BRBO 2022 Kenworth W900 EZ Build

[Sam I Am]

Received this from a member sometime last year. It will be built oob. The very first big rig I built was the Peterbilt version,  so this will make a nice addition. Color scheme is yet to come. 

I am missing the steering wheel if someone happens to have one.

hello   my name is william        i have a stear whell for the revell  w900 kenworth  i could send you it   from william

[Sam I Am]

Thanks William.  I am going to look through things one last time before giving up completely. 

I had forgotten just how easy these kits are. I may want to build more of them. ?

Chassis is all painted and up on all ten.  only thing slowing this build down is waiting for paint to dry. Everyone needs to do a low stress build once in awhile. Very refreshing.

Good start Sam ! Sometimes ya need a relaxing build to keep things fun. I've been working on an oob 1/35 build..tiny parts but fall together 

[doorsovdoon]

Looking good. You're right, these are stress free builds. I did the Peterbilt version not long ago and it fell together.

[James Maynard]

Looking great.

[Sam I Am]

Thanks for the comments guys.  I have been super busy for awhile now but managed to find the bench for a few minutes anyway. Interior finished up and the cab mounted.

I have one of these in the stash. Good to hear they go together easily.

Very nice build

Looking good Sam!

[Force]

Nice.
But the rear wheels are not mounted correctly, the outermost lip on the rims are supposed to be inside the tire like the picture below.

 Thank you for pointing that out Force, really appreciated it.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. 

I know that most people get this model for the engine and wheels, but if you stripped all the chrome, took care of all the seams, did some filling here and there, it would make a great display piece. 

Worked on it some tonight.  I have a few things to paint, wash the grill, touch up the chrome, and decals....I think that is it.

[gotnitro?]

nice progress Sam!  

[Bills72sj]

Yes, Nice progress. I also agree with a low stress build once in awhile. I did a 71 Mustang diecast kit after being in a slump for awhile.

[Sam I Am]

Thanks for the comments you two. 

Decals are next. I need to order a fine point molotow pen to touch up all the chrome, but I have eight months to get that done. ? 

[Sam I Am]

Well,  so much for a stress free build. The hood would not close all the way, even with relieving everything I could find, so I glued it shut. Then I found out that the decals were super thin and very aggressive.  So...it will be touched up later and relegated to the back of the display cabinet.  

Funny thing,  the crackerbox that I built last year took much more work to build, and lots of thought process,  and turned out awesome (imho). This one I am disappointed in.

[Dutzie]

Great looking build! These are great slump busters and turn out to be nice looking kits.
