Kenworth Alaskan Hauler

Tony,

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I will be doing some weathering, although I have not decided how much. But it will look like its done some work.

Gordon,

I must appologise. I forgot to say that it was the frame rails only that I used from KFS. I used some of the KW frame stretchers and made 2. The KW frames rails and stretchers are pretty unique and a generic frame is not accurate enough. I did consider streching the kit frame, but decided that it would be better to keep the kit rails for a possible future KW project and use the KFS rails for this build instead.

That´s a badass truck and awesome work on the build. Great details and excellent weathering. Nice to watch something like this.

Yep, that is a pretty convincing job you did there. I like the no frills, built for work and it looks like it did! Nice job! So I guess the Transtar beside it is brand new from the factory and freshly lettered...

Many Thanks for all the kind words. Its not the easiest kit to work with, the instructions and some of the parts leave a lot to be desired. But with a little perseverance the result is quite pleasing.

Thanks Again

Dave

Excellent job!....the weathering looks real

[Tony Bryan]

Dave, that is some realistic weather you have done, whole model looks great,

what is the gas bottle for?, central heating?

and you may have to fit those chains while driving on that slippery road

[cowboysevens]

very nice dave, ya done a great job on a custom built truck from back in the day. the weathering adds to the authenticity, and makes it look just a real workin truck
