SINCLAIR

Chevrolet Titan 90 "Michigan Special" tractor wearing the old Sinclair Gas Station colors.

I added a resin 12v71 Detroit Diesel (barely visable above), wide float front tires, dual air cleaners. Microscale Sinclair logos and red pin stripes.


INDIANHEAD

International Transtar CO4090 daycab tractor.

The real thing.

The 4090 was a taller mounted co4070, allowing for larger engines and radiator.

Scratchbuilt dry-type air cleaner stack, bumper. Transtar II chassis.

The tanker was a red and white built-up that I bought off ebay. I added an RNK tool box, repaired the damage to the body, and repainted it.

Thanks to Dave Faust for the Indianhead logos!

DRESSED IN WARPAINT

RAIDER

1975 Diamond Reo Raider set-back axle heavy tractor. Frank Gortsema conversion, RNK front wheels, tires and cab guard, MTFA rear wheels.


RYDER

Ford WT9000 COE. Resin conversion from Spaulding Shipping and Trading. Still needs windshield wipers.


GOLDEN GOOSE

Glendenning Motorways Mack R600 and Fruehauf trailer. Both were built-up glue-bombs purchased off ebay, stripped, repaired, repainted and rebuilt.

MCLEAN

White 7000 cabover and Trailmobile trailer in McLean livery. The White is a resin conversion from Spaulding Shipping and Trading.

UGH!

This started as a glue-bomb AMT Peterbilt wrecker. NASTY condition! I spent little time on this, but managed to make a feeble attempt at a set-back axle Peterbilt 359, using parts from the partsbox.

This is a 5 foot model. Looks good from 5 feet away!


BROWN!

Here's another brown 359

Rebuild of the AMT T500 kit. Modified to look somewhat plain, single exhaust, painted rear 5 hole wheels, small bumper with no lights.


CHOCOLATE AND BUTTERSCOTCH

keeping the brown theme going..

Dan McGrew's Peterbilt 359 ('72? with UniLite cab). Scratchbuilt 73" sleeper. RNK toolbox, CFC turbowing, MTFA mirrors


LITTLE WINDOWS

Built to look factory fresh, representing 2 1967 Peterbilt Wide-Front 359's, one a standard hood, the other a long hood.
