jimstixxx Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Been watchin the builds on here and decided to post one I'm working on. The Kenworth snap kit builds into a nice unit if you add your own touches to it. This one is flame red lacquer with two tone brown /tan interior. I stretched the frame about an inch. Still comin up with a stripe design for it,but thought I would get it on here. Great builds fellas,keep it up !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimstixxx Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 , thanks I love these Kenworth snap kits. Easy assembly and end result is pretty good. Still got a ways to go going to put a body-colored headache rack on the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimstixxx Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Maybe those Erb decals that came with the trailer would look good on this unit, dont know if they ran KW hoods or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I like that kit and yours is looking good...... Kit has just enough detail for a casual build. Mine in Tamiya green...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1Volsfan Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Really nice looking KW. The single stripe and the stretch on the frame with the headache rack really set this truck off. These snap KW's really are nice kits for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It was already looking good, but that stripe really makes this truck. Great Work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevjoh Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 With a little bit of work the Italeri 2 piece plastic tires are a perfect fit for the KW snap rims. Wheel spacer needs to be widened a bit. Always thought the kit tires are a bit skinny plus don't really fit the kit rims all that well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
