Western Star Trucks Sales, Inc. is an American truck manufacturer headquartered in Portland, Oregon.
In 1967 White Motor Company started the Western Star division as White Western Star with a new plant at Kelowna, British Columbia, sharing headquarters with White in Cleveland, Ohio. White Western Star trucks in that era typically used cabs from its sister company, Autocar. Western Star production was moved to Ogden, Utah, but the brand was not included in the 1981 sale of White's truck business to Volvo, instead being sold to Bow Valley Resources and Nova Corporation, each owning 50%.[1][2][3]
In 1991, Western Star Trucks was purchased by the owners of the Western Star Australian subsidiary, Terry Peabody and Bob Shand.[1] Western Star Trucks acquired the bus manufacturer Ontario Bus Industries (renamed Orion Bus Industries) in 1995. ERF trucks was purchased by Western Star in 1996.[4][5] It was sold in 2000 to MAN.
In 2002, Western Star production was moved to a plant in Portland, Oregon.[9] 4700, 4800, 4900 and 6900 model trucks are still manufactured in the Portland Truck Plant. In May 2015, the Daimler Trucks North America plant in Cleveland, North Carolina, began to build 4700 and 4900 models, as well as assemble all new semi tractor 5700XE models.[10]
More recently, Western Star MBT 40 trucks operated for bauxite mining in Guinea.
The 4700 Series is Western Star's entry-level model and is available in truck and tractor applications, both with a 110-inch (2,790 mm) BBC. In vocational applications, its engineering helps reduce upfitting time and costs for body builders, and can be outfitted for virtually any vocational application. For on-highway use, the 4700 is available in a daycab and with 40" sleeper configuration and is primarily used in short haul applications.
The 4800 Series offers more powerful engine options than the 4700 and features a 109-inch (2,770 mm) BBC. Western Star provides the truck as a bare chassis and cab, which can be fitted with a dump body, mixer, tank, crane, or other structure by a bodybuilding company as desired by the customer. The factory-installed twin steer option is also popular on this model for dump and mixer applications. Tractor versions are also available.
The 4900 Series features a 123-inch (3,120 mm) BBC. This is a multi-use truck/tractor which is targeted at a variety of industries. The truck can be built as a tractor with fifth wheel, bare chassis for a bodybuilder to outfit, or a lowered-cab model (Low Max) for auto hauling. The 4900 is available in five configurations including Extreme Duty and Twin Steer.
The X-series features a 122-inch (3,100 mm) BBC and is available as set forward or set back front axle. Engine choices are Detroit or Cummins with up to 605 hp / 2050 lb-ft. The truck can be ordered as daycab or with sleeper.
The 5700XE launched in 2015.
The 6900 Series is the highest capacity model built by Western Star. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I always enjoy the big rig kits, when I was a kid I remember Overdrive magazine having the model of the month contest. It was a magazine for truckers, and I always thought that was a neat section.
Another example of one method to model building success. Not right. Not wrong. But a tried and true, step by step path to assured fun with minimal frustration. Thanks again - it's a BEAUTY.
My dad was a diesel mechanic who worked for White Trucks in Chicago for years. I grew up around the shop and the Western Star was one of my favorites.....probably 2nd behind the Road Boss
From 1971 until they moved to Alsip I spent hours every Friday night going through micro- fiche slides trying to get parts at White on 39th and Ashland.
Our most awesome truck was a long hood Road Boss. Looked very similar to this Star.
As a long-haul truck driver for 22 years - I don't ever remember "making" my bed in the sleeper. No one but me was ever in it.
I like the idea of some after market parts paks for these kits. The "pogo stick" and the red & blue air lines would be a nice touch.
Finally, on the 1 to 1 rigs - the fuel tanks do not have seams like this kit. A certain amount of skill to remove the seams and repaint
in a gun metal shade would fit the bill nicely. Over all, it looks like this was re-released as a pretty good rendition.
