Kenworth 925 Narrow Nose 1/25

[truckabilly]

Been a while since I posted anything here. I hope I don´t mess up anything.

I started to work on KW Narrow Nose model in 1/25 scale. It´s a limited series of 20 kits I believe. Got one of them. The kit contains a complete model of the truck. No donnor kit is needed. There are PE parts in the box as well as resin and 3D printed parts. Plus a clear sheet for windows, vinyl hoses, painted PE dash board and water slide decals.

So far I cemented the parts into sub-assemlies that I will paint later.

 

Thanks for looking

Never seen this kit before, interested in the build.

Like Gary, I've never heard of this.  Sounds like a very rare kit, and it sure is detailed.  Very nice progress so far!

Oh yeah ! Correct brake chambers and a WIG WAG!!! That is so cool and an often overlooked detail. I always wanted one of these kits but never got the opportunity. I will be watching this beauty come together. Exciting

Nice to see that some had started the NeedleNose from Strato Models. I hope that I can see the finished model in Jabekke. May be mine will be finished then as well.

Exactly. Bill’s Kenworth has one and I owned a 1968 C-114 Diamond Reo that also had it.

Me too the wig wag was a good piece of kit. Its a Canadian military expression ‘piece of kit’. We used to say that about our gear, be it personal gear or equipment ….Sorry,…days of old kick in sometimes. I was talking 1:1 too

It is an old school low air warning device. An air valve mounted in the cab above the windshield with an arm and a paddle. Something like a at spoon. If there is low air the ‘spoon’ will drop down in front of the driver ( wagging back and forth ….. hence wig wag) warning of low air and to pull over asap and get it checked and repaired. Today here in Canada we are mandated with TWO low air warnings, a light on the dash, and an audible warning as well. Wig wags are out dated by todays standards and mandates. I always thought they worked well. Mechanical rather than electrical.
