skymnky721 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Not sure if this will get the pics in,,but its AMT Kenworth 123 Cabover,,lets see if it loads pics,,,,ok it worked,,cool. Anyways,,now that our state has been shut down I ,,got back to building ect. This kit had alot of issues as far as fit + fitment, the hinge for tilt cab was really weak,,so I just made it a lift off style. and some other stuff,,,but overall it worked out ok. I used Testors spraycan enamel,,and valspar hardware paint for chassis,,hand painted everything else,,and since this is the 1st big rig Ive ever built,,I mostly do cars+bikes,,it was a neat experience to build a big rig.

KW909 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Very nice rig considering it is an AMT, I am building the Mack r685st and am having lots of similar issues. Persistence pays off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skymnky721 Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Thanks you all,,I would like to do more trucks,,I do have the Tyrone Malone drag truck to do soon,,so well see what that entails. I was looking at the box art/pics,,the paint job will surely be a challenge thats for sure. Looks like a fun one to do though.Thanks again,,,,S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Very nice for your first effort. Good call on the lift off cab. I build mine that way. Saves a lot of aggravation not to mention damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
