Welcome to truck modeling! Engine color is a "hot topic" of debate within the community. So, here goes. Out of the box, this Kenworth W900 is about a 1972-82 (give or take a little). If your truck will be a 1972 to about 1978 truck, the engine should be white. After that, it should be New Caterpiller Yellow.

That AM General tractor is available as a 1/35 resin kit. Costs about 100.00 though. It's a really incredibly detailed kit! I have the tri axle flatbed that goes with it.

Almost thought you were my dad there for a second. Lol. He has been out of the loop about that long. Do you have your old kits? My dad had about 250 of them in every style but lost most of them in a storm a few years back. He has about 50-75 left in boxes. Still trying to get him to start putting them back together. Been in storage since 86 when my sister was born. I am ND Army NG deployed in Kosovo at the moment. 21T.
