Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Kenworth W900L Truck Tractor - By Jim Groeneweg


This spectacular model started out as a Malibu International die-cast Kenworth W900L that has been stripped off its brown paint job and repainted in authentic auto base/clear paint. Colours are '66 Mustang Sapphire blue with '97 Hertz gold along with a custom mix for the light blue. The truck rides on a modified Athearn chassis that has a host of Dennis Aust add-ons including grille, bumper, fuel tanks, battery boxes, air breathers, lower cowl extenders and all wheels/tires. The quarter fenders, deck plate, rear mudflaps, fifth wheel carrier and deck steps were transferred to the Athearn chassis. The windows were tinted and Bare Metal Foil and Alclad make up the chrome.
