need some help

[Chad]

I am building the revell/monogram kw w900 right now, so far I have lowered the suspension ( about 4 scale inches ) and put on some 1/24 wheels and tires....and I don't really like the tires( from the italeri ford kit )....I am looking for a few things and proper ideas to update the truck...where can I order stylish pipes( pickett style elbows and at least 10" scale monster stacks ), a kw texas drop visor( aluminum ), a texas bumper( aluminum ), and possibly find a revell of germany hood? one of you guys updating/swapping out the kw hood or something if you're willing to sell that let me know, I don't have much to trade since I'm getting back into the hobby....also looking for some NON amt style tires more of a street than offroad tire for the 1/24 rims but will have a lower profile....also where am I able to get some cab extentions if they make them? the chicken light runners?

my plans are:

update the hood with the longer edition

lower the suspension

add cab/sleeper fairings at the rear

add medium size sleeper air foil( chicken wing )

lowER profile tires

stretch the frame to roughly 280-300"

aluminum( vortox style ) air cleaners( italeri pete kit-----hopefully I can find some )

resin rear dual wheel fenders...found some on porkys I think????

and mate it to a lowered amt dry van stretched to 48' with spread axle on air ride

I love chrome...lol

please help if you have any idea on where to get the hood and such I really need some help on this one guys it's a big order!!! OH and I'll post pics too lol

I think I have a Revell of Germany hood that you can have. As for the wing, check with Eric (Porky). I used his on this W900:

It's perfect for the Aerodyne sleeper. You will have to scratchbuild a bracket, though.

Thanks so much guys. Jim I messages you about the hood. I put the aerodyne on my revell hood( built truck ) and it did fit perfectly, I am going to order the bumper and visor from Ryan and the fenders from porkys.

Thanks again guys!

So I'm turning this into my build thread lol. I am currently building the snap revell kw....as of right now I have a 300" stretched wheelbase, 4" lowered suspension, 1/24th wheels and tires from italeri, mid sized chicken wing, 8" stacks, 24" texas bumper, double hump rear fenders....I opened up all of the doors and waiting to get some MCG piano hinges, redone the interior, backwall and all the doors for them to be suicide doors. I am also waiting on my new hood for it ( thanks Jim B! ) But I will be using a revell of germany t900 hood and shaving the headlights, turns and everything off the fenders( basically a jones performance hood ) and using double J headlights. I need to pick a paint scheme, build lower cab panels and a few other things before its ready for anything.....I was thinking banana yellow pearl and black for paint matched to a great dane dry van stretched to 48' with a tandem spread on air ride.....ill post pics soon...

Sounds interesting. Your hood should be there early next week.
