Good news. Thanks for the heads up. Glad to see the KFS kits making a comeback under new ownership. I imagine the ST Supply/Auslowe partnership will be a good thing. 

This is very good news ,I have been waiting for this one for years !!

I’d be tempted to make a Western Star out of it. Nothing against White, but I think when Western Star used the cab they made a nicer-looking cabover. Not the easiest conversion, but not the hardest.

I agree. The hardest part, I think would be making the windshield smaller. Didn’t the unibody Road Boss use the same cab too?

Yes I sure would like to do a Western Star something like this !

I’m not familiar off hand with the unibody, but that sounds interesting. Fill us in if you have more information. But yes, the windshield would be the biggest issue, raising the bottom edge up flush with the side windows.

I have to go back and check, but I think I remember someone saying that there may have been a production year or two that the windshield wasn’t different, staying the same as the White, but I could be wrong.

The windshield on the Western star are more rectangle and the one on the white have rounded corners .

Unibody wasn’t the best choice of terms, but it is integral sleeper Road Boss 2. I’m pretty sure that it is the same cab.

Oh that’s it. I thought that might be what you mentioned. What an odd contraption. I guess it gives you a roomy cab. It looks strange, but in the same token, the modern wide-cab aero conventionals are not far removed from such a concept.

Ok guy's I just got my kit in yesterday ,and had a look inside the box . The casting is very good no pin hole very little flash ,the one place where this kit differs from the KFS kit is there is only one cast metal part)s the roof lights are the only metal parts Auslowe casted all the metal parts in resin now which is ok with me , well worth buying .

My thoughts exactly. The Western Star is a better looking Cabover, a little tougher looking, for sure. I could not bring myself to cut up the KFS kit I had, so I used it for measurements.

The Road Boss 2 Integral is the same cab, just about a foot narrower. Here are some pics of the scratch builds based on the White High cab.image.thumb.jpeg.1dcc7ed85b9383a6e1aa67a0ce0b1999.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.57dd8da44b2cfa12a7bbcc1131aa0220.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.50961a594343ef6221354066804c754a.jpegimage.thumb.jpg.fc75edb5e24d1b4eb738d57851b8dbc4.jpgimage.thumb.jpg.5346e528d8084a4ba6634d536c9f1f2c.jpgimage.thumb.jpg.c38c4aa7e28a55a6497e1c3412935f35.jpgRB_2_hood_1.thumb.png.3b3236da24f4d7a2b0b6d22e47be7f90.png
