happy grumpy Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 This was build early last year. I would build more if I had more space but I have to pick carefully. This is one of my favorite big rig trucks. One of my friend had one quite like this (not the same livery though). Build straight from the box and not being a truck guy, I had to decipher AMT instructions but in the end , it turned out ok. I only added the hoses at the back using network cable twisted pair wires. Tamiya spray lacquer pure white and pure red were used. As usual, thanks for looking and commenting. 7
TransAmMike Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Wow Mario, thats a great looking build . Very realistic in pictures?
1959scudetto Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) This is as nice as all your model cars, Mario - it would make up for a fine box art model ! As I remember from my own amt KW builds, the trickiest part is the mounting of the mirror brackets! Edited January 10, 2023 by 1959scudetto
Joe Nunes Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Really nice looking model. Well done! ? Joe
leafsprings Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Great tribute to the AMT box art! I remember back in grade school, it was always a tough choice which kit to ask for, this KW or the California Hauler.
Hmann68 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Looks great! I did this one 10 years ago and it’s not easy, so kudos to you for a good job on it ?

If I had more space I would definitely built the trailer in this livery.
