DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 28, 2020 This one is a combination of the Ertl Transtar II kit, the latest release of the Ertl IH 4300, and the Ertl Paystar logger kit. The 6v-92 Detroit is from GW trucks. The truck tires are from Double Take Replicas. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd really like to see Round 2 work out whatever licensing issues and technical glitches there might be and re-issue all of the Ertl IH kits. We keep getting AMT junk from over 45 years ago, it's about time they get their heads out of their arses and do the good stuff for a change. Thanks Anthony! I would like to see the Transtar II released again too along with the other Ertl kits. I know the tooling was modified from the Transtar to make the Transtar II and from the 4200 to make the 4300, but they managed to release the W900 kit that was said to have been modified. My hope is that there would be enough interest to warrant such an undertaking as making the Transtar and 4200 again. With all that said, I think the Transtar II and the S series trucks would be the easiest to release first, that is if the molds can be found. Thanks again. 36 minutes ago, goingsouth58 said: great job very nice detail and paint just just a great truck Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
discodave Posted May 29, 2020 Looks great all wrapped up! I would also like to see a re-release, have one in my stash already. Sorta like potato chips.... just can’t have one. Nice work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vincen47 Posted May 29, 2020 Great looking truck! I really like the engine, you don’t see many people use 6v92 Detroits in their builds. I agree that it needs to be reissued. It’s got to be one of the most requested truck reissues out there. It’s an incredibly popular model today, I’m seeing a lot of guys building them, especially lately.
