discussion Monogram 1\16 Kenworth W-900 (factory fresh)

[peterairfix]

Time to unveil my next victim as I have done to many ships,this one is a nice looking kit not to much flash or mould seems.


So far I have done some work with the chassis and also the engine block has been almost finished and had a spray of matt sand.


And as the title says no weathering as this one will be straight out of the factory.

nice start to this one Peter, 9_9

 

[peterairfix]

Time to restart on this one.


The engine and radiator has been finished and now in the chassis the chrome on the fuel tanks has been stripped of and a less shiny chrome has been applied

Just seen this one Peter and a very nice start it is.

 

[Gern]

What's the build like Peter? I've seen one on special offer and I'm sorely tempted - but not if it's going to be a putty monster!


Ooops! It's the Peterbilt 359 I've seen, not this one. :x

No build issues so far it's just the chrome needs stripping

Nice start Peter, the chrome does look too toyish, but noticed this on just about all model chrome parts.

 

[monica]

coming along nicely,Peter,will wait to see what you do with the fuel tanks, 9_9

 

[peterairfix]

Tiny bit more done.


Just some painting on the main cab and bonnet and a few bits.

I love the "big rigs" as we call them and yours is coming along grandly Peter .......Jim

 

[peterairfix]

Time for more at last i have the wheels on i have left the chrome on these.


The inner cab is finished sadly no dash decels so it's hand painted job.


And a trail fit of the cab on the chassis

Really?! It looks perfect, very shiny. I must try it.
