discussion Pete's Monogram Kenworth 1\16 (factory fresh)

[peterairfix]

I am call time on this one a oob build as it would look straight out of the factory not a bit of weathering to be seen.


Paints used were hycote red undercoat and humbrol gloss red from a rattle can and humbrol 191 chrome from a rattle can.


I hope you like it.


And as usual comment's welcome

Its impossible to get one in this scale and scratch building one i wouldn't know where to start

Don't they do rc trucks in this scale, I would imagine you could get one of those.

51 cm (20") is truely huge. Very impressive.

Such a beautiful tractor deserves a trailer. They are available but rare:

Almost all of the similar size R/C trucks I've seen are 1/14 scale. A typical 40 foot box trailer would be 30 inches long in 1/16 scale and just over 34 inches long in 1/14 scale. That's a big difference .......
