kenworth ,revell kit

Nice.  Pick the guy on the floor 

Those ARE nice. I will have to get me one of those kits...

Mark in Oregon

What scale are they?  The only ones I find are 1/25th so are these older kits?

Thanks,

Butch

on the box they says 1/54, but thats way off

they are close to 1/48

there is an other topic about this truck with more info about this kit

https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/t...yback-project?page=7

Nice Kenny Whoppers !

Wiseman model just offered log bunks for these...

looking good but for that money i prefere to build it myself

some pictures from my log bunks, all scratch.

Cor

I always lined that truck need to finish mine

I have a partially started Honest John AND original Bekins trailer I would like to sell.  $54.95 for both.  the trailer alone is worth it.

SOLD

Lee ,yes i have seen your pictures, i asked then what kinda tyres you were using

i solved it by removing the plastic on a lathe and put on tyres from norscot

the green one with norscot tyres, the yellow one with the origional plastic tyres

close up

and the wheelhubs painted

Cor

I thought I posted I got them from don mills here is my brothers honest john all metal one has any body seen or know anything about the all metal truck? He redone the cab adding detail around the windows and the molding  around the cab

never seen a metal one , no name or manufactor on a box?

maybe somebody used the kit to make a mold for white metal, and copyed the whole thing.

looks nice

Cor

He got it from eBay it was a dump truck 

Cor

any update pics yet on the kenworth? Lee

hi Lee

i was waiting for my tires

they are now arived

in the meantime i was building a small kit from birkshire

i only have to ad the mud flaps 

also added some real wood to the deck of the flat

had some time to paint some pallets

and here are the tyres, see if i have time to put them on

Cor

Everything is looking good I like that flat bed the real wood sets it off. Does Bershire still offer the dolly ? Those look like don mills tires I talked to him yesterday I made a parts order for my corgi B75 Mack I've been building on since this time last year here's some pics of it

That's a pretty truck,  that B Model.  Good to see it true to the breed with spoke wheels.

The only thing missing for our trucks are late 50's thru 1960's era Goodyear Super Hi-Miler tires in both rib treads for the steer axles  and lug treads for drive axles.   

Those tires would be nice thanks I hope to finish it soon and post it 

Where can I find one of these kits? eBay or hobby shop?

which kit?

Moonlight. Nice build.  What are you going to use for a windshield?

george

the kit i am building is a revell kit, if you crol up i have put in a picture, i am using this kit to do some scratch building

for the revell kit, ebay is one sourse you can find them, a hobby shop maybe, i am living in europe, so i don't know

the Mack from Lee is not realy a kit, it's from Don Mills, http://donmillsmodels.com/

Cor

Lee

looking good your Mack, is the frame also coming from Don?

yes i will have to order one from Don  a mack to start building one.

don't know if berkshire is going to offer those dolly's again, they say that they are going to do a dump truck and a tow truck.

the stake bed and the pickup are back again, in production

Cor

some progress , and some pictures

here are some wheels before and after.

the trailer is almost ready, i added some details 

and a bar for some lights

almost ready for painting

Cor

received also some wheels fron Donn

here are pictures for who wants to know the differents

they are almost the same size, the profile is slightly different

the norscot tyres can be swapped.

Cor

Cor that trailer is looking great very nice and clean work. I like those Norscot tires can you buy them by separately? Do you need more revell wheels I have a bunch Lee 

hi Lee

yes i buy the tires seperate, don't know if they are easy to buy in the states. 

i think the shipping cost will be a killer for those wheels, i am living in the Netherlands.

finished the paintjob, and assambled the trailer.

i will ad some dirt and rust later.

now it's time to finish the flat bed trailer.

Cor

Cor truck looks really good. Great job in that trailer 

finished the flat today

it's now ready to do some transport

and a new project, received a trailer from a matchbox kit

these are 1/43, so i had to make it a bit smaller

later i will finish it ant put wheels from berkshire underneath it

Cor

made some cargo for the trailer

found some chain to tie them up, hope it will hold

Cor

Cor flatbed and load looking good are you going to piggyback it or put a truck under it ? looks very well hope to get some post going on stuff I've been working on  soon. Lee

Cor.

 Very nice looking.

 I had to look twice 

Good luck, John
