This spectacular Kenworth W900L was built by Uli Heufs from a variety
of sources. The hood is from a Promotex KW W900L, the cab is from the
Herpa Kenworth T600, the chassis from a Promotex Ford Aeromax, fuel tanks
from A-Line, and bits and pieces from other sources.
The paint job was inspired by a 1/72 scale Revell helicopter kit that
had the decals shown designed by the star designer Colani. Uli airbrushed
the black and blue sections and then added the stars, planets, and meteors
with gel-pens. He then photocopied the decals and made templates of
the Kenworth and then trimmed the decals exactly to fit the contours
of the Kenworth and applied two coats of clear resulting in a truly
spectacular finish!