Now that this kit is back and readily available again I may just have to kitbash in a 8V92TA and resin cast a goblin face so I can replicate the Happy Time Toyz truck from Maximum Overdrive.
Why would anyone say anything negative about your builds? You are simply doing review build ups. Showing us what is in these kits and what to expect if there is any factory misprints or defects. And you tell us that you're not going into great painting details. Mainly due to the time factor. I say to hell with them. Chris you rock this crap. You videos are excellent and extremely informative and entertaining 👏 👍 😀
Oh yeah and I love how you are able to paint them in the amount of time you have...especially the patina and worn out ones. Like the green 69 Camaro. Keep them moving bud.I have nothing bad to say about you Chris, even when you might not say something exactly correct. I know what you mean.
Thanks a lot!
Hello I'm Keith Hamilton love yur show I have been model building for almost 50 years love HOT RODS and VINTAGE DRAGSTERS. JUST LETTING YU KNOW HOW MUCH YU INSPIRED ME TO IMPROVE MY MODEL BUILDING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MAY GOD BLESS YU...
Very well done on the Western Star 4964 Chris! My first model kits that I built back in 2002-2003 while finishing high school were the Italeri heavy truck kits and I must say that they are definitely the most detailed and easiest to build! Within the last 3 years, I've built a few of their Euro semi tractors too! I am glad to see AMT bringing these out! I need to grab this one! FYI that 4964 is a 1980's era with a Cummins 400 BC!
Did that man figure come with that semi ytuck
I wish AMP or someone would make a 9500 GMC crackerbox cab over. Year 1967.
Love building the Big Rigs!! 👍🙂
Gorgeous build, Chris. Great view of how well everything fits together with no problems. Super design.
You always do an amazing job with your model kits built love them thank you for your videos I learn so much from them excellent work.
Sweet build! You are the king of spray can paint.
Awesome build great details
Got this on order. Great video Chris keep em coming I'll keep watching.
Absolutely great model. I love trucks and this one is not the exception. Great work Chris.
That is one good-looking truck cool old looking strut truck
Looks great 👍 good job as always 😁thanx for sharing your videos.love them all
Absolutely gorgeous truck; I love them especially big rigs like this. I guess, this is yet the best model ever technically speaking. That front grill and general molding makes a great model. Building the cab and chassis along with suspension from zero it takes a lot of nerve as could end up deformed or not really well finished. What is most impressive about your building technique is you didn't need any kind of jig to make fit the whole thing at the end. You even remind me that I should get a visor for my "Pete" 357 all in red from chassis to hubcaps, to body and interiors. I like very much chassis matching body color. If you watch truck shows, you'll notice that almost are like I say so I decided to build and paint mine, same color overall. Try it Chris, bet you wont feel down once the work is done. Well, my dear Sensei, you are now "3rd DAN blackbelt". Congrats and thanks for such a gift.
Thanks bud!
Very nice kit!!! I like the Western Star and many other truck kits. Keep up the great work.
I like building the truck models. Any scale.... They have always been my best builds. You do an amazing job lol. Keep building.... Cheers
Very nice looking kit. It appears to be one of the better engineered AMT big truck kits. You did an awesome job assembling the kit as you always do. Thanks for sharing.
This truck looks so awesome, Chris!!!!
Great looking build as usual! Love your big rig builds. Haven’t tried an Italari truck kit going to have to try this one. Thanks Chris. 😎
New to the channel. Subscribed right away. After 42 years owning, driving, and wrenching I'm retired with time on my hands.
Ordered the Transtar 4070A kit.
It will be my first build.
Can anyone refer me to basic tip type videos or will I learn enough watching Chris' videos?
Common rookie mistakes? ModPodge? When and where?
Super glue. When and why?
I'll travel to a model shop in the city when the kit arrives.
What will I need to pick up as a first time builder?
Thanks for the content.
I built a BJ and the Bear truck model kit back in the early 80s when I was a kid. Loved the piano songs. Sounded like I was watching a Peanuts cartoon. I love the music from the Peanuts cartoons. Need a driver figure to sit inside the interior.
