Kenworth t600 FINISHED!
Pete68 replied to Thedragsterdude's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Hope to see it here soon. -
That is one sharp looking farm truck. The build is very clean and tidy you didn’t a great job on it. The homemade bed is outstanding. Now you have gave me a idea to build one like the real one I once owned. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks I appreciate your complement. These are not the easiest to build with all the fit issues and the little extra details where a change for me. I really enjoy building these and there my favorite of all the AMT kits. -
Kenworth aerodyne cabover

It’s hard for my me too decide on that one Ken I like the decade before these it’s hard to choose. But I know one thing anything after 1990 my likeness for trucks decreases drastically for sure. These new trucks to me is a Pickup on steroids PACCAR include. -

That’s beautiful Ken. The black base brings the depth out of the green. Of course Green is my favorite color. -

Your welcome Ken. I know you will make the a beautiful truck like you always do. -
Here’s another old build that I started around 2010 and never finished. When New Ray came out with these I bought 2 cases of them. I would disassemble them and strip the paint off then Custom Make my own Decals and sell them on eBay. Here’s one that never made it to eBay that I was working on and I never finished it. Maybe now I will finish the Truck but it will not be for sale this time it’s going into my personal collection. The truck cab is painted Tangerine Orange and I hand painted the hood, fenders, grille and frame with Testors Acrylic Dark Blue. The Roadway decals are the old Ert DM600 ones scaled to 1/43 that I did. I’ll be adding some Don Mills Wheels, Mirrors, Bulldog and side badge decals. Other parts are from 1/43 AMT models like the front spit rim rings the old 2 piece Tire’s, metal axles and I made a scratch built bumper made from styrene channel. Hope you follow along.
