codie27 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hey there Tim, I have been having quite a good look at a lot of your model trucks on your site and noticed your black 53(?) bullnose Kenworth,very, very nice.My next project is to scratchbuild one of these for myself, so I was wondering if you may have a couple of pics that you could post of suspension and interior of these old beasts that i could use for reference,as I have been having a hard time finding any.I would like to try and build it as close to the real trucks, that were offered from Kenworth in 1953, as possible.After the comments i have got about my Autocar,I am getting excited about getting this project started. Anyway hope you can help,thanks in advance. Codie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Codie Thank you for the kind words on my old KW bullnose. The resin cab is riding on a pretty stock AMT Kenworth K100 Aerodyne frame. The suspension is the KW air ride suspension. I don't have any period-correct photos of a KW.

Tim Tim Thanks for your reply.I think i may have to do something similar to what you did with yours for the frame and suspension and base my instrument panel on a K-100.I will still have to scratchbuild my cab, I think I would have that done in the time it would take to have a resin cab sent to me here in Australia,and probably be cheaper too.Anyway I will post some pics of the progress once i get started for feedback and tips for anybody interested. Thanks,Codie. Edited November 28, 2009 by codie27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