This looks great! I have an Italeri truck in my stash now, albeit a European one, and this has inspired me to put it together although I presently have no space to store it! Looks like this one went together without any hassle.
Really ⁸⁸8
Came out great! Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend. -David
looks killer Chris
Speaking of hood hinges, I have the 1/25 scale Western Star in Coca-Cola livery and the hinges on that were very difficult and the hood won't even open all the way but you can still see the engine just fine from a side/back view.
Nice job man love building tractors
Thanks for the awesome video once again this was absolutely beautiful love this truck can't wait to get mine I love building the semi models look forward to more videos thank you and model on
That's a sharp looking truck, I gotta have one or 4
Outstanding ! I’m currently doing the italeri release of that kit!
Happy new year. Fantastic truck sleeping cabin, nice decals.
Nice Kit!
Looks like I am going to have to get that kit. Thanks for posting. Greeting from Manitiwoc.
very enjoyable video … thanks for posting it
Nice build Chris!
Very Nice work Brother !!!!! Looks Great !!!
Very neat!!!
Looks pretty good thankd for the review and tutorial! I built a Western Star similar to this last year and I agree it is a great building kit and fits nicely together. Having also built Italeri's Freightliner FLC I can attest that kit fights with this one for no.2 spot on the easiest and best looking kits out there. The Western Star and Freightliner kits have to be on your list if you're looking for great looking and nice building kits out of the box!
Them tires are nicely detailed, maybe you can't sand them but you can dust them with chalks.
Great dash decal and chassis stickers. And WOW look at that grill, the mirror brackets look closer to scale too. All the above, (except grill) would be great aftermarket parts.
I like to model in the 50's 60's and 70's time period but MAN! This kit looks like a Damn Enjoyable build. I may have to get it anyway.
Such a nice job 👍
Very cool! Nice job sirrrrrrrrrr. Thank you for sharing. 👍 ❤️
Love it, it is a very nice truck Chris. I am going to have to get one myself. The only thing Missing is a pogo stick with some vinyl hose for the air lines and electrical.Everything else is beautiful.
I’m painting my Moebius ‘72 F-250 Ranger XLT with Snow Plow in a dark brown and bronze combo, like the decals you used, on your truck.
Awesome job
Awesome kit
❤️❤️❤️ SWEET ❤️❤️❤️ , GREAT
BUILD TRUCKER CHRIS ❤️
Glad you liked it!!
Very sharp looking semi truck😊❤👍
The best build i've ever seen, that insane i'm in admiration, i subscribe to see your future builds. Great jobs mate !
Wow, thanks!
@@hpiguy you're welcome!
Looks great - soon to be going down the highway.
Nicely done
This is a nice kit
Looks good Chris... by the way the "extra" visor in chrome will not fit the Star. It's for the Freightliner FLC and that's because all Italeri rigs are based on the first issue Freightliner and all kits followed suit after that with the same frames, tanks, battery boxes suspension, diffs and the same Cummins 400 engine. The exceptions are the Peterbilt 377/378 issues with true Peterbilt frame, suspension and Detroit 60 Series engines. Cheers :)
Nice looking truck sir!
Awesome awesome
Awesome
Excellent job.
I've never considered a truck model even though they have looked interesting in the past - mainly because of the lack of room to display one. This build looks so easy I may just go and try it - or at least some other one.
Speaking of space - where do you store/display all these models from your build reviews?? Have you ever shown your viewers this area?
hpiguys Workshop Chris You did it again.another super build of Big rig Western Star...When I see start to build them I want start building these kits again I haven't built a model kit of any kind in a long time I will have to build one and who knows I may build one while I'm filming it..Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 to you and your family and a Happy New Year 🎉🎊🎉🎇2023 Stay Safe....
Looks awesome as always 👍🏻🎄👍🏻but not sure if I'm ready to try a big rig yet 😅
Awesome kit and build as usual! Have you ever seen the Masterbox figure kits? They have a few for big rigs. I've seen them on Amazon.
