ERTL
Trucks
Conventional rigids and artics
Kit No. 0000. 1:25th scale
Some of these are old and some rare
which I could not hope to reproduce, the cab and chassis is ERTL
Paystar 5000 but the body is scratch built.
When I saw this truck it was loaded with 41 tons of tiles
30 for the boss and 11 for me said the driver
This is one of the "S" series
internationals from
ERTL with their Fridge (reefer)
on the back I cut 65mm out of the chassis to
make
this short wheel base rig
and note how ERTL's steering always turned, a
sadly
lacking feature on AMT kits
The DM800 Mack is quite impressive, it's
big and wide
but it has a tiny cab
offset on the drivers side, the bonnet sides
lift
and the wings tilt forward.
The trailer came with a dolly in case you
wanted to
make a "train"
This big Pete weighs a ton, it has a metal
chassis,
it was awfully hard to clean up and
difficult to glue together but it looks good as
does
it's follow up kit below
it looks impressive but not very practical
This volvo is the N10 and also has a metal
chassis
but I think that this was the last kit
to be made this way thank goodness.
it looks good under this trailer
