That's a nice looking W900. I like the colors combination. As for the engine, that's white.

So what color should the cat be for the Revell w900 aerodyne?

[Jim B]

Well, it depends. The kit is a 1976-82, so if you make it a 1976 or 1977 I'd go white, otherwise Caterpiller Yellow.

Ok thanks for the help.

Figured I could bump this up since it's good info and I have a question.

What is a good paint to use to simulate the Cummins Beige, preferably in Tamiya bottle paint?

Jordan, I'm not 100% certain, but in Tamiya paints I'd take a guess the XF57 Buff or XF59 Desert Yellow bottles are about the closest you might find. If you'd want to spray it, TS46 Light Sand looks like a close match to most Cummins I've been around. If you want to look, I found a paint chart here:

Tamiya Paint Charts

They are kind of hard to read, even after clicking on the image to enlarge it, but readable enough if you look close or have really good eyesight!

[Jim B]

For Cummins Beige I use Tamiya Deck Tan XF-55. It's close enough for me.

[Jordan White]

Well I compared the color charts to a picture of a freshly painted Cummins and it does appear that XF67 Buff is the closest. Of course, there's always the excuse of colors being slightly different on the computer, but since both pics are on the computer, it should be fine!

Edit: Just noticed that the XF colors are flat, and I want a glossy look, so the best for that is X31 Titanium Gold.

The seats & dash on this one were painted Tamiya Buff XF-57.

[Justin]

Jim, what truck is that interior for?

[Jim B]

That interior is going in a Mack R685ST.

Thought I'd go ahead and try to match the engines with the kits in this thread instead of starting a new one, I'm sure I've missed a few. Not dealing with the European trucks but I'll include them if they are provided.
I'll update the first post when there is enough to make it worthwhile.

Thanks

I've found reference to the Italeri Freightliner FLC and Ford LTL9000 having either a Cummins FTC400 or FTC475, can anyone confirm this? I know the kits have the same engine, a twin turbo inline.

[DRWho95]

i happen to have one of the italeri FLC kits with the cummins engine what would be the correct color for it?

It would most likely be the standard medium tan.

To contribute to the list, the FLC, Ford 9000, Western Star, and Superliner all have the same engines.

here's a photo i found of a big cam cummins engine adorned in cummins beige
