Looking really good! The steps are very nice. Off the same kit that my new Cat engine came from?

I like the blue. It's a good color. I remember you thought about doing a faded paint scheme. Still headed that way?

I wonder why you took out the 3rd axle,LOL

Thanks for the comments from all of you!

The paint is sonic blue pearl,and your right Nathan....the steps are from
the 1/16 monogram kit.

As of right now

,I still plan on doing the worn out,faded paint,
lots of chrome... trucker on a budget look!

I like this build a lot, keep it up. The colored frame adds to the realism of the kw, weather its that blue or the red it used to be. Nice job.

I had a little more time,so I laid down some more paint.
Now I need to wet sand,add the gold and white and clear coat.
This is the nerve racking part

That truck is beautiful! I know your building a daycab, but with the cattle trailer I think a Wedico 60" sleeper would really look nice on the truck. Very sweet truck you have there.

WHOA!! That is looking good there Troy!! Keep up the awesome job.

Troy she is lookin sweet... keep going on it at this caliber and they might have to change ya from wannabe under your avatar..

The frame length is perfect on her as well...(Yes I do like frames under a 400" wheel base) Good Job my friend.

nice job, i love the color.. but blue is my favorite color to begin with..

sneaky-pete · #18 08-27-2011, 10:58 PM

Hey guy's,I have a few progress pics!
I still have to put chrome rings on the air cleaners,add emblems,and several
other things.I hope to be done this weekend.

I goofed up big time.....I forgot about using the Kenworth door handles

I didn't realize what I did until I got out the sprue from the kit.
Oh well it's to late know.
I also changed my mind on the paint scheme,and went with the reinier not the seminole.

Trying to tape off the seminole was getting me pissed,so I took the easy way out.

AZLIGHTNING · #19 08-27-2011, 11:46 PM
