Nice subject Jeff ! Having that kit and hood is a treasure. Don't worry that you haven't a paint scheme in mind - that will make two of us . -

The worst of it is done, the exhaust pipe from the turbo to the stack should be a breeze -
BJ & The Bear KW
Old Buckaroo replied to Old Buckaroo's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Wow - I am overwhelm by the reply's and comments. Thank you all This truck was more then I should of bitten off for my reintroduction back to Big Rigs. I had built one at the age of 17 and it did not look no near like this one - but I know it was still my favorite. If I was to build this again I would go with with Modeltruckin decals. I could not match the gold stripping width and color on the decals for anything. That is why I left the stripe off between the upper colors. Jim - you missed out , how could anyone not have seen the Landers sisters -

Thank you guys Jim - Your project will piece right together as you are putting thought into it. I always seem to jump in the deep end without my water wings. I am back to making forward progress - I now have the foundation for the exhaust and air intake piping. Getting this far was a real trial . I had to rob some of my most coveted spare parts to get this exhaust / air intake setup. Thank you for looking in -

Old Buckaroo replied to Jim Whalen's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jim it is a pleasure to see you on board. I like your choice of kit , I always liked the decals that came with this one. I like the idea of "It will evolve as the build progresses" Sounds for an exciting project ! -
KW COE Aero / BJ McKay rig
Old Buckaroo replied to Old Buckaroo's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jeff - I used Alclad II chrome. This truck is now finished and in the Under Glass section Thank you to all that followed and kept me motivated. -
Two years and three days from the time I started this truck until finished. I had not built a Semi model in over 33 years. Add a move from Washington state to Montana - I am very happy to add this to the finished shelf. The rear mudflaps are hiding from me at the moment. I know I just saw them a week or so ago. Thanks for looking and I hope this truck brings back the fun memories of watching the TV show.

Brian - I am not using that transmission , it is just there for counterbalance. Kevin - Thank you for stopping by ! Slow progress, I built the double decker battery box and finished up the rear cab mounts. And now I am dragging my feet - Piping , my Achilles Heel of a truck model. Thanks for looking in -

Might be the molds were beyond quality products (?) It just makes those offerings more valuable to whoever that has them. -

Denis- This is some seriously fine work. My hat is off to you on how you reworked the fenders. The truck looks great . This is something I have wanted to do for years as I like Ford trucks. -
Movin'On Kenworth done.
Old Buckaroo replied to angelo7's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jan - I would not put a lot of faith into the AMT cover as that is an Artist's rendition . Angel's color comes as close to any color photographs of the real truck I have ever seen. -

Rob - Thank you JT - Great to see you stopping by and Thank you ! Mike - I am Not claiming to be an expert or building an exact replica but I sure will help you with what I have figured out on this one. Gator - the tanks were way easier then modifying kit ones. Heck of a lot less sanding and filler work. Today's little project - Rear cab mounts. Once again I used my artistic license to manufacture these. The pads even pivot Thanks for looking in
