Default 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.









more to come later!

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!

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!
