Pete68 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 This will be the first completed truck of mine for a year 2020. Some details add are Herb Deeks rubber tires on the front, custom baby moons to the rear wheels and some AMT tail lights. Enjoy the pics.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 That is an all around beautiful build! The photography is awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete68 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 JT. Thanks for the complement when I got this kit about 2yrs I just knew what color to paint it. These old snappers deserve some love they’re not that bad if you take your time and rework them. Brian. Thanks for the complement I enjoy taking pictures in my backyard it’s a place I’ve always took pictures for years and has served me well. The last 1/32 KW Aerodyne I built was back in 1983 when they first one came out with this truck I think. I built it box stock. Sadly I sold all of my 1/32 scale trucks when I switched to 1/25 scale around 1984-85 I’m enjoying going back to this scale with the parts and knowledge at hand these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to deal with some health issues that put me in sort of a funk, if you know what I mean. Haven't had the desire to build because of it.

Sam I Am Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 You certainly do outstanding work in the smaller scale. I had no idea there were such a variety of subjects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Lee, That looks great. You could put Greenstein decals on it and pulling a reefer it would be spot on for that era ! Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PettyKW43 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 This build sure has me rethinking the 1/32 scale snappers ! Have a couple of the W900 Monogram kits , think it’s time do something simple that I won’t bog down on ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airea Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Very nice model, clean and neatly executed. The color is really attractive. Execution of chome parts is really well. I have one comment on the model, in fact a general comment which applies for many models in this forum: why do this truck have shiny black tires? I have never seen a vehicle, even a brand new one, with such shiny black tires. Nothing is pure black in natüre, let alone vehichle tires. They are like antrasite black at best but mostly a darker shade of grey with some level of wear and tear depending on the subject. I see that this is a general issue in most models in this forum. Maybe this is a tradition in an american scale modeling community, I dont know, I am not living in US. But I dont think that the vehicles in US have such shiny black tires, that is not realistic. I see some amazingly realistic and nice car, truck, van models in this forum but these unrealistic tires really take all the realism away for me.

Rockford Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) I've never seen this build, it looks grand! Good to see 1/32 being built. These kits can really look good with a bit of work, and that one does! I love Aerodynes, even the name is great. I know, I'm wierd.
