Helix Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Here we go, Time to go through this kit, quite a few parts are not required, even my Auselowe bits are outdated to their current specs and offering. But I'll use them anyway Still deciding on the colour for this, two tone for sure.....
Petetrucker07 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Quite a pile of parts there too. I'm lookin forward to seeing what you come up with for this.
Bennyg Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Good to see another Aussie. Looking forward to watching yours progress. Ben
Mopar - D Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Ray looking forward to see what you do with the KW.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Looking forward to this one!! This is my favorite version of the T600. I remember the first T600 I saw. I think that it was in 1985. It was a demonstrator from Kenworth. All the drivers called it an "Ant-eater." This one will be good!
rctruk Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Cool choice...looks like you have some neat parts to add to it.
Old Buckaroo Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I never knew Revell even kitted this truck until now.
scummy Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I never knew Revell even kitted this truck until now. They are hard to come by and when you do here in oz you gona pay big bucks for them .
Helix Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 Yeah, bit hard to read the price on the box, but it was $75 Aussie!That was 25 years ago!
gatorincebu Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 That should be an interesting build. I just checked my stash, I don't have that particular kit.But do have the T600 KW. Ihope it goes together better than the AMT kit if the same truck.Good luck with your build. Be Well Gator
tbill Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 i have one of these in the stash, as mentioned, i hope it builds better than the amt kit, cause that kit is a bear to make look good.
jacobus Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 have these also 2x in the stash and 1 amtlookin forward how it come,s this oneand yes , i have make one from amt , have used the abc of terrible word,sjacobus
Helix Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Fingers crossed with this build chaps, first Rig in over 20 years !
Helix Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Here we go: Step one, go through the parts not required......! Step two and first part of the assembly......cut up the chassis!!!!
rctruk Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I was also amazed by the amount of parts that are for the KW cabover kit
kilrathy10 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Can't wait to see you get this one working....I've never had the pleasure of building this kit.....
Olskoolrodder Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Always loved T600's,cool choice,can't wait to see it
vettecote Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Used to have one of these, want another...Joe
Helix Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Here's my colour choice, subject to change....possibly !! Mr Colour Metallic Red and Testors Sterling Silver... Cab, hood, sleeper and chassis all in Red and the silver will be used to break things up by means of stripes etc
purepmd Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Ray, Good choice for this build. As far as Aero Conventionals go, IMHO, still the best looking.
Helix Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Making some progress, the instructions are quite poor for this kit, so it helps to have some knowledge Funny how you have to chop and refit the chassis, but it's taking shape and I'm doing some test fitting at the moment, the 'Auslowe' fuel tanks are over 20 years old, so I've been cleaning them up. The Cummins diesel is ready for primer and first coat of Beige paint.....the Turbo's were chrome plated so I've de-chromed them
gatorincebu Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Good choice of colors ! I think it will look really good. Be Well Gator Edited January 7, 2016 by gatorincebu
Helix Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Cheers guys, might be a colour change Gator, still deciding and it's doing my head in.....so many options
