Superpeterbilt

Were going to need to see a pic of this. Marmon used KW hoods on one of their older models, but they always built their own cabs. They certainly never "modified" parts from other truck makers. Marmon had their own production models and were definitely not a hodge podge of other truck parts. They might have built a truck that "looks" like a Peterbilt....

Anything can happen. As in the 1:1 world, if it fits, itll work! I know the GMC 9500 had the 6-71, and I know the Briggaderes had them, so why not a 6500 repower?

I like it better with the cab.

Welcome to the forum. I caught this build over on Hanks forum. Great job.

Outstanding work. Even better in the sunshine.

Great job. It came out good.

Congratulations Clayton. Welcome to farther hood. It's what lifes' all about.

Outstanding work Charles. Having watched this from the beginning, the work involved is amazing. The hoses, ladder, and brass reel are next level details for sure. Once again, amazing work.

JT, heres a link to the corrections. http://tedtaylor.hobbyvista.com/105-revell-simba/page-105.html

I wouldn't mind rescuing that old White in the middle.

Sam, a glider kit is a chassis with the cab and hood, without the rears or the motor and trans. It was a way to get a new truck without getting a new truck. It was great for a wrecked truck, or if your cab was falling apart before the rest of the truck(Freightliner).

Excellent work Dennis. That thing is massive! The Rogers decals look great. It looks perfect behind that Kw.

It looks like you might have your fuel tanks mounted upside down. The top of the tank should be even, or slightly lower than the frame rails.

So, this is a fire apparatus? I almost picked one of these up at a model show, but I didnt know much about it. I figured it would have some pretty heavy axles and suspension that Im interested to see. Just out of curiosity, how many pieces are in this kit?

The one and only, SuperPete

Speaking of Purple Petes.....

Its about time her and I built a snapper. If these are the colors she wants, then we'll do it. Shes got a keen eye for all these trucks. She knows daddys favorite truck is an Otto-car! (Autocar).

I would sell my kidneys to make that happen

Jim, I have all versions of the DM800 and they all have camelback, and the mixer has the beams. If your referring to the hard bar set up that A.I.T.M. sells, I believe that was scratch built by Rick Mark. RNK used to cast it before Dave.

The instructions are free truck coloring sheets for my daughter. Have you ever seen a Purple Pete with a pink Cummins, green tires, and yellow alcoas?

The Mack DM800, and the Paystar 5000 have the Rex mixer. The KW is the only kit to have the Challenge mixer.

then they have no business building models

I stand corrected.If thats the case, the Mack and Autocar suspensions and axles were mentioned. I would buy these by the dozens. It would be nice to be able to buy just an engine, or just a dump body or wrecker body without bashing a kit at collector prices. Keep us posted

Outstanding work JT. Im very impressed with all of the interior work on this trailer. Then I saw the working lift gate. Your definitly a pro with these race trailers. The checkerboard floor is an excellent touch. Just great job all around man. You might have answered this earlier in the thread, but where did you source all of those tool boxes from?
