I’ve seen other reviews and yours are the most useful I find. keep posting them right on
CN, That's what we like to hear! -Doug
Kenworth will be 100 years old in 2023. It is headquartered in Kirkland, Washington. Nice model!
Steve, Thanks for the info! -Doug
One of your best builds! Thanks!
Whoa, thanks Pete! -Doug
I've been eyeballing this kit. Thanks for posting your build blog of it.
VeV, No problem, We're here to help! -Doug
This kit was extremely easy. It took me 3 hours to have everything cut and assembled for painting. Came out wonderfully, but I did mess up on one of the decals.
Emilio, Decals can be tricky. With practice you'll learn how to stay out of trouble! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Stunning result
KSG, that nice of you to say! -Doug
I just brought one today, I hope it turns out as good as yours Sir. Thank you for your step by step, setup, really appreciated, for your knowledge on this build.
DD, Glad you stopped by! -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
That is one clean, beautiful build. Just shows that part count doesn't guarantee a good kit. Good engraving, and in this case, clean build, crisp detail painting make all the difference. Great job!
SD, You've hit the nail on the head, thanks! -Doug
I built this Kit like five different times and it's a very easy kit and would recommend it to anyone
JW, That's what we thought too! -Doug
Looks great!
I have this truck on my workbench now, almost 1/2 way built.
DF, Hope you find the review helpful. Watch that hood fit! -Doug
Great kit Doug! I've built a few... Almost a snap kit she fits so nice! Thanks for the video buddy 🏁🏁👍
Thanks Mike! -Doug
Great build... very clean looking truck...
DM, Aw, shucks 'ole buddy! -Doug
I have found that the wheels and tires in the italeri semi trucks will fit nicely and look more realistic on this kit
Eric, Thanks for the info and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
Great build. “Soaking” warped parts in hot, but not boiling, water then clamping the part can help straighten out warps.
AC, that sounds pretty good! -Doug
Great job Doug.
Vaughn
Thanks Vaughn! -Doug
Looks great!
'Preciate that, Red! -Doug
Great job my friend!!!, congratulations!!, best regards from México City!!
Gracias mi amigo. Te agradezco que te detengas a visitar! -Doug
Great Review! Keep On Truckin
Thanks a lot CP! -Doug
Nice build!
Thanks MB! -Doug
I just did this same model not bad alot of trimming or anything a great kit for my first one
Gratz JK, I hope you had fun. The more you build the easier it gets. Thanks! -Doug
Amt/Revell may have done a good job on the kit, but you brought it home on this one. Great work. I have this same kit with minor differences, an Amt version about 1982. Hardly any of the molds lined up, like a sandwich with one piece of bread hanging way over to one side, lol. Very hard to work with so i just didn't put the effort in i should've. You really put mine to shame on this build, lol. Thanks a Heep for this build! Mr Doug!
IW, You're too kind! -Doug
Awesome!!
JC, Thanks dude! -Doug
Great looking rig, well done!...Bill
Hey, thanks Bill! -Doug
A big thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍👍
J86, Thanks man! -Doug
I had the same problem with the tires. Also one thing I didn’t like is the tab for the body and sleeper. Have to paint the back of the truck after installation to look better. Great video!
Keith, Thanks for the tip! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Right On Replicas definitely subscribing. Please checkout my channel as well. I just got back into modeling after my 20 years in the military and loving it all over again.
Keith, It's great to hear about a builder returning to the hobby we love. Thanks for watching and for your service! -Doug
Right On Replicas you’re most welcome
nice work
HP, thanks dude! -Doug
Awesome
MM, Nice of you to say! -Doug
I have this kit, you are right the wheels are a sticking point. Also one of the fuel tank ends was bowed in badly. Had to build it back up with putty. I call this an entry level truck kit, the Revell Germany kits are so much more detailed.
