Starting my daycab Kenworth update 12/6
 
Well I'm starting a Kenworth daycab project!
I have not decided how detailed it will be yet....so I will take it one step at a
time.
I have a 1/16 scale model that I can look at,and use some parts off of.
Well here are some starter pics....the cab will be candy green w/black,and silver graphics.....old school.

Nice work!
Looks old school with the quad round headlights... I like!

Like the air cleaners too - you make them?

Question - why the low mounted tanks/battery boxes?

The air cleaners are PMD.
I may use the air cleaners off of the 1/16 model.

I like the over all stance of lowered tanks and steps,...I am not sure
if I am going to keep them that way are not!

very nice.keep up the good work..

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 
That is lookin' killer!:) The stance of the truck and the wheelbase really set it off, especially in addition to the old school KW details you added!

Yeah those 1/16 Monogram kits come in handy for reference too...the scale difference for some of the emblems really isn't all that bad either.

Keep up the awesome work!
