BlackDragon Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The next one was the Kenworth Alaskan Hauler from Matchbox/AMT. I used wheels from a.i.t.m. and the mirror support is scratchbuilt. Backlights and indicator lights are from CTM (czechtruckmodel). Thanks for looking. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What a great model truck. I love the satin finish on such a work truck, it just looks right. The color combination too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 This may very well be the best Alaskan Hauler model that I have ever seen!! Excellent work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have to also say this is one of the best Alaskan Haulers. The AITM tires and wheels look perfect on it. I have been gathering bits and pieces of this kit myself to attempt to build one someday. Yours has definitely put that want into high gear.

Superpeterbilt Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Man, this truck looks killer with the wheel upgrade. Ive always thought that was a weak point with this kit. Excellent work! As the other said, this may be the best one Ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Michael, That is one really fine looking example of the Alaska hauler. And I whole heartedly agree with everyone elses comments on the satin paint job,your wheel and tires choice is spot on.
