Phenomenal job! I can hear the Snowman cackling at ol Fred right now. Great attention to detail with the calculator sitting on top of the police scanner and everything. Even down to the Hobbs anti sail flaps. Great work!
I believe I saw this build on scale modelers online magazine a few years back and was inspired to start my own complete Smokey and the Bandit model kit. I got Bandit 1 unbuilt, I wanted to start building Snowman's Kenworth Bandit #2 being a son of a trucker and a former trucker and this being me and Dad's favorite film of all time. The AMT W925 Kenworth kit was pretty troublesome for me, I've heard others talk about how the molds were kind of old and very difficult to work with some of the parts that were warped or fit poorly. And the barely poorly rolling chassis got destroyed in a box in the closet so I gave up except that I built a great tandem wheel set for the Fruehauf trailer, and even made correct looking landing gear inspired by yours being scratch made. As well as the false reefer unit that I actually have to say came out pretty well and sat right in the center of the head rack of the trailer. I am actually going to use the Revell W900 aerodyne Kenworth kit chassis, with the W925 AMT cab sleeper and hood, since it seems like the frame is just the right length on the W900 Revell. You have an awesome channel and the most incredible model builds with the most detail!
Nice build. It's cool to see other guys assembly. I just posted my build too, Check it out. I didn't put any people in mine. I did realize it was a short wheel base till I saw your vid and then went back to the movie. It's Cool!! Cheers! Earl

Appreciate it.
Superb.
Really nice job, you just need the bandit coming out of the back, thanks for sharing the build
Looks awesome!!! I recently built it, too. Didn't know how much to take out of the frame, so I left it.
I have the parts waiting for the decals to come. Do you have added pictures
Great job. Almost pushing me into making a semi model……
Awsome build! Where did you find the decals?
