I had some one inquire about the International Harvester milk tanker,,,here's what I have been able to find out about it. It is an ERTL kit from the late 70's    But the kit is of a tractor and not a milk tanker...I still have no clue where the milk tank came from....other than that it is the same truck....a late 70's International Harvester S series 2575

Thanks for asking ...my first post to the web since Sunday.                    Unfortunately bad news...This past Monday we here in Topeka were hit with 70+ M.P.H winds.  I now have a tree on my house and power was just restored with in the past hour to my home.  I plan on getting back to it A.S.A.P as I still have the goal of having ,at least, a curbside build by the 4th of July.  I did manage to get the frame/chassis done paint wise..still have some touch up work on the cab and hood to do.      

Any progress on this build? Just checking in and watching. I have this kit and looking for ideas. 

Very cool.

This is gonna be good, watching. 

Thanks, and yes , I like that motor build. Planning another road truck with sleeper using the long hood and a V12 again. Will do better with the plumbing. 

Thank you

Very nice!

......Some days its the Gold Mine, some days its the shaft.....today it was the Gold Mine.   Went to the Heartland Model Car Nationals in Overland Park, Ks. (Kansas City).....the contest itself is a predictable joke, but the vending area is awesome.  My first stop the past few years is the derelict truck area....great for the scratch builder and the prices, they wont hurt.  Picked up this unit for $30.00.  The milk tank portion will be removed and used on the Mack build.  I have scoured the internet looking for a 1:25 milk transport tank with no luck...this is the first one I seen anywhere.  Forgot to get a better picture...has a complete engine and transmission. Will have to scratch build the milk pumping portion.   Even has the inspection/clean out hatch     Not sure yet what I will end up doing with the I.H   Its too good of a truck to part out. Got the Blue areas painted...another touch up coat should complete it. 

Got everything chassis wise primered.  Had black parts, white parts and an over abundance of chrome parts that all needed to be one color.   Everything pictured will be blue.
