AITM Diamond T1000C

[mullett471]

Dave Natale at American Industrial Truck Models(http://www.aitruckmodels.com/) has just released the old Frank Gortesma Diamond T1000C resin transkit.
It looks much improved over the old one with a lot more parts too!
I have the original(In The Shop)and it only came with the cab/interior tub,cab steps & bumper.
Looks good value at $60.

Mullett471 what would the donnor chassis be? The pics at the bottom is cool is there any body that makes the stack flapper or rain cap?

kangaroo here in oz used to do raincaps but now that kangaroo is gone most of there stuff is getting harder to get

[mullett471]

Donor chassis would be the Astro/Titan or the Pete/KW.
I am using the Astro chassis on mine that is "In The Shop".
Spaulding Trading & Shipping have the Kangaroo Decals rain caps in their Ebay store at the moment at $6 Buy It Now.
They have 3 sets which contain three different sizes in each set,
Should be good quality stuff,Kangaroo items always were,such a shame they aren't still around(the owner died a few years ago now).

Here's the link for the auction

I have one of Dave's (AITM) resin Dodge CNT-900's I am working on. This one was not available when I placed my order. It will be ordered and built, I love the old stuff. I can't wait to see your progress.

Frank's web site is still up if anyone wants to check out what Dave Natale will be offering from his purchase of Frank's masters. modeltrucks.pcfox.net/index.html It's not all there but you can get the general idea. I am just finishing one of Frank's Marmon 110" C.O.E. kits, mine was cast from a mold that was past it's prime. But, with a lot of work I now have a model of a truck not offered in the main stream.
