Petetrucker07 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Looks great man. I wish I had space, and money, more space than the other, to build 1/16 scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B Posted May 26, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted May 28, 2015 Share 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.
