Rockford Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) This is a kit built in the 80s under the original release with the big stripe decals. I think it was White with an orange chassis. The current version is in blue with sticker stripes. I rounded the chassis rail corners, opened up the steps under the battery boxes, repositioned the quarter fenders and mudflaps, altered the trailer hitch to lose the silly spigot from the middle, bit of BMF here and there, then painted it metallic silver with a rattle can. Looks ok and even better hitched to the van trailer. Edited July 31, 2020 by Rockford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Great looking Fleet! I like these kits! I spent a week in the hospital as a kid and my mom bought me this kit and the cabover snap Freightliner too, and I built them in the hospital.

I would love to have the cabover Freightliner and the conventional KW Aerodyne they did. These kits used to be pennies but they're so expensive now.
