Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

International KB8 & Lowboy With Cat D6 Dozer - By Chester Fesmire


Here's another view of Chester Fesmire's great model of the International KB8 built from an Imex International KB8 with shortened chassis, added Alloy Forms differential, springs, and deck winch, Herpa wheels, and a lot of "parts box stuff" like the battery box and fifth wheel. Scratchbuilt parts include rear fenders and exhaust. The winch has lead core fishing line and the front light bar/license plate holder is cut from an old fire truck hose reel. It is shown hauling a Sheepscot 20 ton beavertail trailer with Lonestar Models wheels and tires. The load is a Woodland Scenics bulldozer. The little people are Preiser figures. Also shown in Photo Gallery 126.
