Curtis CadenThank you Pepe, Martin Oostrom and Goldman. My only wish is that directions would show pictures of how the part looks after it is attached. Too many arrows pointing in a direction and not even showing which way the part should be flipped. I am convinced that to build a model correctly one should do two of them. One to learn on and one to have for a nice, finished product. I tell myself that I build it because I like the subject matter, and it is only a representation. I felt bad that I couldn't align the white decal stripes better.

David OrrVery nice work Curtis. Looks like an absolute beast. How did the kit go together? I've got an AMT Kenworth Alaskan Hauler in the stash which I'm hoping to build soon. That will be my first truck model.
22 September, 23:22
Christian WThat truck looks really nice! Flawless pauntjob. This is what I like 🙂
23 September, 09:19
Curtis CadenDavid Orr the truck part went together fine. The wrecker part that sits on the frame was a bit awkward. There were two options for the hooking part that led to some confusion on my part. I liked having the long cable but having it molded in plastic was not ideal and I probably should have substituted a fabric rope cable. I did like the way the mirrors in this kit were molded.
23 September, 11:26
Curtis CadenItaleri doesn't mold their cabs like other companies, and I did have trouble with Opal Blitz Classic cab assembly. On this one the hood lined up just right. Hood alignment has only been a problem on the Ford Louisville Series Delivery Van. If you like the hood you would also like Italeri's Classic Western Star 4964 and Australian Truck.

BozzerI had hood issues with mine. I couldn't figure out what had happened? It was like the hood, or cab, was twisted? Just wondered if you had a work around.
15 October, 11:10
Curtis CadenBozzer I had no work around. I find positioning with tape helps. I usually tape the hood to the cab for painting and use tape to hold parts in position until they dry. I used tape for the hood on this one. I think I was just fortunate. My usual problem is getting a twist in the ladder style frame and all I know to do is be more careful.

DaveVery well done, so used to seeing a lancaster with Merlin engines. Forgot about the few with radio engines. Nice work.
15 October, 00:59
FelixThank you all for your kind comments! @Dave yes it's a somewhat odd look but she looks like a rugged warhorse nonetheless!

The more I fiddled with it the more things went wrong. Over done the weathering a bit, guns and aerial mast braking off,...

Mark SherwoodThank you skyfox22, Pietro and Neuling. I agree about the weathering should of been a bit more restrained. Thanks for all the likes fellow plaggy' bashers.

BozzerThese are awesome kits!
@Martin. The Rex mixer is quite large, however the KW Transit Mixer, is a tad smaller, and easily available on the current market. Get yourself one 😉
8 October, 18:36
GoldmanActually I have just got the KW Transit from Amazon. Always wanted a mixer. Another model into the queue...
8 October, 18:49
BozzerI picked up the Mack DM800 Rex Mixer, in good condition. It was a highlight for me. The 800 is a tricky kit, but I had to have the mixer to complete the collection. I plan to do the tri-axle option, when I get around to it. But I gotta admit, the Paystar makes an awesome kit.
8 October, 22:59
GoldmanThey are beasts. Just wonder why the rear fenders on the DM800 and Paystar mixers are so long - extending so much in front and arear of the tandem.
9 October, 04:26
BozzerIn the kit, they explained how to convert it into the tri-axle. They even tell you what kit to buy, to extend it! Pretty good marketing, at the time, eh? Lol
9 October, 05:19
Curtis CadenThank you Martin Oostrom, Goldman, Neuling, Bozzer. I like construction equipment and have a 1:50 diecast collection. I built the cement mixer because I liked the Ertl/AMT models of the "International" line. I have built the 1972 Scout, the 2011 ProStar, the PayHauler 350 and both the PayStar Cememnt Mixer and Dump Truck.
11 October, 00:49
BozzerCurtis, you need more stuff!
The 360 backhoe.
The D8 dozer.
And of course, some lowloader trailers, to carry them!
(Don't forget to get some awesome semi's, to pull them?)
My name is Bozzer, I'm your bad influence 😉
11 October, 00:53
Martin OostromI can attest to that. Ever since Bozzer showed up in a thread of mine, I've been buying truck stuff 😂
11 October, 06:03
Curtis CadenI have the AMT Caterpillar D8H Bulldozer, Lindberg 1968 Dodge + 1940 Ford + trailer, and AMT John Deere 310 Backhoe Loader. I will get more stuff and get more stuff finished. Thanks for the encouragement.
11 October, 17:36
BozzerThere's a very nice photo etch set, for the D8 dozer. I can't recall the maker at this time, but I've seen it and it's awesome. You can even get metal tracks for it, but I've only ever seen them online, once. We strive to do our best, but the main thing is, we just keep doing what we do.
11 October, 21:37
Bill NewcomerPretty cool. Those fenders look like they would like a tag axle added.
12 October, 00:35
Martin OostromThe dozer parts can be bought here czechtruckmodel.com/..r=search&s=Dozer
12 October, 05:45
BozzerThanks Martin. Those are awesome additions and I plan to get them all. I have a dozer built, box standard. It's the Caterpillar version, but the decals are actually "stickers" So, I plan to adjust that. My next attempt (yes, I already have another kit) will be the full PE version. I seriously need to hunt down those tracks though, because they looked amazing!
12 October, 06:01
Martin OostromThere are no tracks linked to the D8 kits. There are some new additions from a company called Garage Kit SCM Search: Garage kit
No clue as to where to buy them though.
I did find something else: papyhobby.com/collec..&gid=1&pid=1
On the same site, the tracks: papyhobby.com/products/d8-traction-kit-02
No clue if it's legit, but you can leave a rib behind if you want.
Sorry for highjacking Curtis!
12 October, 06:37
Curtis CadenMartin Oostrom I have enjoyed this discussion between you and Bozzer. I may just have to finish my Caterpillar D8H model. I was at Hobby Town today picking up some paint and saw that AMT has "Construction Bulldozer and Lowboy Trailer" $94.99 retail, but their price was $87.99 USD. I should point out to you and Bozzer that I did complete a D9R Doobi IDF armored bulldozer. The model is a Meng and has a ton of detail to it.
15 October, 00:16
BozzerCurtis, watch out in the upcoming weeks, for deals at Ollie's. You can normally pick up a truck or trailer, for $20 a pop. I've had many a bargain from there.

GoldmanGreat model. You cannot get more tough-looking than these old American trucks
8 October, 05:47
Curtis CadenThank you, Martin, Goldman, Neuling and Bozzer. My wife is not big on the distressed look of weathering and sometimes my weathering just muddies it up. So yes, it is factory fresh and my wife suggested the purple color for the cab. Bozzer the hood on this one work as good as the Western Star wrecker's!
15 October, 00:18
BozzerNot being a critic mate, but I noticed that between this and the mixer, you have the orientation of the vent, different ways? I believe that it should be vertical, not horizontal? However, on all my kits, the pins, or holes, were moulded so the vent was horizontal. I still think that it's an excellent kit though. I actually enjoyed doing all my international trucks. I think that I only have two left, to build now?
15 October, 11:20
Curtis CadenThanks, Bozzer, I got it air intake grill flipped. The only other International truck I found on eBay was the Logger and I am not sure I want to build that.
