Nice start.

Got to have a front seat for this build those short bunks were always neat

Looking good so far clean cuts

I like the dents in the bed very convincing

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

These were one of my favorite AMT Cabovers I never had any problems with them and always look great when there done despite their short comings

I like these Pete Day Cabs because the window cut outs are there for you

Here front and center. And I thought KJ had a lot of K-123s

Another front seat looking forward to seeing this

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

Now that’s looking great like the decals

Thanks Brian I’m so burned out on 1/25. These are great space savers too

Thanks Jeff these little guys can fool you

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

Thanks Dave The colors are testors mystic emerald green with the kit decals

Warren this will be a very nice build can’t wait for you to get started on this one

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.

I like that trailer with the Thermo King Reefer very nice

Very nice

Ok she is done. Moving to Under Glass

Very nice choice

I’m glad you did Sam

I’m with Bill these are always fun to build and easy and they seem to always turn out great you will like this kit outside the tires can be tricky

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

Very nice combo looking forward to this
