[Swamp Dog]

thats gonna look goog when finished...

[kilrathy10]

Have fun with this one, Man....White with Metallic Blue, huh....Sounds good...

[redneckrodder]

Thanks guys i think i might either put the amt flatbed painted to match or a stepdeck flatbed behind this beast

[Q tip]

not sure what caught my eye first, the kw or the peterbilt double bunk in the back ground,either way have fun!

[redneckrodder]

Haha that pete cabs pretty heavy i have to get some new rear axles for the kw so i think i'll get a snap w900 for that and maybe put the pete on that frame using the stock cat that comes in the kit anf paint it white and a mettalic purple or pink and name it the love machine and use up all that sleeper space with a king size bed or something custom 70's van style

[redneckrodder]

added some walmart flat white to the cab today

[redneckrodder]

what it sorta should look like (borrowed from facebook)

[olsbooks]

Gonna be sharp! Are you going to put in a big side window like on the photo you snagged?

[redneckrodder]

Nope no big window on the side maybe a smaller one in back but we'll see how that goes

[redneckrodder]

Still workin on her my neck of the woods just aint had paint weather lately

[redneckrodder]

the interior lighting that might go in I still cant decide whether to put in a blue light or not

[redneckrodder]

its all hand painted stripes metallic blue and gold

[redneckrodder]

another one blue isn't that bright but indoors cell phone pics don't let the color show up that well

[redneckrodder]

does anyone the rear axle parts numbers for the snap w9oo I think my only option right now is to order them the bag suspension is similar between the 2 kits right

thanks

[redneckrodder]

[redneckrodder]

the big Kenny hooked up to redneck salvage still waitin for revell to send m my replacement rear end lost the top bunk but its in my room somewhere

[redneckrodder]

The pete got cut down to a daycab the thing was thick not a very good casting

[redneckrodder]

I think that this truck is probably my guinea pig because I've triedso many new things on it I made pvc fuel tanks for it and tried a little weathering and even foiled the bumper and fuel tanks i'll post the pics when I can they wont upload to facebook right now

[redneckrodder]

Can someone please measure an amt k123 cab for me because the beast needs a new frame also what kind of rear suspension does the k123 have.

Thanks -redneck

[clayton]

There the same idea,8bag air ride. Not know on scale maybe the same or just a tad off.

[Force]

The AMT KW K-123 has a Hendrickson Walking Beam suspension, same as the AMT KW W-925 (wich in fact is a 923, a 925 had torsion bar suspension and the AMT W-925 kit had that in the beginning but was later changed to a Walking Beam).
​Otherwise the scale is the same but the cab for the K-123 is a bit shorter than the K-100 Aerodyne cabs, most of the K-100 Aerodyne cabs were built on the V.I.T. cab and are equivalent to 108 inches on a real truck and the K-123 cab is equivalent to 86 inches...so the AMT K-123 cab is 22 scale inches shorter than the AMT and Revell K-100 Aerodyne...and that'll be around 22 millimeters in 1:25 scale (about 7/8").

Oh ok thanks i think im just gonna pack it away for right now untill i get a frame and can find a new cab to put the top on because this cab is kinda done for maybe one of these days i'll get it all done up the top should go right on the rog flat top k100 right ?

[Force]

Yes, the Aerodyne top fits on the flat top Revell AG K-100 as it's also a 108 inch cab...but both are kind of hard to find for decent money right now as it was sometime since they were out last.

[redneckrodder]

Im just gonna put it away for right now prices on these kits are too redicoulous right now 200 bucks is outragous
