towman1271 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Started with a mess of a Movin on Kenworth.. Although not exactly accurate it came out nice! Decals from Jerry at Modeltruckin. Torsion bars from P &P. Tractor done & now time to start on redoing the trailer in the final picture! Will post some better outside pictures if the rain here in Pa ever stops!

angelo7 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Awesome job Dave!! One of my favorite trucks. I just finished one like yours and I'm currently working the Bandit Trans Am. It's amazing to me how you guys can rework a kit that was put together years ago. Looks great.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 It is hard to believe that is the same truck! You did an excellent job! Short the lever locks, it looks just like the Snowman truck to me! Very Impressive!!!

It's amazing to me how you guys can rework a kit that was put together years ago. Looks great. I also have the trans am finished all but the decals, which just fell apart due too age. Your kenworth looked amazing, converting the aero to look that good was unbelievable. This was my first stab at a rebuild. It wasn't really bad, just a lot of time cleaning up he mess. But thanks for your comments!
towman1271 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Posted October 4, 2015 Thanks to everyones nice comments and feel free to point out any flaws..Mark (skummy) sent me an appreciated PM to point out that the I didn't catch the tanks came with the fillers mounted upside down. Thanks again everyone!

towman1271 Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 New update..Work has begun on the trailer! Tore it down to repaint it..Need to change the landing gear, build a spare tire rack & contact Jerry & order the decals!
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Wow. Great save. That A&P logo did bring back memories though.
towman1271 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Thanks to everyone for the great comments...I does seem like forever since the A&P logos have been gone!
Plastheniker Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Considering what you started with this is a real achievement. Attractive paint scheme!
