Default 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.

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

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)
