Great work! I love how the brown oil paint wash really brings out all the rivets and lines in that Cat engine; I'm going to try that on my next engine.

I'm building the Smokey and the Bandit Kenworth Bandit#2 and the AMT W925 Kenworth Model kit is just too much work while the Kenworth W900 Aerodyne Tractor 1:25 Scale Revell #85-1507 -Model Kit same one I have, now that I look at that kit, I believe I can do mix the AMT cab and small bunk, on the Revell Kit. I looked in the box and it already has a very short wheelbase and I never actually put the cab parts together from the AMT kit, so maybe I'll make a video and see if this conversion works maybe with a little bit of scrap styrene parts to make a cab brace. Thanks for what you do, this build inspired me to get these kits I haven't finished done when my arms are feeling better. I have rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative disk disease so bad I can barely do too much which includes playing guitar and working on my bicycle as well.
DC, That's an ambitious project. Let us know how it turns out! Thanks for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't already, to help us continue our mission to inspire more modelers! -Doug
I just bought this kit from Hobby Lobby for $7.00. Stoked!
DS, You scored! -Doug
Same here! It’s a great deal
You did an awesome job 👍. I drive truck for a living and unfortunately the engine is a big cam Cummins, not a cat. I haven't put models together since i was a kid. I got this kit a year ago finally have the time to put it together
KT, Thanks for the info and thanks for sharing. I just have to wonder though, why does this kit's
valve covers have script on them that says, "3408 CAT" with specific paint code details in the instructions for that script. Are you sure the engine in the kit is a Cummins?

That's a GREAT kit to build... You can do so much with it!! 👍👍👍👍
TP, Yes and the price is right too! -Doug
Awesome build ,
SOOO KOOOOOLLLL.
Great work as always! Mike Espo .
Gee gosh, thanks Mike! -Doug
The big rigs are awesome, nice detail. great review, thanks.
TE, Glad you like them dude! -Doug
That's the exact same paint scheme I have on my Kenworth W900 in "American Truck Sim". Looked pretty good irl. Great review.
CCG, Cool, thanks! -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
I have ordered one just like this! Cannot wait to get started on this ace truck model!
Sean, It's an older mold. Make sure the frame is straight before you start and test fit everything before you add glue! PS, please help us reach more modelers by subscribing if you haven't done so already. -Dou
This one is also part of my semi truck fleet. I made it look just like the pictures on the box

Looks like a great kit Doug! Thanks for the review my friend!
Hey thanks Mike, Nice to hear from you again! -Doug
No, it's not a great kit. In fact it's quite terrible. The fact that some guy with a CZcams channel dedicated to scale modeling can make it look good doesn't make it a good model.
I just finished my Ukraine Tribute build of the Kenworth W900 Areodyne today. Its really a great kit!!! Thanks for the awesome review and build.
GL, Nice work! -Doug
Wow truned out awesome 👍
Thanks HB! -Doug
Great video. Very helpful in putting my model together.

You did a awesome 👌 job on that truck 🚚
SB, Thanks dude! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Cool kits! I have crushed 4 or those now, under my high heels 😊and being cheap and one piece frames and almost toy-like, they were robust and held up well! I can stand on them full weight in heels and they don't crush (rightaway), and that makes it so much fun! A friend of mine built them and let me crush them, to put on my channel. Sorry if I offended you or anyone. It's my fun! 🥰
Mary, Well, I have to say that's the most unusual way to enjoy a model collection I've ever heard of. I should also add that on this channel we prefer to help modelers build, them not destroy them. Try building them - you might like it! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas Sorry, I tried but I'm horrible at it. But I love watching them get built, I follow a lot of 'builders' on here. I respect their hard work and attention to detail. The ones I use, are not so great, and they were built poorly in the first place. I just work here at this scrap yard, and most of the time I just do what I'm told to do. There's many out there who love to see that side of things to, and 'use me' for it. Sorry if I offended you sir. Your builds are ALL Right On though! Seriously.
