Starting the build thread with stock pics as I'm waiting on everything to ship.

Basically I have a 41ish KW project... and a vision. 10496192_10201431904558164_4094173092899779395_o.thumb.jpg.fe25456ab8d1eec7f5c59c59b6d21f1b.jpg The 1/25 scale version uses a W900 donor stretched to 270"revell-kenworth-w900-25-scale-plastic_1_630fe29e4292a61dda40c7a77e896d73.jpg.016904018d43badefef9a11b3ec05dbe.jpg, AITM low mount kw cab as a starting point. ck136_1959kenworthlowmount.jpg.33c39d4decaf0dfeeccdf4fce803d2a9.jpg The real thing will run 6-71 with some extra turbos for fun.... do I plan do do that in scale as well

Even with all the mental details I have sorted out in the build.... color scheme eludes me at this point...so we shall see what I come up with

Just got a resin kw kit will be watching this for tips.

I had ordered this stuff a while back... had not really done much as I was waiting on it before moving forward..... but the package from jaime showed up today..... some of the nicest resin parts ever.  The aluminum tanks and fenders are top notch as well.

 

Now to get moving on this project

Chris, great project I am enjoying following along. I wanted to ask about the tanks that you got from Jamie, did you have to contact him to get them? I don't see them on his site. Also the aluminum wheels you have look great who did you get them from? Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work!

Yes, I contacted jaime through fb.  The wheels came from Doug Wagner at kamodelminis.com

I got started on the 6-71 assembly, compound turbo set up roughed in.  The valve cover options that came with the engine are both later style, and I want to reshape it to match the very early one the real truck has.  I'm trying to decide on color scheme for the truck.... I'm not 100% sure I want to go Detroit green on the motor since the rest of the truck will be over the top "street rod style" detailed and typically that would entail a color matched/detailed engine.
