After a bad 2021 I thought I would start 2022 out with new IH CO-4070A kit .I’m going with an old Schneider truck , I shortened the frame, dechromed the stacks ,air intake and the front bumper I bobbed it as well . I added a alternator grille from Thomas .

Thank you all for the comments , I’ve had a bad case of builders block have not touched this until today , I got the front wheels on the ground , mocked up the trans. Ran air lines to the rear breaks . thanks for looking .

Thank you everybody for great comments . Hakan - I did rise the motor looks more like the picture you sent to me . Dan - that’s the hards part of this build I have no ideal what the colors are going to be .

Congratulations Brian , very nice build .

Thanks Jeff the front rims and tries are from Scenes Unlimited . thank you Bill . question for you guys I’m going to use the engine from Revell 359 what do you guys think, I think it sets a little low . Any help would be appreciated . thank you

I like those DAF’s I have both of those kits this will inspire me to build mine , looking forward on how this builds up .

Looking good , man your flying through that kit .

Thanks guys for all the complements, Ronnie I think I’ll use the double head light just to be different . update I got the frame together and stretched I added an 1/2 inch added another fuel tank on the right side , the rear wheel came in yesterday from Jamie . I also decided to go with duel air intakes so I took an old hood that I had laying around (didn’t want to screw up the resin one ) and an opening on the left side . thanks for looking.

Hello and Happy New Year , hope everyone is doing well. This is my 2021 entry I’ll be using AMT Kenworth W-925 along with Auslowe’s Alaskan Hauler Transkit and a 46 inch Aerodyne sleeper. I know what your thinking a 46” Aerodyne sleeper on an Alaskan Hauler ,are you crazy but I think it will be a unique rig . Thanks for looking .

I’ll join in again , I’m going to build Auslowes Alaskan Hauler with a 46 inch Aerodyne sleeper something different .

Sorry for the late response , it’s been a rough few weeks here , but we are on the mend now . Thank you all for all the great comments , and yes the dog survived . please safe out there Mark

It was trick or treat day (mostly treat ) , got the 4 kits at Ollie’s for $19.00 a piece , then the mail lady drop off the Auslowes Alaskan hauler KW . it’s a good day . be safe

That’s great looking truck , very nice .

Man that thing looks so real , very nice job .

Thank you Jim for the comment . Vincent I think I could have moved them down just a little more , it’s better than it was before . Reduitretro I hope mine turns half as good as yours did .

Thank you guys for comments .

After seeing all the great looking Freightliner cabovers lately I thought I would try my hand at one , I started by lowering the head lights ( I could have went a little lower ) , cut open the doors , narrowed the front axle , swapped in a Peterbilt rear suspension. That’s all for now Be safe .

These are now available , I just ordered mine . Be safe Mark

Very nice awesome details .

Thank you all for the great complements . Be safe Mark

I actually finished the KW , I’m surprised . it is posted in under glass.

Thanks guys for all the comments . it is finished and under glass now . yes the grill and the fans are From Double Take sadly KJ closed up shop , has far as I know no else makes the grills & fans . thanks for looking mark

The Kenworth 86 inch Aerodyne is finished , it’s ben a Challenge to say the least from the dog chewing up the cab to the hinge breaking off during final assembly so cab can’t tilt , but I’m happy with it , and I finally finished a BRBO . thanks for looking Be safe Mark

Thank you for comment , unfortunately I lost Interest in this model , I sold it to a friend of mine , now I kick myself in the head for selling it I have another kit so maybe I’ll start another one . Be safe

Thank you all for the comments , it’s almost done waiting for the P.E. KW Emblems to arrive , I broke one of the handles on the front so I have raid the Papa kit again , waiting on the Mirrors to dry . Other than that it is done , what a nightmare it’s been putting this thing together . when I finish the little things up I put it under glass . thanks for looking be safe
