Kenworth W900 Truck Tractor - By Brandon Hintz


Here's a closer look at Brandon Hintz's spectacular Kenworth W900 truck tractor. Brandon's modifications to the Athearn model included sanding down the center windshield post and adding scratchbuilt windshield wipers and painting the interior. Brandon modified the exhaust stacks, added turn signals and fender running lights, MV Products lenses in the bumper for driving lights, modified Plano mirrors, and a rear deck plate. He also scratchbuilt the fuel tanks, front and rear mudflaps, front bumper step, shortened the steps on the sleeper, and added air and electrical lines. Wheels and tires are from Dennis Aust. Bare Metal foil highlight the fuel tank mounting straps and the front mudflap weights. Safety stripe decal on rear mudflap is from A-line. Brandon finished the model with added extra paint detail to the factory paint job where appropriate. Previously featured in Photo Gallery 363.
