1/32 Kenworth K-100 Aerodyne
Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
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 -

Pete68 replied to DrKerry's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great start Doc. You know we’re not getting younger I’m only a couple months older than you. It would be nice to see this old truck build I have several models from my childhood and teen years yet glad you did give up on it. I’ll be following -
BRBO Ford Aeromax 120/ 53 foot refer
Pete68 replied to tbill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice combo looking forward to this -
This is my entry for the BRBO. It’s a AITM Mack RL700LS with a AITM Mercury Sleeper. I have also added some Don Mills 5 hole Alcoa wheels to the front with Herb Deeks rubber tires. The frame is a doner from a Monogram Mack R that will be modified. I’m uncertain about the rear wheels at this time I might go with 5 hole Alcoa or 5 hole Steel. This will have a pre 1973 dash in it casted by AITM. Here’s a parts layout and a small mock up. Enjoy the pics.

Here’s some more little details I got done tonight. Instead of snapping the Stack/Air Assembly to the back of the cab I keep it separated and touched up a few lights and Black wash the grill. I guess this will be my first complete build in 2020. -
Jeff Thanks for getting this together. I think it’s been 2yrs since I done a BRBO and I can sense this one’s going to be a lot of fun a very different atmosphere than the last one that I was in Lee
