williamchevelleman1972 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Thanks! I decided to add some decals to the motor and other parts of the truck. I hope yall like it! ">http:// ">http:// ">http://http://s1245.photobucket.com/user/williamchevelleman1972/media/m%20003_zpsfe3opvty.jpg.html'>
kilrathy10 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Man, this is a good model....I can't wait to see this done.....The decals look good....Another nice touch of realism....
Petetrucker07 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Looks great man. I wish I had space, and money, more space than the other, to build 1/16 scale.
Old Albion Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Very Impressive so far. That engine looks great, looks like an NTC400 Big Cam 4.

kilrathy10 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) I'm telling you....This is a beautiful dump truck going together.....Just beautiful....I don't know how you're going to keep from playing with it after you've built it...... Edited May 24, 2015 by kilrathy10

Kenny B Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 William, She sure is coming along nicely. I was a little surprised to see that the KW wasn't a long nose. I thought that they all were in 1/16 scale. Both of the 1/16 scale KW's I have are. Ken.

Kenny B Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 I cut the hood and made it a short nose Well that would explain it. I thought I was missing out on a new 1/16 KW. Looks good. Ken.

gatorincebu Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I could've sworn I commented on this build. Great looking dump body. I like the working tarp. However there is just one thing that you might want to consider. You might want to make a spring to pull the tarp back over the loaded body. Be Well Gator
