dodgefever Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I stumbled upon this photo and it's got me daydreaming about trying to build it - I think it's a cool looking rig. Is there anything in resin for that old cab & hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link, http://www.aitruckmodels.com/ There's a link for Illini Replica Conversions on the sitr, they have two resin '50s Kenworth cab conversions. The link to IIIini Replica Conversion is not working for me, maybe you can get it to work. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapazleo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Revell made the 1/48 scale one in various versions also Ulrich makes one in 1/87 scale they were part of Walthers model railroad company. Ulrich has a web site you can google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgefever Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I'd like to stick to 1/25, I have a hard enough time seeing what I'm doing without going to smaller scales. I'll think about the Illini resin conversion... it looks nice, but it's pricey.
