Finished the Kenworth Semi to pull the Auto Transport Trailer.
Quite enjoyable model, lots and lots of
details, which is exactly what I like! For painting I take the
smallest brush they make and cut 3/4 of the bristles off. Another one with
1/2 of the bristles cut off for my "large" brush.
The yellow engine turned out better with the
details I added than I thought it would. Plans called for a lot of the parts
to be just black, think my free for all color choices make it spark.
Many of the parts were such precision fit
that I didn't need glue on many of them: the hood, rear mud-flaps, hitch and
wheels specifically. They all move in place.
The frame, wheels, engine, amazingly took
twice as long as the hood/cab did, even with all the decals and interior.
Used the door
stripe decals for the hood decals instead of on the doors. Placed the extra flag decal over
the interior bed slot on the back of the cab to hide it, etc. Still debating
whether to paint the antennae black or leave chrome. |
Because of the radiator placement tight against
the engine block the hood will not close completely, unless I glued it down,
would rather have it hinged open/mostly closed for display than glue sealed. |

Mod done on Mustang
1968 Charger |
Next will be another car, the 1962 2/1 Corvette Roadster convertible...after that a '68
Charger which I
noted could be either stock or race versions. Taking the hood scoop from the
race version I fit it to the previously finished Mustang with the open hole
in the hood. |

Also noticed on the Voyager (after re-watching
the Series) that the power windows were actually blue not red so I went back
and repainted the nacelles.
***************************************************
Looking for 4 hood/side scoops to make the '68 Charger look more like my
actual '69 coronet R/T. |

Here's the Kenworth Semi attached to the auto transport trailer. |
|
Hindsight, wish I had made the trailer main
color red instead of green, oh well. Displayed in it's final display spot on
top of the display case, barely fits but looks good there. 4 more car spots
available on the trailer. |
