Nice truck build,David 👍😎. I've just got this kit and you've shown it well. Thanks for the tips about fittings and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
@@davidchin350 Yes they are snap tite with better features and details! I enjoyed building my KW's! The thing I don't particularly care for are the tires.
Thank you David. What I did I had a real good paint job on my Peterbilt and I wanted to put a clear coat but I picked up the wrong can and it was white paint. I tried cleaning it off but I made a total mess. I finally got it decent paint job and put a clear coat o and it turned out pretty good. Thank you for the advice. Happy modeling.
I am building this truck right now. What I did is paint to engine black and then yellow over top and it makes the engine look like it's got shadow and grease on it. Also with the mud flaps I'm doing the metal a steel color. You made my decision to do white mud flaps that looks awesome
Have built this twice as well as the other REVELL Kenworth. Practically a snap kit but its excellent and builds great and looks excellent. They are cheap as hell more than half the price of other kits but look as good. Hobby Lobby about 25 bucks. Fully recommend the kit and cheap enough to buy 2 or 3 and make weathered, wrecked etc.
Looks good, bud. I was born & raised into trucking & drove 25+yrs fore a low back injury ended my career. That was back in 2016. I drove many different trucks, with Kenworth being my favorites. Long haul OTR, regional OTR, local OTR, local daily, & in road condtruction/ constcuction jobsites. Ive put many, many, models together including different semis with alot of attention to detail, scratch building, kit bashing, adding parts n pieces, making parts move & work. . . . .alot of fun!!! Hoping i can git set up & back into the hobby again someday. Bigrigs & helicopters are my favorites!!! Happy modeling & love the Kenworth W900A Aerodyne model. Thanks for sharing. . . . .10-4! P.S., ya might try adding C.B. radios to your truck model interior's. They're usually mounted up on the front forward part of the headliner of the interior ceilings, in between the 2 sun visors! Paint your C.B. antennas "red" with silver or chromed tips or just all red color. These were known as "Fire Stick" C.B. antennas!
Thanks for the info regarding fire sticks Ray. Your in demand now with the lack of truckers available and the port loading delays affecting our supply chain. Good luck with your model building. Model on!
@@davidchin350 Your welcome David Chin. And thankyou. My career is unfortunatly finished though! I have alot of pain in my low back spine & hip area/hip joints, sometimes shooting, painful, zips or "lightning strikes" as i call them. Feels like im being stabbed with knives. I would have these episodes while driving the last year i had to hang it up. It was all i could do to keep 83,000--85,000Lbs in my 2 hands, not crash the trucks, & get safely off the road somewhere & parked until the episodes were finished with their ordeal. Ive always had the patience & skill to sit down for hours at a time & just enjoy the hobby of model building, in all scales. I love the HO-1/87 scale model building of semi trucks as well. VERY challenging to say the least! Happy modeling, bud!
@@davidchin350 The one I build had several missing parts, and the parts numbers were really small and several of them didn’t correspond to the instructions. Like I said, a nightmare.
Its a decent kit, more simplified more AMT, but if you put in the right ammount of effort and work into it, it can be a nice truck. It was my second truck kit, the Revell Pete 359 was my first. Both great kits for entry level kit. *edit* Also thought i was the only one who called it a Rat-e-ator.
Thanks for watching. I agree it's a simple kit but can be highly detailed with some effort. We must both have the same northeastern accent when pronouncing radiator.
I still like the green. I heard something about one side was to thick and you clean it off. What I need to know how to clean the paint off. I’m really new at building truck models the only thing I build plus trailers. I had a run and I tried wiping it off and actually ruined my kit. Good video you made. I need some help.
If I sprayed too much I instantly take a lint free cloth with paint thinner and wipe off the enamel paint. If not, wait until it dries and wet sand it down. Important thing is to clean the surface, lay a thin coat of primer. Wait at least 2 days after primer to spray a VERY THIN coat of paint. Thin is better because u can always respray another coat. If it's too much it's going to run. Wait at least 2 or 3 days to dry in arid temp between coats or else paint will crackle. Watch my starsky and hutch car build and you can see how fast and light I spray can the parts. Hope this helps. Let me know if have additional questions. Thanks Terry!
Man that is neat. Very nice color choice and liked the white mud flaps. When you mentioned spray paint, what kind of paint did you use? Was it in a spray can? Thanks for any info. I just bought this model on Saturday, at Hobby Lobby. Would like to know about the paint you used, It would be great, Thank You So Much. Nice Work and Cheers.
I used Rustoleum 2x rattle spray can from Home depot since it's the cheapest but you can buy spray cans made by Tamiya and Testors from a hobby store. Be careful when using spray cans since they push alot of paint out so spray with very quick passes.
Hey Terry, the color is Rustoleum 2x spray can Satin Moss Green from Home Depot. I found due to the recent trucking shortage, shipping logistics have been interrupted and sometimes Home Depot is out of paint or colors. Good luck locating it, let me know if you have any other questions.
I just picked up my first kit, same kit, haven't opened it yet, I kinda want to start with a cab over or dump truck though. Anybody know if I can use vehicle paint, exact match stuff on these plastics? I got a few people I wanna give models to 🤭
Doing this kit now and only complaint is the warped vinyl tires. Bought some rubber ones that go with another kit and I hope they work. I do not want to put those ugly warped vinyl ones on a nice looking model.
Yeah those tires are not the greatest Chris. The creases on the sidewalls is my biggest gripe and they are so soft they don't seat into the wheel rims well.
Nice job David. You keep building them an I will keep watching.👍.
Thanks Sean!
Thanks. Just started this model with my son.
Thanks enjoy the kit with your son. Unfortunately my 2 son's don't share my interest.They rather game online with their friends.😣
Awesome build, David!👍😀
This truck looks great 😀
Thanks Toni, this kit basically "snaps together"🙂
Nice truck build,David 👍😎. I've just got this kit and you've shown it well. Thanks for the tips about fittings and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓
Thanks Pete, these kits are basically snap tite kits allowing you to concentrate on the paint jobs.
Very well done on your Revell Kenworth W900A build David! Love that green! I built several of these! I'll have to get you a video of mine!
These are fun kits to paint although they are technically snap tite.🙂

