Chuck Most Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Finished my first Peterbilt earlier this year (or was it last year...?), and I wanted it to have a Paccar sister on the shelf. So, here's my first finished KW. This started out with a Revell snap kit, and a few choice bits from a glue-bomb AMT Watkins KW. The idea here was an early '70's tractor that was upgraded with a Cummins NTC 475 and a newer 8-bag air ride sometime in the '90's. At that time, it was also treated to a fresh coat of Chrysler Intense Blue Pearl and some white stripes. Well, it ain't sometime in the '90's anymore and she's starting to look like she needs another trip to the spa... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
