Ken Gilkeson Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 started this kit over a year ago on here before I lost interest. I finally got in the mood to finish it, so I'll be posting pics as I progress. I had the chassis and engine completed as shown. I put larger fuel tanks on it to better go with a double bunk sleeper. mud flaps will be last so I don't break them while building. chassis color is a dark metallic brown. the loose plumbing will go to the firewall. poseable steering has been done, with the interior and firewall to do next.
TheSDTrucker Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Looks great so far! I will deffinatly be following this build, great job so far!
thejunkman Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Nice start, highly detailed. This kit goes together very well overall. I used the same kit on my Kenworth W900 build seen here
cowboy rich Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 I will be watching yet another great build of yours Ken, it's looking really great so far.
Ken Gilkeson Posted January 4, 2018 Author Posted January 4, 2018 thank you all for the kind words. got the firewall done and the interior started. not going to open the doors on this build, don't have anymore piano hinges right now. the interior will be built straight out of the box. more to come as weather permits painting.
youngtiger1 Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Nice, I have the same kit to build in future. It would be nice if the reissue the trailer for it.
Ken Gilkeson Posted January 6, 2018 Author Posted January 6, 2018 interior out of the box painted tan needs clear dull coat yet.
Ken Gilkeson Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 engine bay completed, cab has been painted.
disabled modeler Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Very nice work..! I need to get a hold of one of these someday myself.
WolfmanJedd Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Awesome work! I love the colors you choose for your rigs.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Looks great!! I always like your choice in colors!
Ken Gilkeson Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 hood has been painted and installed.
Ken Gilkeson Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 emblems and sleeper details left to do.
cowboy rich Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 That's looking great as normal Ken, I like it, I need to get that kit sometime
youngtiger1 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Completely amazing build. Makes me want to pull my kit out of the storage and start building it. Btw, is that kit engine? ?
Project X Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 That is, quite stunning, i don't think i can remember seeing a better quality build of this truck on the Internet. I can only aspire to get that level of a paint job on the Peterbuilt i am building, but i am definitely up against it!
