International Paystar 5000 tractor

With all the Paystar kits that I use for kitbashing, I have discovered that I need to build at least one Paystar from time to time.

Nearly box-stock except for the dual exhaust, lift axle, winch tower and spoke front wheels from Auslowe.  I stripped most of the chrome.  Krylon School Bus Yellow is the color with Duplicolor gloss black for the hood and chassis.

 

International Transtar 4200

I bought this International 4270 back in 2000.  It was an "Ebay gluebomb."  Not painted, but assembled and glue smeared.  I tore it down and painted it in mid 2001.  It has sat in a box on the workbench being moved around ever since.  FINALLY I decided I should rebuild the poor thing.

4200_ruan.JPG (44106 bytes) Three years to build!  The paint was good and cured.
