Oldmopars Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) One more item. Any interest in these? Thinking 1:24, 1:16, maybe 1/8 if needed. 1:25 vs. 1:25 at this size would be too close to worry about. They are 3/4 and 5/8in bolts and flanged nuts. Target would be for trucks mostly. Non-flanged nuts can be done, 1in also? What about doing truck air brake valves? Let me know what valves you would like to see. We may be able to do these up in a "Truck Detail Kit" that would have bolts, nuts and valves. Just looking to see if there is any interest.

I need to print one more and maybe tweak a few things, but it should be as close as you can get to the original. A few of the smaller details will need to be enlarged a bit, as they print so small, the detail is there, but you need a magnifier to see it. I am thinking of scaling a few things up, so that there is a detail large enough to paint. It looks really good and I'm looking forward to be able to get this dash so keep us updated on when it will be available to get...because I will get several for my K100 Aerodyne kits. I'm really glad I was able to convince you to do it because this has been missing from the market since forever it seems like. 15 hours ago, Oldmopars said: One more item. Any interest in these?

Nuts and bolts are allways welcome to be able to detail our kits, so I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lots of pictures on the Aerodyne dash, how many do you want? What's wrong with the kit dashes, well beginning in 1976 with the K100 VIT 200 Bicentennial Edition trucks got what they used what was later called the Aerodyne Cab for the first time, at the same time these VIT 200 Bicentennial K100 trucks got a different dash from the regular flat top K100's, and all K100 Aerodynes after that has that dash, some time later up to the K100E all K100's including the flat top cabs got that same dash. Here is a couple of pictures to show the differences. First the regular K100 flat top dash wich is in all available K100 kits including the Aerodyne and it's wrong for the Aerodyne. And here is how a correct Aerodyne dash should look. Vents Right side gauge cluster Left side gauge cluster Panel with switches Here is the control panel for the sleeper. Well here you go Aerodyne Dash listed on my website 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, it's not like I'm waiting on them for a build I'm currently doing so I don't need them right away, as long as I get them in reasonable time I'm fine with that.

So finally we can build correct K100 Aerodyne interiors with this dash...I have waited a long time for someone to do these as they have allways been wrong in the kits, and when the opportunity came up in this thread I did not hesitate to help Scott out with references and input so it would be done. I don't know how to use a CAD program myself otherwise I would have done a 3D file for these dashes a long time ago together with a lot of other parts I would like to have. So a big thank you goes out to both Scott and Charles for their work and for making this possible. Edited June 4, 2023 by Force 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Here is one thing that would be nice to have 3D printed. The marker lights mounted above the headlight "boxes" on the front fenders on Kenworth W900A's, 1 are mounted from the factory but some use 2 or 3 of these. I have not seen any available on the market for model trucks. Another thing is the bullet lights for the cabs also called torpedo lights, the old school light lenses are longer, more pointed and had a blunt nose and not a rounded nose as most of the lights in the kits are. In this case only the lenses are needed as you can use the cab light base from the kits as they may be different. Maybe printed in clear amber, same for the fender light above as the base can be painted chrome silver. These look pretty much like the lights in the kits for comparence, and they are quite different. Edited June 6, 2023 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for them and wish them well. In their absence, is there any interest in some 3D printed parts like tool boxes or fuel tanks? This is just one example of the kinds of things I can do if there is interest. These would be sold by a printer, (printed parts)not me. BTW, this is my design taken from a tool box being sold in 1:1. Hey Scott, this is another thing for you. I don't know if you have seen it allready but these are things I haven't see on the aftermarket.
