Kingworth T404 SAR

Hi guys n girls,
I've been looking around this awesome forum for a while now and thought I'd better contribute to it.
I haven't been building very long so I'm not as good as a lot of you. There are so many great builds on here, so here goes (I hope this works)

This is the truck I am replicating (hopefully). It is an ozzy Kenworth T404SAR. I drive this truck for a living.

This is what I started with.
Shortened the sleeper.

Cut off the hood

The hood the right shape

Sleeper roof and mouldings started

A few holes filled, sleeper doors and tool boxes redone. Couldn't help myself, i had to see what it looked like with the stacks and grill on.

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR

A bit of sanding to do

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR

I wasn't happy with the way the sleeper doors looked, so I changed them

Added the air intakes, sleeper steps and grab rails, also repositioned the blinkers

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR

Now a rolling cab chassis

Also modded the windows

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR

A few detailing pieces.
DG placard and decals made by me. Driving lights by RC4WD. Badges, aerials and headlights by PMD, lit up by Tamiya MFU.http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...psrnnsj24b.jpg

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR

Aluminium tanks plus tank straps by PMD, steps from the kit. I had to purchase a second set of steps to go on all 4 tanks from good ol' Ebay

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR

Working suzi coils running from MFU. Used 3.5mm headphone plugs from local electronic store to connect to trailer.

They are a tuff truck. They are an ozzy work horse. Na no front fenders getting done. This build is pretty much done (although there is always something to do on it)

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR

Wow, what a great job you did. Beautiful truck.

Re: Kingworth T404 SAR
