Ben Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 I think I forgot to post this here. I recently finished this built. Kit is straight out of the box other that the real polished aluminum fuel tanks, polished aluminum stack upper pipes and a Detail Master gauge set on the dash. The main chassis (other than the wheels, fuel tanks and stacks) and the engine were built back in the mid eighties. At that time, I did not know that IH painted their engines red. I had custom mixed the Alpine green, thinking that was the color it was supposed to be.
Tommy Isbister Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Super detailed! This is definitely one of the nicest cab over builds out there. All you need now is a matching trailer to put it over the top.
gatorincebu Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Ben, You nailed it with this one. It is spot on. Your interior looks great as well. Mighty fine looking build ! Be Well Gator
Luc Janssens Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Always like this model and your beautiful build really does it justice.Thanks for showing
Bennyg Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Very nice! Would love round 2 to get this back out there.Ben
signguy2108 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Good looking truck, Ben. There is still a couple of these around here on farms pulling old flat bottom grain trailers. Get the idea?
Jim B Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 That's a really nice looking 4070A, Ben. Very well done. I have the 4070B Transtar II in the stash that I might attempt some day!
disabled modeler Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Stunning work Ben...this has to be one of my favorite truck kits.
NY Modeler Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 WOW - outstanding job Ben! I've got a Transtar II in the stash that I'm looking forward to building one day. I'll definitely refer to your build when I do.Where'd you source the fuel tanks?-Ken

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Top notch work!! I really like this build! I built one like the box art years ago, but it wasn't anywhere as nice as this one. It Looks Great!!
Mopar - D Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Excellent build Ben! Very clean and sharpe looking.
leafsprings Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Outstanding build, very inspirational. Painting the Dayton wheels was a great choice.
