JerseeJerry55 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Started my KW K123 today. Frame work today. As always a concern that the frame will go together unevenly. However I think this time it’s pretty level. As always I will look for reference pics online.

JerseeJerry55 Posted January 19, 2021 Author Posted January 19, 2021 More frame work done. Need to add the angled axle brackets. Also thinking about using the highback buckets from the Transtar 4300 Eagle as well.
lordorion1974 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 The high back buckets look good. I'd go with those. Nice start and I agree on the AMT trucks. I've got the Freightliner Cab-over that is giving me fits, mostly the cab and the seam line from the sleeper extension.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Looking good! The seats look good. Sometimes I use the high back seats on just the drivers side. Great work!
gotnitro? Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Those high backs look way more comfy than the kit planks !
signguy2108 Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Good start Jerry. If the frame is warped just tell people it spent part of its life as a log truck!
JerseeJerry55 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Mock up of paint scheme for cab. Never one to do striping but here goes.
JerseeJerry55 Posted March 26, 2021 Author Posted March 26, 2021 Decided to go a more Plain Jane route. Rustoleum Gloss Seaside for the cab. Looks a little Global Van Lines esqure(ish). The frame and all associated parts will be Semi gloss Black. Interior Tan/Brown. Unsure of the engine color. White or Cummins Tan.

gatorincebu Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 Nice work on the frame. Your paint combination looks god. As well as your masking job. Keep up the good work . Be Well Gator
Goodwrench3 Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Thanks for posting those frame pictures. I'm working on the same kit and I'm currently scratching my head as I look at the kit instructions. In step 3 where the frame is assembled, you have 4 cross members. If you look at the drawing of the assembled frame in step 7, it shows ** 6 ** cross members. But nowhere else prior step 7 are the two forward-most cross members shown in step 7 in the instructions before that. Plus, the location of the other 4 on the rails isn't the same in the step 7 drawing as in step 3 !
Dutzie Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 The paint looks great. Really like the color combo.
