gotnitro? Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 More work on the kw. I needed to replace the kit glass w takeout container plastic , looks more to scale . While I was screwing with the cab, I fashioned a visor from aluminum sheet time for dust ! Using a tamiya weathering pack and water i applied a thin wash around the edges of bumper and overall on the cab/ fenders. the bumper and cage need chipping, they look pretty new vs the deck lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 That's a crazy build Jeff! You have tremendous skills and this KW is simply fantastic. I didn't build big rigs since I was 16 years old and you bring me back some great memories. Those big tires remind me of the "6 pack" truck in the TV series Jade Fever. I take my hat off to you sir!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could but its actually green fish line , maybe a coat of gunmetal would give the look Other question I have , what does the gin poles attach to when stowed , they dont seem to hook to roller , guess theres a pivot in the trough they rotate on ?

DrKerry Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Could you give it a little black wash to dull the green down? Gunmetal may look pretty good too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
