Rockford Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Happy to say that I managed to get the stripe decals on. After the Pepsi trailer I thought they'd be a doddle but I had an issue with the lacquer delaminating when I was cutting them out. Suffered a bit of the colour bleeding but managed to make them look ok. Added my ICC numbers and some Kenworth badges I'd saved from another kit. I'm still so happy with how it turned out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Couldn't resist a bit more fitting this afternoon. Fitted the stacks and put my perforation decals on the exhaust heat shields. Fitted the air filters. Added electricians tape to the air intake pipe to form the hoses. Fitted the pogo stick and piped it up. Still a few things I've got to do but I think it's going to look pretty good. I do like being able to open the hood and see a Cummins under there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 Thanks Graham. I'm really happy with it. I'm nearly finished with it now. Did some final fitting today. Bought some 1mm aluminium mesh and cut it to lay inside the chassis rails as a treadplate. Installed the mirrors but that didn't go as smoothly as I hoped. They look ok but not as good as I'd like. Built a screenwash bottle for the firewall from five pieces of plastic sheet. I've got to sort license plates now and that's it I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
