I’m with Brian I would just make a new Stirrup out of wire. I used to have a real 1.1 Pete Sleeper like yours I sold it for Scrap but kept the stirrups. If I find them I’ll post a pic for you
JT. Thanks for the complement when I got this kit about 2yrs I just knew what color to paint it. These old snappers deserve some love they’re not that bad if you take your time and rework them.
Brian. Thanks for the complement I enjoy taking pictures in my backyard it’s a place I’ve always took pictures for years and has served me well. The last 1/32 KW Aerodyne I built was back in 1983 when they first one came out with this truck I think. I built it box stock. Sadly I sold all of my 1/32 scale trucks when I switched to 1/25 scale around 1984-85 I’m enjoying going back to this scale with the parts and knowledge at hand these days
Well it was beautiful day today so I prep the cab/hood and cut the bottom of the fenders off so the step box would fit also got some white paint on it this evening right before it started turning cold enjoy the pics
This will be the first completed truck of mine for a year 2020. Some details add are Herb Deeks rubber tires on the front, custom baby moons to the rear wheels and some AMT tail lights. Enjoy the pics.
