dee Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hi, Sharp looking Kenworth - what technique did you use to get the quality paint work? Cheers, Jim i painted the copper all over the cab then taped off the stripes and painted the bronze, after taping the stripes i used dullcote to help seal the tape to prevent bleed through when i sprayed the topcoat.after that i cleared the complete cab.

Kostas Parchas Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You have done a great job, amazing paint combo, nice and clean build. What you need now is to hook a Moebius 53ft trailer with maching colors and there you are. Kostas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm short about a half dozen hands trying to mock up the engine/transmission/drive shaft/axle/drive/axle... Grrr... just a lot of test fitting and fiddling around with it until i was happy with the way it looked. the instruction sheet is kinda unclear so you just have to kind of guess at it.
