Here is my finished big rig...It is the Revell Kenworth W900 Snap kit with some custom touches. I made the front just a little lower, by notching the spring mount. Everything else is stock underneath. I made the exhaust stacks from a plastic coat hanger. They had the perfect bend already, and are twice the size of what the kit came with. I was going for the stealth look, and had planned on doing black with dark grey accents...but ended up going with flat black accents. All the original chrome pieces were painted with auto trim black paint. They have a black chrome look, but hard to see it in pics. I decide to change things up with the engine...now I know its not CAT yellow lol, but this is a custom built truck from the factory, and the driver wanted an red/orange engine. The interior is a dark grey with red accents. Installed a white steering wheel and shift knob for some contrast. I decide to leave the mirrors, headlights, cab lights and horns chrome, to give a little depth to the truck, just so its not all black. Everything is snapped together, other than the glass. I planned on putting the diesel fuel only and numbers decals on, but like the look without them. I might add the later on, or make some custom ones. Thanks for checking out my first big rig build. The only thign I have a problem with is the hood doesnt fit tight against the base of the windshield...but it will probably be displayed with hood open anyways ![]()
