Default for my uncle! 1/24 scale kenworth aerodyne

well long story shortened a lot, my uncle passed away last january. he was a furniture mover since before i was born. he drove a ton of different truck, but his favorite was the aerodyne. so may aunte has been cleaning out the storage room over the past year and found a 1/25 aerodyne from 1987. well as a salute to him, i am building this truck to the specs he has on a napkin stuck to the model packaging.
just working on getting pics up. should be tonight for the start
