Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Kenworth W900 Truck Tractor - By Brian Donato


Brian Donato began with an Athearn Kenworth W900 cab and sleeper. The cab is mounted on a modified stretched Trucks N' Stuff/Athearn chassis and is painted with Testors Graphite Dust and sealed with Testors Wet Look Clear. Brian added Athearn exhaust stacks cut at an angle, Trucks N' Stuff sun visor and front bumper, and roof mounted resin air conditioner unit from Ralph Ratcliffe Models. Wheels are all chrome Athearn wheels with a few Mig washes to bring out the depth and detail of the wheels. Mirror mounted CB antennas are pieces of scale trailer air line from Plano Mode Products. Dual fuel tanks are cast metal pieces from the parts box and the headache rack is a cast piece found in the parts box. Strobe lights are from Herpa, toolbox is from the body of an Athearn fire truck, air and electrical lines are painted and wound up wire, and the lift axle fender is from a Boley/Scenemaster salt/sand truck. Brian added hand painted details throughout.
