BlackDragon Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 The next one was the Kenworth Alaskan Hauler from Matchbox/AMT. I used wheels from a.i.t.m. and the mirror support is scratchbuilt. Backlights and indicator lights are from CTM (czechtruckmodel). Thanks for looking. Michael
10thumbs Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 What a great model truck. I love the satin finish on such a work truck, it just looks right. The color combination too.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 This may very well be the best Alaskan Hauler model that I have ever seen!! Excellent work!!!
Old Buckaroo Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 I have to also say this is one of the best Alaskan Haulers. The AITM tires and wheels look perfect on it. I have been gathering bits and pieces of this kit myself to attempt to build one someday. Yours has definitely put that want into high gear.
OlSchoolRedo Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 This old kw looks tougher than a work boot sandwich, nice job on this one.
towman1271 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Love the 2 hole buds on this.. gives it a tougher hard working look
Superpeterbilt Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Man, this truck looks killer with the wheel upgrade. Ive always thought that was a weak point with this kit. Excellent work! As the other said, this may be the best one Ive seen.
gino Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I agree on the wheels ! I always passed on this kit back in the day but now I want one !
Jim B Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Nicely done. Only thing it needs is a drop-deck trailer. Edited February 13, 2016 by Jim B
Tesla Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 You nailed it with the wheels! Very nice build.
BlackDragon Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Thanks very much to all for your friendly comments.
kilrathy10 Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Nice looking rig, Man....Very nice detail....So clean and tidy....Those wheels and tires really make this one look great.....
BlackDragon Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 Thank you very much for your comments.
gatorincebu Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Michael, That is one really fine looking example of the Alaska hauler. And I whole heartedly agree with everyone elses comments on the satin paint job,your wheel and tires choice is spot on. Be Well Gator
