KJ790 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I have finally finished this combo. The truck is an AMT K123 kit that has been heavily modified to be backdated to a 1964 model. The trailer is almost entirely scratch built. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantom Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Not right posting real trucks and saying they are models. 🤣 Outstanding build!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug 1061 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Superb job all around there. Pics 4 and 5 done in grayscale would really put it back in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Looks amazing! The weathering and picture angles makes it look real. Very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! You gave me an idea to make these look like old photographs that have been scanned into a computer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Very impressive realism. The 3rd pic in black and white would fool most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Every time you finish a build I end up saying that it is my favorite one yet. This one is no exception. You are not only the KW king, but you are the trailer king as well. You have a talent for capturing the vintage look. I always enjoy your builds and I am looking forward to seeing your next project! Excellent build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergey Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Impressive work, KJ! I really like the combo! Nice paint work and weathering - too, especially on a freezer. Open windows add nice touch! I would only slightly shade the grill and change trailer gates locker rods. By the way: oval marker light on trailer are Czech Truck Model sets too? How much sets of oval lights have you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Whalen Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Nice build that really captures the time period it has been built to represent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
