discodave Posted May 9, 2020 Nice.... I like it when builders take these rare kits and build them. I can hear those kit collectors cry a little! 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like it when builders take these rare kits and build them. I can hear those kit collectors cry a little! 🤣 Thanks Dave! The Transtar was only the cab and cab related parts. Evidently someone had used the chassis out of the kit before I got it. The chassis that I'm using here is the latest 4300 kit. The Paystar logging kit is rare, but the box is pretty rough on this one, and when I started this project, I realized the someone had surgically removed the pintle hitch from the kit by cutting a very small hole in the parts bag. With that being said, the collectors might not get too upset with me over this one. I do like building these old kits though. I figure that is what they were made for. 😀 I got a little paint on the chassis today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

discodave Posted May 21, 2020 Now that you mention the donor, I do recognize the frame rail. Yes, the kits were made for building. Keep having fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Dutz Posted May 21, 2020 Looks great so far. I have a couple of the logging trailers that I would like to build. But then there’s that Kenworth that I’m dying to build, and the Peterbilt, and I can’t forget the Lonestar and.......Lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
