Hermann Kersten Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 Great build with a lot of beautiful details. And yeah, it is interesting to put the 2 builds in 1 topic, I did this before with 2 Actros trucks, it saved me also time, and could I use this for building time. For us, it is interesting to see the differences and similarities between these 2 builds. Hermann
CRUSADER2 Posted November 11, 2020 Author Posted November 11, 2020 Thanks JT we are keeping safe, luckily we live out of town so touch wood! Cheers for the comments Brian, Hermann and Bill, the K123 is almost finished, I was going to post some photo's but I cannot finish it completely as I ruined the grill by removing the chrome, I sprayed it with a chrome paint but then found that I could not paint the black in without messing up the chrome, only option now is to obtain an etched grill, I might still post some photo's but not of the front though, I finally got round to finishing the air intake caps on the K123 so that just leaves a little light weathering to do plus the grill. Happy modeling guys
CRUSADER2 Posted November 28, 2020 Author Posted November 28, 2020 Finally got round to taking some photo's today, so I can do a little update of progress so far, the K123 is almost there apart from the grill and some weathering, the Aerodyne is coming along slowly and might be difficult to complete without another kit as I nicked some bits off it to finish the K123. There is still more detailing to do on the chassis and the cab interior, and as usual the air intakes and exhaust stack's are not fixed yet, (last job) the fifth wheel and frame are also still to finish but I am getting there bit by bit.
CRUSADER2 Posted December 9, 2020 Author Posted December 9, 2020 Thanks Haken, thanks again for posting those photo's they were a big help, though I did use some other reference video's as well which as a result ended up with a bit of a mish mash of different dashboard/cab interior's probably spanning 15 to 20 years of production, I am still working on the Aerodyne cab interior and finding things that I have missed but it is getting there. I wasn't going to post anymore photo's of the K123 until it was finished but it could be weeks or month's before I finally complete it as I need a new grill after ruining the kit one, so here are a few photo's of the nearly finished K123 in the mean time. 1
Chariots of Fire Posted December 9, 2020 Posted December 9, 2020 That's nice work! Excellent craftsmanship.
gatorincebu Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 Some really nice detailing on that chassis ! And I like the KW you finished. Top shelf in my opinion ! Be Well Gator
