dodgefever Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I stumbled upon this photo and it's got me daydreaming about trying to build it - I think it's a cool looking rig. Is there anything in resin for that old cab & hood?
ewaskew Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I do'nt know about any resin kit's It looks like it would'nt be to hard to scratch build the cab and hood
disabled modeler Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Get a hold of Porky here he makes nice stuff.
Aaronw Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 AITM hosts a gallery for Illini Replica Conversions, who has a '55 and a '59 Kenworth. The link is at the top of the page http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/news.html

Here's the link, http://www.aitruckmodels.com/ There's a link for Illini Replica Conversions on the sitr, they have two resin '50s Kenworth cab conversions. The link to IIIini Replica Conversion is not working for me, maybe you can get it to work. Doug
cowboysevens Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I got one of porky's cab and hoods and I think its around a 63' or so, its the one peice tilt hood. It is a really nice cast
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 There's already a kit of this or aprox year KW. It's 1:48 Benkins Moving. Saw one at a hobby shop a few years back.
lapazleo Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Revell made the 1/48 scale one in various versions also Ulrich makes one in 1/87 scale they were part of Walthers model railroad company. Ulrich has a web site you can google.
dodgefever Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks for the replies. I'd like to stick to 1/25, I have a hard enough time seeing what I'm doing without going to smaller scales. I'll think about the Illini resin conversion... it looks nice, but it's pricey.
