2010 International Lonestar

The instructions with this kit are pitiful! You need to get Revell of Germany's Instructions. Here is how; Google 2010 International LoneStar Revell.de. Open your first hit. This is Revell of Germany's LoneStar. It essentially the same kit. On the right side of the page just below the color chips is a PDF file in yellow font. Click and save to you computer. Now put the instructions that came with the kit in the bottom of your birdcage. The next biggest challenge with this kit is hood to body and fender fit (lower fender to upper fender). Work on the hood to cowl fit first then upper to lower fenders next. If you don't get this right you will end up with a 6mm gap between the upper and lower fenders.I would recommend that you cut each lower fender North to South on the same plane that the mounting pin is molded to. This decreases the width of the lower fender and allows you to close the hood and fit each lower fender to upper fender separately by glueing them directly to the mounting brackets. (There is a picture of this fender modification in the LoneStar photos. The silver and purple truck). Leave the coolant bottle off until you get the hood and fender fit completed. You can remove/cut those tabs from the lower cab body. The main driveshaft on my kit was 2mm too short and the one between the differentials was 2mm too long. The last thing that troubles me about this kit was that not much thought was given to hiding the tree sprues on chrome parts example being drivers side cab steps, top edge of sun visor and the lower steps on the tool box. But regardless of the above, I would rate this kit at 5 stars.
