Tractor Trailer from "Maximum Overdrive" - Help?

[Drake69]

I have seen someone on FB doing wonders with building a truck to match the "Happy Toyz" gremlin semi truck and want to build one myself.

1: What truck IS this? (I'm thinking Kenworth)

2: What is the closest model truck in 1:24 or 1:25 scale that is out there that comes close to it?

3: Is he sourcing the decals out on the web for the trailer and then printing them off?

4: It looks like I can use a "head" from a 12" Green Goblin toy from the "Spiderman" movie line as the gremlin face. Think it's possible?

I don't know if he's on here but I want to make up that truck as best I can.

The movie truck is a White Western Star. This kit can be found easily. You will need to swap out the kit sleeper with a KW sleeper. I believe the movie truck had 2hole bud wheels which are available in resin. I cant help on the face. Ive seen arguments on IMCDB about what kind of truck this is. Its a Western Star and you can take that to the bank!!

There's a member here working on a Green Goblin head- he plans on casting it once it's done. But, I haven't seen any updates on that one in quite a while.

Use the AMT White Western Star kit, it has the correct hood and headlights. You will need the twin air cleaner setup from the Kenworth snap kit and you can also use the front wheels and bumper from it too. The sleeper is a 36" piece that you can get from the snap Peterbilt or you can find loose ones on ebay from old AMT kits.

Don't forget the Detroit! Was it a 71 or 92? I think it was a 8v92 but I can't remember.
