Chester Fesmire built this Kenworth C500B from a Dennis Aust resin kit. Chester says he pulled a major screw-up on this project because he mounted the cab and hood on a Roco chassis since Dennis' oilfield tires fit it and he didn't realize until he was almost finished that the wheelbase was way too short! We'd say Chester salvaged this one pretty well! About the only thing that isn't from Dennis Aust or Roco is the roof rack that is a photo-etched part from Hauler. The exhaust stack is scratchbuilt and Chester added brass wire grabs and steps.
