On my ever growing quest to build all the trucks from my local junkyard, (I have like 30 to go, so close to this goal!) I need to build #15, a Kenworth W900 with a Holmes 750 and Underreach. Started with a Revell USA W900 and cut the sleeper off, then lengthened the frame.

This Is the first mockup Sleeper sourced from the AMT Kenworth, the bed is scratch built and the, I guess base of the Wrecker is 3D printed, designed by myself.

I then Painted the front half of the truck because I wanted too, I don't have good reason besides I wanted it to have some color.

Currently siting like this, I need to finish the 750, and an underreach, paint it all, then letter it

 

 

Here's a picture of the real truck.image.jpeg.29c243461d8c9bfa281eb068fc9518e0.jpeg

That's all for now, Thanks for looking!

Here's some more progress, got somewhat of a wheel lift made, with zero holding power. I figure imma just mount it up and not use it. Sorta working on finishing up the 12 things I didn't finish before I start another lol

Great subject to build, it's going to look impressive. The Holmes wrecker will look the part. Shame AMT didn't do a Holmes on their Peterbilt 359 chassis.
