monkeyclaw Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 (edited) Hey guys; here's my 1st post surgery project; it's an exhood for the 1/16 pete kit...it is 8" longer than what's in the kit, I am doing both stock and custom fenders for it....more stuff coming soon; trying to get this new hand working again..........matt Edited November 29, 2009 by monkeyclaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Matt, Very interesting! I need an extended hood for my mid 70s Pete (The V12 Detroit will be installed in this one) that I have on the drawing board and was going to build my own. But if you have mastered one then I'll take a couple from you straight away. I have also thought about building a small window 359 with an extended hood. Probably a question for Tim. Do you know if the extended hood for the little window was the same as the extended hood for the big window 359? Now building a 1/16 Little window cab that would be a challenge! Good Luck with your recovery Best Wishes Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyclaw Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Dave; Thanks; The work is going slower than before; but I was prepared for that.....hey; if you do the detroit 12; then I don't have to LOL... As for the little window; if memory serves, the old amt kit cabs were the same size; only the height was different, and of course the smaller windows....I'll have to look.... I am also setting up small (36") bunk kits for both pete and Kw 1/16 kits; which will allow builders a couple more options over just the base kits.... as soon as these are done (next month) ; I will be starting on a KW "AERO" cab, and W900L bonnet, so that we will have at least ONE modern truck option in 1/16 scale....at this point it looks like ther W900L bonnet will also morph into T-908 form for the Aussie market as well. Modelers can also look forward to a couple more engine and wheel and tire options in 2010 as well.................matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Nice, Matt. Too bad I don't do 1/16. Should be popular with the Australians as they seem to do a lot of 1/16. Didn't you do a 1/25 KW "Aerocab" & W900L hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caboverpeteman Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi guys I am new to the forum thing but I am wondering about where to find any aftermarket parts for the 1/16 peterbilt and kenworth kits. I am just getting back into the model building and I have a large stash of the large kits and extra stock parts. If you could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it Thanks Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the red KW kit and I was looking to chop the sleeper into the single bunk. If you do that, I'll definately buy one. As for engines, which ones you planning on doing?

falcongeorge Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Anyone know of a source for 1/16 six-spoke wheels, and some more aggressive drive tires? I have a KW I would like to convert to a logger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
