1980 Kenworth W900A

This is my first post. My version of the Revell Kenworth dump truck. I built it on my dining room table and painted most of it in my garage. For what it's worth, I'm 69 years old.

Welcome aboard! Nice build. I like the paint choices and detail trim. I hope to see more in the future.

Thanks for that welcome and kind words. First build in a long time. Since 08'. Here is my version of the original issue Revell Honest John missile transporter in 1:48 scale. Built circ. 2000.

Hood down. The kit I used to build this model was purchased at Old Model Kits. Com. A great resource.

Looks great!

That turned out excellently ! Love the extra details. Very clean and precise. I will have to refer to this when I build mine. Great job

[Jay Lankford]

Kind words indeed, from a builder of your caliber. Not having built a model in almost twenty years, photo etching and 3D printing didn't exist. Anything seems possible now, and having perused some of your work and others, mine seems "novice".

Great looking Kenworth.  Very well done.

[Jay Lankford]

Thanks Jim B. First build in a really long time. Looking to get back into it before I'm ashes.

Great entrance for your first post - looks amazing!  Great to see the little details, when zooming in, like the frame decals, and filters, and all the detail in your headache rack.  Well done! 

[Jay Lankford]

Thanks so much. I never build a stock kit. And I never start a build with a preconceived notion or idea in mind. I just get started and see what happens. This being a prime example. Again, first build since 08' but looking to get back at it.

Very nice build , i really like the colors!!👍🙂

[Jay Lankford]

Chris, Kanada and Grod,

Thanks for looking and commenting. The colors seem to have caught your eye. I had the turquoise from long ago, but had to come up with something to go with it. I found some cans of Testor's Competition Orange at Hobbylobby, thought about it for a minute, and voila! Not sure what I'll do if I build another, but sure happy with this one.
