Chuck Most Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Finished my first Peterbilt earlier this year (or was it last year...?), and I wanted it to have a Paccar sister on the shelf. So, here's my first finished KW. This started out with a Revell snap kit, and a few choice bits from a glue-bomb AMT Watkins KW. The idea here was an early '70's tractor that was upgraded with a Cummins NTC 475 and a newer 8-bag air ride sometime in the '90's. At that time, it was also treated to a fresh coat of Chrysler Intense Blue Pearl and some white stripes. Well, it ain't sometime in the '90's anymore and she's starting to look like she needs another trip to the spa...
towman1271 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 That came out nice.. I like the subtle wear in the paint!
Petetrucker07 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Great transformation of the snapper. Nice job Chuck.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Very nice work! I like a story behind a build!
Old Buckaroo Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 I like the subtle wear in the paint and the spokers on the rear - Real tough looking truck !
Brinx Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Hey Chuck, another great example of a hard working rig that's no where near retirement.

Dirt Demon Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 good looking KW Chuck.......My dad used to drive a day cab version just like that hauling tankers with aviation fuel.
gatorincebu Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Now that is cool! You really nailed the look of a truck that is in dire need of a trip to the Spa! lol Be Well Gator

Superpeterbilt Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Very cool rig Chuck. I really cant tell that it was a snap kit. The motor swap is cool, as are the spoke rears.
