Thank you. I appreciate it. It's a great kit lots of opportunities to expand on a number of different levels of building it your way.

Look’s really good, I have a couple kits sitting boxes that I have just not started on. I hear it’s a good kit. 

Well done

The start of my "Orange Crate" 1980 KW W900 Aerodyne. The frame color is Testors One Coat Lacquer Flaming Orange. Interior is Krylon Leather Brown, with Craft Acrylic Burnt Orange for the seat Inserts and the sleeper blanket, and pillow. I will post more as I progress. Hoping for a completion tomorrow (or as close as I can get her). I have weathered the engine, and parts of the frame.

Basic kitbash of the Dodge L700 and Ford C900 Garwood, lovingly tossed together and weathered. There's a very brief build chronicle in the workbench section.

Nice touch with the truck numbers !  Skilzzz 😳 Johnny

Found some more ugly green. Decided why not use it for the engine 🤣   Here it is tucked into place. Work has begun on the interior. Basic cab will be weathered off white.

It was much easier and quicker to use the PE part above than cutting out the grill detail on this cab. 
This  experience will certainly make me think twice before trying to  do a whole radiator.
  The third window is added to a short cab.  PE window gaskets applied.

Using a sanding sheet taped to a flat surface greatly improved the problematic cab seam.

You are correct, color really works , weathering adds to it nicely. 

Looks really good