CS, You are correct. And at 2-3 times the price that's what you would expect! -Doug
I just built this kit last week
076, Hey, great minds think alike! -Doug
Thanks for the review on the revell model truck. With Revell so short on detail and parts not fitting well I can't see paying out $30 bucks for it. AMT makes a much better kit and for around same price. But back in the day when I built model trucks I could get them for about $10 bucks. But that was then.
NG, You're right; the times they are a changin! -Doug
Nice kit, I've been wanting to build a big rig. Yours turned out great!
MB, this is an easy builder too! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas Good to know but aftermarket tires are needed!!
MB, They would really help the overall appearance on this one! -Doug
“ motor” is a reference to a mechanical device that uses electricity. Engine is the word you’re looking for.
Jack, Thanks for the info! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Cool rig Doug. I stuffed my tires with tissue so they would align better.
Great suggestion, Chaz! -Doug
Nice kenworth it looks very crisp 👍
Bryce - NCR
Thanks for the kudos Bryce! -Doug
Yep no problem I love you videos keep up the great work.
I love semi trucks I go to my local truck stop to see them
Bout 4 flat tires on drive but dang look good .....I bout one sat. Working on building a drop visor for it ......it needs one BADDDD AND UR CAB OVER TOO
Thanks TC! -Doug
Very nicely done. Fit issues can be a royal pain though but with some patience a great result can be had! The one car I would like for you to do is the Joker Goon car. :)
WH, That might be fun, and I'm not jokin"! -Doug
Great job on this one, Doug! Are you getting better by the day or what! :)
PM, Thanks for your concern it's slow but I'm on the mend! -Doug
I am currently working on this kit, so far its not to bad. Its gonna have a Ukrainian theme blue and yellow two tone with some silver highlights and decals, however mines not gonna look as pretty the one you built. its gonna be a working truck so it will have some weathering.
CT, That sounds great! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I used ,old style cat yellow for my engine
RW, Good choice too! -Doug
I’m going to get this and put an Auslowe Detroit 8V92 engine in it
WC, You're getting very crafty! PS - if you haven't already, please subscribe so that we can reach more modelers! -Doug
i had the U.K. version of this model, in 1/25th and 1/18 scale and found it was far superior to U.S. model kit, unlike the one you demonstrate, my wheels were actual rubber tires, and the wheels are put together as you would see on the real wheel set up. also, the Chrome features are far better than on those kits found in the U.S. the items i mention are as standard on all Revell .U.K. /European models.
AS, They are usually better detailed as you've mentioned but they should be. This kit goes for $30 USD and the Revell 07497 kit goes for about $60. Thanks for the comparison! -Doug
Hey. I have one of the kits. Do you think that the tire issues you mentioned in this kit can be rectified by replacement tires (amt for instance) or will I need wheels as well?
Thanks in advance for you help,
Steve
ST, The Moebius type replacement tires are an improvement. I'm not sure about the wheel opening size though. You might have to adjust it by scraping/sanding them larger or adding tape to the wheel to close the gap! -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
👏🏻👏🏻👍😎
AY, Thank you very much! -Doug
Hot water would have worked for the tires. When I have fit issues I use hot water or a hair dryer.
Josh, thanks for the tips! -Doug
Is there any trailer that will hitch into that kenworth ayerodyne 900 plz answer
Gurjasplayz, Since it has a standard fifth wheel hitch there's no reason why any Revell 1:25 trailer couldn't be made to work. You may have to manipulate the connection or add the hitch ball yourself if there isn't one already in place. -Doug
I don't remember any fit issues with my kit,except the hood not going all the way down .
Rog, thanks for the tip - that's an area to watch! -Doug
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Well,thanks TR! -Doug
Not many parts though.
BV, Yep, it's an easy builder! -Doug
SOMETHING ELSE THAT I USE IS OVEN CLEANER ANY OF THE DIFFERANT BRANDS WILL REMOVE THE CHROME OF YOUR KITS
Max, thanks for the tip! -Doug