Mary, working at a scrapyard I can see where you're coming from. Crushing cars is what they do! Thanks for sharing! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas Right On Doug!
Mary
Looking forward to getting this kit
Mehna, It's a fun build! -Doug
In the process of building this now. Only issue so far is; after I sprayed the frame, I was sanding paint off one of the axles and it twisted off. Took 2 attempts to get the superglue to hold. Gonna paint mine with Testors Arctic Blue Metallic over black primer and bright silver.
Thanks for all the tips!
GMB, That sounds really cool. Have fun! -Doug
COOL job and I think I will be getting one I just finished a different one I always look at your videos before I go and get one and this one looks COOL. GOD BLESS....
P61, Thanks dude. Test fit and take your time and it will fine! -Doug
I got this from my nan at Christmas
I can’t wait to build it
AR, Test fit everything first! PS, please help us reach more modelers by subscribing if you haven't done so already. -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas don’t worry I will test fit everything
And with models you can Kina make it your own
AR, I hear dat! PS, please help us reach more modelers by subscribing if you haven't done so already. -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas yeah
Very nice build.
THanks PJ. I'm glad you like it. PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
That was a nice build to watch. But one thing that surprised me at the end you spent some time getting rid of mould lines, and gaps in some of the components but left the interior tab holes exposed in the back of the sleeper. None the less like I said it was a neat build to see come together!
BP, Thanks for your feedback but those tabs are difficult to see anyway but we don't build for contests. We leave that to the experts! -Doug
Cadillac of trucks ! Wow
Thanks Nick! - Doug
wow Gabriel, awesome job on a simplified kit
TFS, Thanks for watching! -Doug
Thanks! Details aren't that bad, after all. The tires are horror.
@@PanzergrauModels Yep, the only down side are the tires.
@@PanzergrauModels Just subscribed to your channel. Will be watching
@@thefalloutshelter7799 Thank you so much. We have at least three videos in the making and we'll be very happy to have you into audience.
Did this one recently,i stuffed the tyers with some strong wettish tissue paper,let them dry and they went together a lot easier.
Stephen, Thanks for the tip! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I just finished this kit. Really nice build. I found that a lot of the parts just snapped in place which was nice. Same issue with the hood touching on the air cleaner tanks. Also part #73 exhaust collector, which is installed to the frame first, might not align correctly with the engine exhaust manifold when that's installed. I'm thinking that part #73 and part #71, the crossover pipe, might be added after the engine is installed to ensure proper alignment. I went with the "Lightening Express" theme using Testors Deja Bleu for the exterior. Interior is builders discretion. Applying the decals now and looking to see just how they apply to the hood. Instructions show one thing, the box art shows something different. Might just have to wing it.
Lubs, You're right about that. Sometimes you just have to figure things out as you go. Thanks for sharing and watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
Incredible build really appreciate your time I have just purchased the exact kit and really needed to ask if you use a primer on the chassis or just use a straight base coat ? Subscribed today and really looking forward to viewing more of your video's and wish you a Happy New Year 2023 .
Steve, thanks and a great question. For those applications I just use a black primer. If it's an older kit, wash the parts first! -Doug
Great instructional video, subscribed before the video was over. . Can't wait to acquire this kit. One question, where can you purchase the high carbon decals? I searched Amazon with no luck at all.
Gary, That kit is now out-of-production so eBay auctions are your best bet. -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
Monograham came out with 7 replica trucks back in 1981
NP, Thanks for the info! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Very well done did one my self. Was wondering if you have the website for the decals you used on the bed and seats
Wolf, Thanks. They were just leftovers from my decal stash. I can't remember where they came from, sorry! -Doug
I just picked this kit up at my local shop. is there a trailer to go with this you would recommend?
MO, If you look though the Big Rigs playlist czcams.com/play/PLMKDC6cGeXcyDUtRvEhoFhqzHxY1BceCt.html you'll find several vans and trailers that will work. Any of the old 1/25 AMT trailers will fit. -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
Do you use a airbrush or spray paint????
