Hmann68 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi, here's the Watkins kit that I built a few years ago for a friend who found both the tractor and trailer kits in his parents basement, in the boxes and unbuilt. I took a few liberties such as painting the tanks and adding some gold striping to break up all that red and white. Tamiya paint mostly and lots of BMF. I remember it being a difficult kit but worth the time. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Whalen Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Nice job on the Kenworth Watkins rig. One of my favourite kits and have built a few but never in these colours - something I intend to put right. I like what you've done with the fuel tanks.

I remember the tanks looking poor after joining them together, so I filled the seams and my buddy asked for them to be painted with chrome rings. They look ok!

iamsuperdan Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Nice job! That rear suspension was a serious pain. I had take a breather from that kit after getting the chassis together. It annoyed me that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
