Kingworth T404 SAR
Hi guys n girls,
I've been looking around this awesome forum for a while now and thought I'd better contribute to it. I haven't been building very long so I'm not as good as a lot of you. There are so many great builds on here, so here goes (I hope this works) This is the truck I am replicating (hopefully). It is an ozzy Kenworth T404SAR. I drive this truck for a living. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps7zovrsyn.jpg This is what I started with. Shortened the sleeper. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps5e24nse1.jpg Cut off the hood http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psrexucmga.jpg The hood the right shape http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psyqrm4oad.jpg Sleeper roof and mouldings started http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psagaftapo.jpg A few holes filled, sleeper doors and tool boxes redone. Couldn't help myself, i had to see what it looked like with the stacks and grill on. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psoyt08afl.jpghttp://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps2rucls1r.jpghttp://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps2l54ienz.jpg |

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR
I wasn't happy with the way the sleeper doors looked, so I changed them
http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psnk5rr400.jpg Added the air intakes, sleeper steps and grab rails, also repositioned the blinkers http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psa4onwbus.jpg |

A few detailing pieces.
DG placard and decals made by me. Driving lights by RC4WD. Badges, aerials and headlights by PMD, lit up by Tamiya MFU.http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psrnnsj24b.jpg |
Re: Kingworth T404 SAR
Aluminium tanks plus tank straps by PMD, steps from the kit. I had to purchase a second set of steps to go on all 4 tanks from good ol' Ebay

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR
Hi,
great work up to now, it an absolute cool truck. But the fenders need to be modified to fit to the 404. The rear end must end at the edge of the cabine an the outer side of the fenders but be more thicker. You showed a great work handling styrene. These little changes should be a nice work in between for an evening for you... ;) |
Re: Kingworth T404 SAR
Your skills, and results are just as good as any I've seen on these boards, you've done an amazing job replicating your 1:1.

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR
Awesome replication of the real thing. Great job!!

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR
Hi Crankz80 , I think gismow is saying the front fenders are to long on your 1-1 truck the back of the fenders are in line with the front edge of the doors and on your model they are about 1-2cm behind the front egde of the doors...
Cheers Tracy |
