Hmann68 Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Hi, here's the Watkins kit that I built a few years ago for a friend who found both the tractor and trailer kits in his parents basement, in the boxes and unbuilt. I took a few liberties such as painting the tanks and adding some gold striping to break up all that red and white. Tamiya paint mostly and lots of BMF. I remember it being a difficult kit but worth the time. Thanks for looking!
towman1271 Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 definitely a difficult one to build, but you did a great job.. Great details & paint!
DrKerry Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 B E A Utiful!!!!!!!!!!!!! That looks oh so nice!!!!!!!!!
disabled modeler Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Very nice work.....I always had a soft spot for this kit and trailer set up.
extmcdriver Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 I have always loved the "Watkins KW", great job, love what you have done here!!!
Jim Whalen Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Nice job on the Kenworth Watkins rig. One of my favourite kits and have built a few but never in these colours - something I intend to put right. I like what you've done with the fuel tanks.

I remember the tanks looking poor after joining them together, so I filled the seams and my buddy asked for them to be painted with chrome rings. They look ok!
tbill Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I thought I had replied to this thread, beautiful build! I have the original kits myself and hope to get around to building this set someday.
iamsuperdan Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Nice job! That rear suspension was a serious pain. I had take a breather from that kit after getting the chassis together. It annoyed me that much
SpreadAxle Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Outstanding. I really like this build. The red fuel tanks really look sharp.
