I’ve avoided painting schemes like these in the past because I’ve never been sure what goes where so to speak.
After reading this thread I feel confident enough to have a go.

A great modelling resource, thank you.

You're welcome. My favorite thing about the 1970s and 80s trucks were the mutli colored paintjobs they had. I hope to recreate as many as I can over time.

Ok. It's been awhile since I've added to this page. Here are some cool Brockways, a Diamond Reo, and for those of us with International 9670 kits from KFS or SourKraut, a pattern for that truck as well.

Brockway 761


Same colors as the now defunct West Coast Truck Line. Nice paintjob.


I've never seen this cab(same as Mack F and Hayes) with the chrome fenders. I think it looks nice.


International 9670 XL


The sleeper is just like the one from AMT's KW W925. Nice Seminole Stripe pattern.

For the KFS White Road Commander 2.

Bulldog twins and triplets. I thought these Macks looked cooled together.

1980

Lately I've been seeing lots of Ford WT9000s being built or scratchbuilt on the various forums. So here's one from the 1974 brochure. The same page is in the 1977 brochure.

The Kenworth K100 Club has posted a K100 paintbook with schemes and color patches. Check it out. I think there will be more added as time passes. Late 70s/early 80s paint schemes.

I done my apprenticeship painting trucks and never got board with painting new paint schemes,it is always good to look back at them and get reference still.

Regards Tony.
