    1/87 Watkins W925

    in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment

    Posted

    These came in the right colors got some HO 1/87 decals awhile back for these 

    Made them both single stack one will have dual air cleaners the other single air cleaner and a lubrifiner 

    Will be changing out the rear Alcoa rims for five slot rims 

    Hoping to order a bunch of detail parts for these next month if I can 

    On the glider kit you can see I already added the Watkins heralds to the doors 

    Anyone have general dimensions for a KW lubrifiner 

    Thanks and enjoy the tow trucks are in progress slow but sure

    Next, I glued the cut-down/reassembled heads and valve covers to the block. I modified the intake manifold by cutting it down in two places, (1st: taking-out a small-section between the radiator hose hole-opening and the front of the intakes and a 2nd: in the same location right in front of the distributor mounting hole).  These 2 cuts kept the intakes into the heads pretty-much "as is" from the V8... probably not correct for the 1:1 world, but the air cleaner covers-up so much of that intake manifold anyway that I don't think it really matters.  By weathering this engine, I think it'll hide some of the imperfections in this cut-down V8.  The following pics will show you how it will look from the front view and also inside the kit's frame/body.

    Ok was hoping for maybe a resin or other media 

    As my cutting skills suck after nerve damage in my hands from when I rolled a tractor trailer thanks to a driver under the influence

    Much appreciated though 

    How much and where would I need to make the cut(s)
