BJ and the Bear Kenworth - 1:32 scale

Back in the 80's i had a remote control (cable, not radio) K-100 and trailer. It fell apart a long time ago, but i still had the cab and trailer. A couple of years ago i found another at a garage sale. I decided to paint my old one and make it into BJ's truck.
After i took the cab off, i compared it to one of my New Ray trucks, and discovered it was 1:32 scale. So i changed plans and tried making it into a more scale model. I used the frame from one of my 2 white Pete 379's, parts from a Freightliner trash truck i just got (allready haved one), a 1:25 scale model of a Mack (the DM600 Ertl tried to pass of as the Rubber Duck's :/. I don't have the whole truck, just parts from 2), and a little scratchbuilding.
The hard part was finding a correct photo. I found almost half a dozen variants of the real truck so i picked one and stuck with it.

Overall it turned out ok. Though some details are wrong. Namely the steps and handrails on the sides. Also these R/C trucks didn't have an interior. Just black plastic windows. Total cost was $7 (the price of the trash truck). I didn't really need that other truck to make it. I could've used the parts off of the Peterbilt (i'll make a custom out of the trash truck in the future), which would've made it free.

Hopefully one of these days i'll get ahold of one of the actual 1:32 scale model kits of the truck that were made.
