Decals For Truck Tractors & Trailers, 1/87 (HO) scale - Includes decals for International Transport company door logos and fuel and use permit decals

 

International Transport was based in Rochester, Minnesota and carried all types of farm, construction, and industrial equipment and machinery produced in the upper Midwest and delivered throughout the United States and Canada. International Transport had two colors of lettering and decals, this is the more common one in green. This set is a perfect complement if you're building several International Transport truck tractors in different dark green and yellow-gold paint schemes. International Transport operators seem to have had new and "lightly used" trucks that were extremely well maintained. All owner-operator truck tractors we've uncovered were painted in the "standard colors" for International Transport, dark green and yellow-gold, but without a specific scheme (refer to prototype photos); we believe the paint colors were a requirement for leasing on with International Transport. We've uncovered a single photo of International Transport logos on a red and white cabover Freightliner but not knowing the specifics it would appear to be the extreme exception rather than the rule. Suitable readily available models would include Athearn Freightliner and Kenworth models, especially in the fancy owner operator paint schemes in appropriate dark green and yellow-gold. Older Herpa North American prototype models would also be appropriate. Any resin or specialty sleeper equipped model truck tractors from the late '60s through late '80s, painted in dark green and yellow-gold, would be good candidates as well.
