truckabilly Posted January 2 Posted January 2 This is my rendition of KW Challenge mixer by AMT. I replaced the wheels by 1/24 scale front spiders and 2 hole buds for rears. The kit front spiders have sink marks near the nuts. That´s no go for me. I chose the front power take off, modified the bumper, went with a single breather and smoke stack. Inspired by a photo from Tim Ahlborn I ran the oil tubing through the fuel tank. I also replaced the dual headlights by single PE lenses. The kit dual lenses just didn´t fit the rims very well. I always add hoses and wires to my models. Tried some weathering and grime. Thanks for looking Jarda 15
trick my mixer Posted January 2 Posted January 2 nice build overall and nice job on the weathering. 1
Pete68 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Outstanding job on this just the right amount of weathering not over killed to give it a very convincing look especially the Mudflaps nice touch. As a Dump Trucker I’ve seen that many times on my truck and you nailed it. This has to be the best rendition of this mixer as per Box Art. build. Thanks for sharing. 1
RoninUtah Posted January 3 Posted January 3 This looks great! The mods are perfect, and as others have said, the weathering is just right. Very convincing looking mixer. Well done! 1
Biggu Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Absolutely perfect, she looks like she just came off a pour and is heading back to the batch plant for another 8 yard load of 25 mpa concrete with a 3” slump! Awesome build ! Perfect weathering. Beautiful build
leafsprings Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Excellent example of a hardworking mixer that's poured tons of concrete at job site after job site. Super realistic looking from every angle!
BK9300 Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Very realistic build and excellent weathering - very well done!

trick my mixer Posted January 7 Posted January 7 looks great especially the weathering. Ready to work.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Where to start? The weathering is perfect!! This thing looks Awesome!! But my favorite part is the single headlights! Excellent Work!!
JerseeJerry55 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Awesome job. Very realistic. One quick question for you. I am in the process of building the KW Alaskan Hauler kit. How did you attach the mirrors? In other words where do the mounting points attach, and what cement did you use. Based on the difficulty of the White Freightliner, and White Western Star nightmares, I don't want any flashbacks.
cifenet Posted January 28 Posted January 28 I can definitely see you have put some great effort here making this mixer this beautiful! Very convincing weathering and highly detailed! Good work! 👍