Awesome 👍👍
Thanks 🤗
Sweet
It would be amazing if there was a lighting kit that you could wire into one of these
Thanks for this brilliant video, it couldn't come at a better time !!!! I bought from a model swapmeet the 1989 Italeri version of this kit in mint condition for 40 English pounds. The tyres are plastic and the sleeper has eybrow windows. I've built my cab and the rest of the kit the same way that you have. Oh, I also use Rustoleum paint. Great review, just love your channel. Wishing you, Chris a Merry Christmas a Happy and Healthy New Year from Great Britain.👍👍👍👍👍
Just my opinion, but I think you should use Chrome paint instead of aluminum. I think it would look better. It's shiny and not as dull as the aluminum.
Beautiful work. I have a AMT kit DC 9964B ready to build, and I was wondering if you could direct me to some references for the Cummings 250 HP diesel engine. I can't seem to find anything ,they all seem to be different variations or completely different.
IT'S 👀 @NICE 👌 KIT been looking at them for years IT'S @FREIGHTLINER frame Glider 👌KIT it's nice 10-4!"
Beautiful job. Western Stars deserve a bright color like that. Premium paint work on a premium truck.
I did want to see you put the body decals on, to know how you handled the cutouts. Hopefully you can add a few words to describe what you did.
The only cut out is for the air cleaner and you simply spin an Xacto knife in the hole once they dry.
@@hpiguy I didn't know how easy or hard it would be if you covered over it. Thank you.
Where do you display your finished models when you're done?
I built the 379 Peter Built truck smiler to this one
Nice build up Chris! Quick question...what size spring clamps do you use?? Thanks!
The ones from the dollar store, 8 packs for $1.25
@@hpiguy - Thanks!
Maybe total toys cairns have truck model kits
Another OUTSTANDING job, as usual. Is the 1/24th or 1/25th bigger?
The smaller the second number means the bigger the scale. 1/16th is bigger than 1/24th. 👍
Correct, as Nick says, 1/24th would be the length of the regular truck divided by 24.
1/25 would be the truck divided into 25 equal pieces.
1/6th scale would be the truck divided into only 6 huge pieces.
(This is just a very simple way of thinking of it)
The higher the number, the smaller the pieces as you 'cut it up'.
Another way as I understand it is: 1/25=1inch on the model equals 25inches on the actual vehicle. 👍
Hi nice job. Have you done a 4864F before or know where you can get one,? I'm looking for a 90s day cab model if possible. But anything considered.
What glue are you using for the frame?
Quick question I’m in the process of building the Coca-Cola version and on the rear axles there is a gap right. Just wanted to make sure I did it right?
SOOOOO KOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL …..
Next truck.....Alaskan Hauler.
Components have been cast identical to Italeri.
Hello how are you? I wanted to know if you can tell me how wide it is (from fender to fender)
I'm making the 3d model to print a 1/14 cabin but I can't find the measurements.
thank you very much
what kind of glue are you using
I enjoy Plastruct Bondene, works fast.
How long does it actually take to build a model
Completely depends on the person and how detailed they want to be or how much experience they have.
Don't compare how long it takes someone else to how long it takes you, that ruins the hobby for too many people.
I build fast and I build hundreds of models, and I don't sweat every tiny detail, rivet or color so I got this truck done in two days.
I seen on autoworld, that the price of this kit is $106. Is this right?
Nice build but priced way out of most guys budget. The price is ridiculous.
Ertl
That's a x15cunmings
What is the whole point of chrome, anyway? Cadillac fins, truck fuel tanks, bumpers, headlight bezels and more!
i just got 2 of these yesterday, and im currently printing out a test 3d green goblin mask for one=gotta have a MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE version, the only thing i dislike is visible glue joints where the real thing does not have them, but like you say Chris BUILD IT FOR YOU, other than that this is another cool build