@@johngligo4049 saggy, folding sidewalls😒
@@davidchin350 Yep you got it!
Nice work on your Kenworth Aerodyne truck, David 😮 I really enjoyed the video and I should do one of these sometime! Thanks for sharing 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks Greg, a fairly easy "snap tite" kit.

Beeeeautiful work, especially on the interior! Just picked up this kit and I'm a bit of a newbie so seeing your process will really help guide me!
Have fun with the kit!
Very nice build David I really like these kenworths more than the ultra slick modern trucks of today.
So do I John, I think the older trucks look cooler, love the cabovers.

looks really good.. thanks for the video... I'd like make this next
Thanks!
Nice build David!
Thanks for checking out my archives, appreciate it 🙂👍
Very good work. I like the green. Professional work.
Thanks Terry, I was going for an "army" style green. Glad you like it.
I love the one piece cab and sleeper. I recently build an AMT truck, and the sleeper was a nightmare.
I agree that AMT trucks are harder due to the vast amount of parts so it depends if you want an easy or more challenging build.

@@michaelcooke2559 sorry to hear about that. Sometimes their quality control is non existent. What kit was it exactly??
@@davidchin350 It was the AMT International Transtar 4300 Eagle. I built it and survived.
Fantastic
Thanks Dan, glad you like it!
Looks good

Nice job, David! Get yourself one of those rotating tables; makes it easier to show your models
I have purchased a turntable since that time. Thanks.

You can use auto paint on model cars although I'm not sure how the results will be compared to model paint.
Excelente trabajo. Me podria regalar el instructivo del kW w900?

What color is the semi
Rustoleum 2x Satin Moss Green spray can available from Home Depot.
I got this one
I was gonna do it red
ERTL back then, had the nicest truck models. Lots of parts, articulated front axles and more. They came in colors, not all white like this or AMT.
Never had a chance to build ERTL trucks, only AMT and now Revell.
