Dennis the Revell KW will work fine if you plan on putting the Stinger on you will have to modified the back of it. I have a couple of these kits and I’ve talked to Don for years. The Revell KW frame can be used on any of Dons Cabs if he still sells them. I’ve also used Dons wheels and tires on all my Revell KWs that’s on my O scale layout here’s a couple pics for you to look at as a guide of what they will look like with his parts and wheels and tires.

Yeah it was a one of a kind I think I’ve been researching this truck for a several years now and I can’t find nothing about it. Check out that “ Astro” badge on the side and the square road lights in the bumper. Here’s the dash which is very different also it’s going to be such a fun build -

Ok before we start I’ve changed my mind. I’ve been wanting to build this truck for several years but in a little different than what it was in the Movin On Episode. I’ll be doing the same colors but using the GMC General type decals leaving it the same WB. as the Model. So this is my new entry. This truck I’m pretty sure was a “Limited Edition” or a debut truck for the New updates options for the Astro in late 1975 Early 1976 as the AMT model T-510 603 Instructions and according to the oldest ATL Truck Lines decals I have was printed in 1976. The Real truck appeared in Season 2 Episode 2. Of the Movin On series. I’ll do more research on this date. After this episode the truck appeared several times with different paint including the very last Movin On episode but I’ll wait to tell more about that in my thread. -
Casey thanks for sharing. I knew the Chevy Titan had one but didn’t know about this Titan Version. Thanks again.

24 hour build time again…..
Pete68 replied to tbill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks very nice and a great GB also. Reminds me when I was a teenager building Trucks staying up all night on the weekends building getting it done in about that 48 hours and save my money and buy another kit 2 weeks later and do it all over. Looking forward to the end results. -

Pete68 replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Worked on this one a little tonight. Added the interior and some cab details unfortunately some I’ve lost over the years an have to replace. I also added the stack and air cleaner. I don’t like the way the one looks going from the air breather to the blower so I’m going to remove it and fix it up a little. -

The rules are just a guide, intended to get us building and keep things fair. So, normally as long as the kit is less than 25% complete, it is fine to use. If all that is done is a primers cab, you are good. Kit must be UNBUILT not even 25% this is Not the BRBO.
