Re: KW T908
I have to agree with those who commented on the paint scheme! I like it too. Very sharp, and a good choice of colors. Looking forward to seeing it all done.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Great pictures Reg! Very realistic looking. It looks like you had some great weather to enjoy. I don't even see any snow. How is that possible, with you being in Canada?

Re: Rckcrwlr's Repurposed "Desert Hauler"
Did you ordered the correct rear axle? RC Channel makes a set for the semi trucks. It looks like you bought one for the scale 4x4 pickup trucks. That might be why it's so much wider.
