set back front axle. The setback one looks like it might be an old Gortsema casting.
Chuck Most Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Well, I can finally scratch this one off the list...
Superpeterbilt Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Well, I can finally scratch this one off the list... Awesome Chuck. This is definitely my favorite AMT kit. The only major flaw is the location of the rear trunion.
Chuck Most Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I'll order this one no trunion, then. (Ba-dum-tsssssssssss)

Superpeterbilt Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Walking on sunshine... Great score Chuck. Hopefully that didn't hit the old wallet too hard. I know these have gotten outrageous. What are you planning to use as a donor?
Chuck Most Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Great score Chuck. Hopefully that didn't hit the old wallet too hard. I know these have gotten outrageous. What are you planning to use as a donor? Oh, it hit the wallet plenty hard enough. But if you want it badly enough you pay, right? I think I might do my own frame with some C-section strip and spare Louisville crossmembers. Might be a while before I get around to this one, so I've got plenty of time to map things out.

I think I might do my own frame with some C-section strip and spare Louisville crossmembers. Might be a while before I get around to this one, so I've got plenty of time to map things out. Cool. Luckily I found my overpriced resin Ford when the Italeri Ford wreckers were just released at a reasonable price. So mine will be on a LTL 9000 chassis, eventually. It's confusing that the box label recommends a FLD120 chassis, which as you know is s.f.b.a.
Chuck Most Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I have an incomplete Aeromax 120... but again, I'm going to make my own Ford chassis for it. I'll save the chassis for something a lot more Freightliner-y. I believe the KFS instructions show how to modify the 'Shaker chassis to work with the CL cab, though.
kilrathy10 Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Just came in, today.....After coupon code, cost only $66.94....
Superpeterbilt Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 Just came in, today.....After coupon code, cost only $66.94.... Thats a great grab JT. I love the wrecker body in this kit.
disabled modeler Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Scratch another one off the list... Nice find Chuck...those Ertl truck kits were some of my favorites shame more of them never got re-issued for us all.
Superpeterbilt Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 Someone tell Indiana Jones that I found the holy grail,twice! Yes, I finally paid ebay prices for two of these chrome tankers. I also got a decent deal on the FLD to replace two that I sold because I thought I would never build them.
Petetrucker07 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Dude.. 2!!! But as you said, Ebay prices. But still. I really hope Revell reissues it in the near future.
kilrathy10 Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 That IS a good score, Terry.....I'm with Clayton on the reissue of the tankers......I'd love to see them come out without chrome plating, though.....And while Italeri is at the reissue thing, I hope they come back out with that Freightliner, too....

I wouldnt mind seeing this reissued. Im not really a fan of the AMT tanker. I have a few of the IMC tankers, a few Italeri tankers, and now these two.
tbill Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 great scores guys! i'd love to have a couple of those tankers.........some day..........
Superpeterbilt Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 Dang Chuck, thats two heavy weights. Congrats on the Autocar.
Chuck Most Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 That's both the AMT Autocars, right... the tractor and the dump? If so, I can say I have a "complete set of AMT Autocar kits".
