I think the wheelbase is just about right for a daycab tractor. If your going to put a sleeper on it you might need to add a little more length.
The hood came out really nice. Did you have any issues with the firewall?
Will this work?

Does anyone know what the model of the 1:1 White Western Star is called? Or is that what it's called?
The $80 was posted by a member on another board who has a contact a Hobbyco. Apparently Tower Hobby has them listed for $71.99.

Yes, it does appear that the manufacturers are listening. And that's a good thing.
I would think that 1/16 would lend itself to detailing quite easily due to it's size. Now we'll have something to use Monkeyclaw's engines & hoods on!
Maybe the KW will follow! And on the other end of the scale spectrum, they're also reissuing the 1/32 Peterbilt 359.
I wonder what Tim Ahlborn will be able to do with a 1/16 Peterbilt 359?
Those are nice! The W900 shouldn't be all that diffucult to kitbash. Hood & cab from GW Trucks & sleeper from the snap kit. The bell might be an issue, though.
