AMT Kenworth COE

[bitner]

This is the first truck I've built in months. It's the original AMT KW COE with torsion bar suspension. I added rear wheels from an AMT Peerless logging trailer and made the decals for it. As I look at it I might replace the chrome front wheels with 5 hole budd units. Too much chrome:) I used Testors flat red for the chassis and then gloss coated it. Tamiya British Green spray paint was used for the cab color. I uses white decal paper sprayed with white paint for the stripes. The Murphy Plywood emblems were copied off the web.

Murphy would be proud!

Nice job done!

Very nice work . . . personally I think that the chrome fronts look great with the painted tanks and quarters, if they were chrome then maybe that might border on a bit much . . . not that you asked for my opinion, lol!

Best Regards,

I agree with the 5-hole budds.

Lovely clean build bitner, the colour scherme really makes this one stand out. This has given me inspiration to get on with my second K100!

I think it looks good just like it is, nice job.

Very nice. I like chrome fronts too!

Very Nice Bill. Has a nice Western look to it. I'd keep the polished fronts.

And to think that when I open a truck kit, the first thing I usually do is trim the headlight buckets off the chrome tree, and spray the rest with oven cleaner!
