Hi my name is Kevin and I just joined a few days ago after finding this group. I am currently building and kit-bashing a 1/16 W900 Kenworth into a logging truck. I have extended the frame rails, modified the cab and hood, and build the cab gaurd out of brass. The bunks will be machine milled and then cast into resin pieces. First few pictures are of the truck I am modeling after and the other pics are of the build so far. Any and all feedback welcome.
Almost completed brass cab gaurd the mounting is temp, I have to extend and add a step that is in the center next to the axe (as seen in the above picture). Then add light brackets on either side.
Rear frame extended, an RC 1/16 scale Pintle Hitch installed and safety chains.
Since the fuel tanks on the real truck are positioned differant from the kit that means the air tanks are mounted seperately and in a differant location other than the kit. Here is the remounted the air tanks.
Here I added a Cummins NTC 400 from Ken's Customs instead of the kit Cat 3408
