Kenworth 850 Off Highway

Man, that's a beautiful model. I'm glad you're putting in the efforts on the details. The mirror posts look great. It's all the little stuff that will make this model come to life! So I guess this Kenworth is going to be yellow and green?

Thanks Nate, I'm not sure if I'm spending the time adding the details to make the truck look more finished or just to avoid painting!lol I really hate painting... Yes the truck will be yellow, green and white. I'm going to try and see if I can get the original owners company logos made for the doors. I think that will really make it appealing to some of the old timers around here(and to me too).

Small update....details, details....
Made some brass caps for the tanks...

some studs for the front wheels....

some hold downs for the hood...not very scale other than their location but they will do....


and finally started to splash some paint on the front wheels....I greatly dislike painting


Thanks for peepin!

That's a pretty bold statement Mario! I think there are a few other builds going on that best it for build of the year(Like that guy from Finland building the excavator) but I guess you're allowed to be bias because you contributed to the project! I'm actually enjoying some of the detail work on this. There are a few things that I should do that I'm having trouble finding the motivation for but I will try to keep pushing forward and not get impatient...
