I forgot about the third version sold in Australia with cab from British ERF.
-
Like window said there was a later version down under that used a dutch DAF cab.
-
The ws has a smaller windshield about 2 inches shorter and the bottom panels from the bottom of the doors down are different as the cab sits higher. The grille is different too. After Volvo took over White the WS version of the cab was used as the Volvo White coe.

Kit form services Road commander 2 done up as WS coe close but not quite.

Looking good!

The Western Star cabover has been mentioned before on the forum but I found a couple more pics that just make me want to build one.
-
Yep nice model. I beleive the KW on the truck paper is a w900s or something similar. It's for the western bridge laws

Found this pic at Hanks truck pictures forum. Gonna use ROG KW aussie version for start with AMT parts. Thought this was a different looking ex hood KW. Power is a 12v71 Detroit.

I would guess Grzegorz meant C500. His English is better than mine though. Come to think of it there was KW built in Canada for oil field/logging work that resembles a w900 with square fenders not sure on model though.
-
So far so good.

Just looking at what everybody uses for putty what you like or don't like. Myself I've had good luck with Green Squadron. What's your favorite?

Just excellent!

Neat.Wonder what the Sante Fe warbonnet paint would look like on a truck.

Thanks Tim ,I didn't think I was that crazy.The sleeper is just plain wrong. AMT should have used roof from the original T500 359 kit and made new sidewalls and doors. The sleeper should be 4 inches taller than the old sleeper - the doors are the same as the older kit but with a 4 inch filler panel on the top - with a grab handle mounted to the panel. AMT really missed the mark on the roof cap on the later sleeper.
You could use the sleeper from the Revell 'snap' 359 and graft in the square doors and scribe in the filler panel and have a correct shaped sleeper.

Thanks Jim & Tim that answers my question the only other thing I always wandered about is the sleeper it just don't look right to me.

I'm trying to determine the year the kit represents and get a brief overview of the kit. I of course am refering to the 359 with the Cummins engine that's brown and white on the box art.

In fact MACK trucks introduced the "All American" cab paint scheme way back (circa) 1970, mostly with white painted frames, way before the Bi-Centenial craze of 1976. Was surely the best of them all... for trucks, very nice looking
Take a close look at MPC first edition of the MACK DM 800 (tractor & ready mix kits) artboxes of...1971
Same excellent MPC boxarts carried over in ERTL boxes, when they got the DM800 mold.
Clearly evidenced by Chuckyr's brochure post,that's obviously a pre 73 dash in that f model Mack. Of course there was a bicentinniel craze but patriotism should never be a craze.

I remember the local redi mix companies had some concrete trucks done up. I also recall Sam Tanksley trucking had a fleet of red white and blue Peterbilts. Lotsa of good ideas for projects.
