This RoG W-reissue kit I built quite fast in the Summer of 2011. No particular thought out plan, just building for the fun of it. The murals with the dragonslayers, semi-clad figures and mythological beasts didn't appeal to me much, so I went for a small-time company truck. The vanity plate says KW and comes from Modeltruckin.com.

RoG has gotten it right in this kit; nice to build, everything fits like it should and you get a nice and accurate truck in the end.

Gripe-mode on. This kit, it should have come with the Varashield roof spoiler that is in RoG's Pete 359 kit. The Varashield was originaly a KW item, which found its way to Peterbilt through the parent company PACCAR. Gripe-mode off.

Some outside pics with an AMT flatbed. The W9 doesn't have a headache rack, it's hooked up to the trailer just for looks.

If you bought it, a truck brought it

If I remember correctly, I finished up on this build very near the date that the Seal Team made Osama pay up his last debts, so I figured a little 'patriotic touch' would be in place.

You did a nice job. I agree with you that the VaraShield should be in this kit, too. Looks good with the trailer.
