This old kw looks tougher than a work boot sandwich, nice job on this one.

Top notch Mack!!

That's a nice honest looking old pete, this is proof that a clean simple build is sometimes exactly what the doctor ordered.

Mighty good looking builds!!

Sharp looking build!!

Excellent well used looking truck! Weathering looks realistic, nice job on this one.

This is a great looking truck and trailer combination, builds like this keep me inspired to build more. Great job!

Sorry to hear about the damages, but a good repair indeed. I had a few kits in my childhood that a younger sibling or family member got a hold of before I knew it, but it helped me get better at repairing them..... or hiding them better, lol! Great job!

Cant go wrong with a "star" with a custom paint job, got a couple of these kits waiting their turn at the building table. Nice job!

Definitely looks worthy of the site to me. Great job!

This build came out great, tee up another kit and get started!

Thanks a lot my friends for your kind words. This site makes you feel like part of a family, and encourages you to show and build more. Thanks again!

This my fellow modelers is the oldest truck in my collection. It is the big brother to the Pete 352 that I last featured here. This original AMT T-520 kit was purchased back in 1978 from a department store clearance rack. I built the frame and engine but never got around to painting anything, anyway I eventually lost interest and decided to box it up and put it in my closet. There is where this truck sat until the late 90's when I was between builds at the time. I painted the frame, engine, and a few other related items, and then put the kit in my "to build" stash where it sat until about 2004 when I decided to finally finish it. The trailer was added a few years ago to finally complete the build. Thanks for looking!

Nice looking build. I like the use of the budd wheels on the drives also.

Good looking heavy duty oil field spec build. Great job!

Nice job on this one!!, you can almost smell the garbage juice, lol!!

Spot on weathering Dave. Truck looks well used, but not used up. Great job!

Great job on this one!!

Nice man, you have knocked this one out of the park for sure! Don't worry about the orange paint, just let us fellow modelers know in advance when you're ready to buy more, so we can stock up first! Great job JT!!

Nice realistic looking truck, the color combination is bang on!

That's a nice looking machine there driver....great job!

I have a few in my collection, but this one is my favorite.

Nice. Great attention to detail, two thumbs up!

Good looking build, I can smell the black diesel smoke now.

Now that's a sweet looking old KW you got there, great work!
