Boom. What\'s going on everybody?

\\n

Product reviews are what it\\u2019s all about today and I\\u2019ve got a review of the latest International FleetStar truck released by Neo Scale Models in 1:64th Scale.

\\n

The International FleetStar family of trucks was touted as the Finest Truck Family of All. There were A variants which were available with all-International gasoline or diesel power. These A versions had 7 models to choose from in single or tandem axle configurations with gross vehicle ratings up to 54,000 pounds. The A\\u2019s also had a choice of a steel butterfly hood or a fiberglass tilt-hood.

\\n

The Neo 1:64th scale International truck version I\\u2019m going to talk about today is a D variant. The D\\u2019s were all-diesels and offered big displacement power in either a single or tandem axle configuration. There were only 2 models available in the D variants, each with the same 92-inch bumper to back of cab conventional design. The power was one of 6 popular Cummins and Detroit engines giving the D versions a gross combined weight rating up to 79,000 pounds of those heavy highway applications.

\\n

This is the Neo Scale Models 1:64th scale International FleetStar F-2000-D. It is a 1963 model year, and it is painted in black with silver roof on it.

\\n

To take this guy off of the base plate. It\'s just two Phillips head screws underneath. That\'s all that is holding it down. However, when you\'re doing this, please make sure you hold between the frame and the base plate. Neo Scale Models solved the problem of the fragility of the original 1:64th scale trucks that were made in resin because they decided to use a die-cast frame instead of the junkie resin frame that the other manufacturer used. So these come out to be a very good, very sturdy model that will really enhance your collection, especially with the limited nature of them. They only make a couple of thousand max of any tooling.

\\n

This truck has a fifth wheel that\'s set up for DCP/First Gear vintage trailers with the straight kingpin. It\'s got a license plate and two brake lights. Oh, another note it\'s got the airlines and the electrical lines there.

\\n

I have not heard about Crosby Motor Freight Company, but I\'m sure it was a real one because every single one of the trucks so far that Neo has done has been based on a real truck that they found somewhere.

\\n

If you guys know anything about Crosby Motor Freight, just let me know down in the comments below.

\\n

Okay. Neo, they made these trucks in 1:64th scale and they don\'t come with trailers. However, thanks to DCP making vintage trailers and Top Shelf Replicas having made vintage trailers. We got plenty of trailers to hitch up to these vintage trucks. And to show you what it looks like with a trailer I\'m going to go on and hook it up with one of the Wilson livestock trailers that Top Shelf Replicas made.

\\n

This Neo Scale Models International truck would look great. Sitting on your layout, pulling one of these old trailers, or it would look great sitting in its display box on your shelves.
