Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Western Star Truck Tractor - By Mark Kulak


This Western Star truck tractor from Mark Kulak was built using two castings from Mont Q's custom trucks. Mark took the hood from one and the cab and sleeper from another and put them together. The frame and wheels are from Promotex like usual. The fenders are from a friend of Mark's. The trailer is from Trucks N' Stuff that Mark masked and painted to leave the chrome on the roof and rails. He was also able to mask the rear doors off so they stayed chrome but painted the lock bars blue to match. The stripes were made at a sign shop for another project, but Mark thought they looked a little better on here to break up all the blue. The truck is a very dark blue with light blue frame on the truck and trailer.
