This here's Rubber Ducky and we are looking for a convoy.
Our group build this time is diesel tractor trucks.
The start time is still undecided for the moment. So, there is plenty of time to join the build.
The attached is the truck I bought for the GB.

Just had a look through the kit, loads of flash and loads of misaligned mould marks. Think I'm going to need more blades and sanding sticks. Pantherman

Well being a 4 generation trucker and been driving legally for 34 years now I've been around Semis of all kinds of my Dads all my life and owned my own 1979 International 4070B Transtar with the Eagle package and several antique show trucks so I just can't resist to join if you guys will have me. If I'm approved I'll try to find something before the start date. I have well over 75 1/25 scale truck kits to choose from. Thanks

Here's my 1979 International Transtar Eagle

Well, of course you may join. As we always say; the more the merrier.
Looking forward to having you.

Those are some very nice and clean trucks!

I drove OTR for two years (2011-2012). I drove an International ProStar. I tallied 247,000 miles in those two years. It ruined my relationship and I moved back to California and drove bottom dumps for a couple more years. I now have a desk job (but still have my Class A license).
I love your International Cab-Over.

Thanks. I wasn't married but in a long term relationship (10+ yrs). I think that relationship had already run it's course. I'm better off now having been married for eight years to an amazing woman that puts up with my hobbies.

Well here's mine. It's the AMT Chevy Titan 90. This particular Chevy Titan 90 real truck and model was made from 1976-78 before they changed to the Wide Grille in 1979. I will be a making a single axle out of it and I hope to get the AMT Haulaway Trailer to pull behind it. Some day when I get all my 1/25 Corvette models done they will go on the trailer. I have a idea of a paint scheme but not sure yet. Hope you follow along. View attachment 129006View attachment 129007

I'll follow Lee.
Tea, please and biscuits.;)
 
Hmmm, all these kit look like lots of fun and I am so tempted, but have no traditional trucking kits.
Not a good time for me budget wise right now to be buying new ones

Although, I do have this set sitting around and really my Memphis Belle is sadly sitting there with nothing to keep her supplied

Not sure if it counts?

Go for it, Blake. It doesn't have to be a traditional truck, and your planned kit fits the bill.
I'm ready to watch your progress on your kit.