Mehna, Depends on the level of surface detail. Cans for primer. Airbrush for color. -Doug
A good wheel and tire replacement set would be from any italeri us semi truck the axle stems fit almost perfectly with this kit
Eric, Thanks for the information! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Do I use super glue to put the parts together?
The, I wouldn't use it everywhere. Mostly on fragile parts or those with hidden joins. Sometimes you'll want to use slower setting adhesives to adjust the alignment as it dries. -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
Hi
I lost the cabin an hood pieces. Do you know where can i get them?
Thanks
JC,, Watch eBay for a parts/junkyard build, buy another - they're not to expensive, Use the parts from an entirely different kit. I don't think the new Revell offers replacement parts for these anymore. Hope that helps! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I have this exact truck but the box has the yellow version on it.
Tristan, Follow along with our review for some helpful tips! -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
great videothere i have for of thosed kitsof the w900kenworth truck iam going to streach the frame out to about 237wheel basedand iam going to add led lights to it
WF,, That's an ambitious project. Have fun! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas i will it going to take about 3months to build
One question do the tires roll
Mehna, They have a tapered press fit so they will roll if you don't glue them into place! -Doug
Thx
Nice I am currently working on this model Its my "Ukraine tribute" truck, Its about 1/2 built but I hope to have it done by the end of Oct. Already subbed!!
GI, That's a cool livery for this one! -Doug
LOOK NICE, ARE THOSE FRAME MADE OF METAL SAME AS AXLES MADE OF METAL ???? I GOT ALL ORDER OF METAL RAILER FRAMES FOR Y GRAND HAULER AND NOW I AM LOOKING FOR THE BEST MODEL WITH OPEN FRONT HOOD AND TWO OPEN DOORS AND NICE SLEEPER.
Stanley, The frame is made of styrene plastic! Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas ok, ur very welcome . sure will..
In most markets around the world Revell markets this kit and the Peterbilt kit as snap tite kits.
RB, Thanks for the info! -Doug
That Pete snap is a great kit also Razorbear!
I just picked this up on Ebay, but now I may regret it. I wish I had known it was a snap together. I always turn my nose up at those. Should have put a few more dollars with it and gotten a real kit. Oh well, I'll just resell it.
@@georgebowen2161 it’s a pretty good kit if you put some time into it by detailing it up.
@@IamGalvatron Well, good news, I was able to cancel the order and got my money refunded. Now I am not building anything but AMT truck kits.
Doing this kit now. Good overall kit so far but those warped vinyl tires are garbage. I bought some rubber ones that go to another kit and hope they will work. Having to put those that came with it on it will ruin the looks of the model. Fingers crossed.
Chris, Thanks for sharing! -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
I want that
RJ
Robert, You're in luck. These are still pretty easy to find. -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas yes , kool
18.00$ at Hobby Lobby!!
Thanks Ed, get 'em while they last! PS, please help us reach more modelers by subscribing if you haven't done so already. -Doug
To bad the don't make any marmon truck 😕 models 🤔
SB, That would be nice! -Doug
Stanley Baker Revell Germany does make a Marmon Kit. Unfortunately it’s just their Peterbilt kit with a Marmon grill and some Marmon decals. You’d have to go third party and get resin parts to get a proper Marmon.
@@IamGalvatron Yep, your right Razorbear.
I built this kit. It was horrible. I don't know if I got a dud kit or something, but none of the parts "snapped" together and whenever you put something on, another thing breaks. 1 star for me.
MM, This is kit builds a lot better with a little superglue here and there! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas today is the day when I’m gonna try to fix it. I’ll subscribe, you have good builds.
MM, That's the spirit! You can do it. -Doug
The poor tires in this kit make it one to avoid for inexperienced builders. They are too soft and warped. Solid tire design would have won the kit a better score.
WB, There are some issues with 40-year kit designs and that's why aftermarket products like the Moebius wheelset and Fireball Model Works provide options. If subject matter counts that would be the way to go!
