359 Germany Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hello all I was lucky today and bought/ordered a 1/16 Kenworth W900 from Monogram. Not cheap but within sensable limits! Now, checking the parts on pictures on the web it looks like a direct clon of the 1/25 Revell kit that is on offer still, I assume this is also and older Monogram mold. Now I also have the 1/16 Pete 359 from Monogram...but I have so far not found it's clon in 1/25. Did Monogram never mold that version in small? The available Revell, ex Monogran, snap kit is a different version, no turbo, airfiliter on the other side, coffin sleeper, etc... The 1/16 Pete is also a short hood version, the current Revell native kit is a long hood. Last but not least...the Kenworth W900 Aerodyne in 1/16...does this one have a 1/25 clone kit? thanks Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 There is a similar kit to the 359 in 1/25 but I don't know if it's an exact clone. There hasn't been a long hood Aerodyne issued. There is the short hood snap kit or the long hood flat top. You could make a long hood Aerodyne in 1/25 if you can find the first issue of the Revell T600. It's the only issue with the Aerodyne roof. Then swap the sleeper onto the long hood flat top kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not because that and also the Monogram 1/25th scale snap counterpart both have the square headlight buckets where the 1/16th scale has the rounded off oval style buckets.

359 Germany Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) The Revell 359 in 1/25 has not one bit in commen with the 1/16 Pete...since it is a Revell USA native mold and not an old Monogram one. So by the looks of it the W900 is the only kit that was cloned from 1/25 to 1/16 or visa versa...where as the 1/16 Pete does not have a direct Monogram 1/25 clon. I will post pictures of comparison once the big W900 arrives... thanks Uwe Edited March 14, 2020 by 359 Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
