Smokey and the Bandit Kenworth

Good job Angel...but you forgot to paint the grille KW "bug" emblem gold as it was on the main truck in the movie, yours is the usual red. 

The  Revell/Monogram snap trucks are not bad but the things I like the least are the wheels, the rear ones are much too shallow and the tires...well they are not to my liking, fortunately there are much nicer replacements on the aftermarket.

Thank you Hakan.  The decal set came with two gold emblems.  I had a hard time deciding between the two but since it didn't come out as an authentically replica of the Snowman truck I decided for the red one.  I might still switch to the gold one.

The tires on this kits are a little bad.

Yes I got that decal set...but the earlier ALPS printed set with real gold and there are two gold bug grille emblems there.
As I have mentioned earlier, 1973 was Kenworth's 50th anniversary and all trucks from that model year had gold bug grille emblems to recongize that instead of the regular red, and the main truck in the movie was a 1973.

Good work!
