KW W925 work over

[Jürgen M.]

Hi everyone ,

I'd like to share one of my oldest truck kits, a Kenworth W 925 by amt.

I built it at 14 so the quality of my work was heavily influenced by teenage impatience. I used only hand brushes for painting and didn't really know much about masking.

Still it's a memory of the past.

In 2022 I decided that I didn't like the truck in it's present make up so I partially took it apart and tried to strip off the paint without damaging the plastic. That had happened on a CJ7 kit. Made me quite sad!

Anyway, this is how the KW looked before:

I took off the sleeper and the fifth wheel.

Then all the small parts like mirrors, pipes, tanks, ...

Gave it a new paint job, new decals (from the Italeri White Western Star road train).

Then I decided that I already had so many trailerless tractors so I made a scratch car platform!

The chassis was and is everything but straight. This way you can't see it! ?

Hope you like it!
