PierreR89 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Calling this done for now. Had to build one after all the problems i have heard about them but to be honest i did not think it was that hard to build. Revells T600 Aerodyne version was much worse in my opinion. The engine and frame are completley wrong on it as everyone knows and some fitment problems like the hood will barely open. Fairings between the cab and sleeper also gave me some problem and i just gave up on them thats why there are gaps. The sideskirts gave me some problems but i got them to look good on it atleast. I have not decided if i want the roof spoiler on it or not but i like it both with and without it. I might build one again if i can get the Canepa version of it at a reasonable price. Last 2 pic,s are with my other T600's from Revell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I did just the opposite of you. I built the Canepa, now deciding if I even want to built the T600A I have. not an easy kit to assemble, because of all the issues you've mentioned. Nice job though.

kilrathy10 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Looks great, Man... Good job... I don't know what Revell was thinking with their versions... They are just not as good as the AMT, which has it's own problems, but still better than the Revell... Awesome work, Man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hct728(Bob) Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Nice job, and a great addition to the fleet! I have the Canepa version, got it cheap years ago and have been hesitant to build it because of all the bad press, but looking at yours, I see no flaws, all I see is AWESOME!

You should totally build it. Yes, it has many flaws, but it does look pretty good on the shelf when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 pic,s are with my other T600's from Revell I agree. I did not think its was that bad except for the hood not opening issue. Here is a couple of pics of one I did years ago.

Thanks, it does fit in with the other 2 even if it is slightly smaller in its 1/25 scale instead of 1/24 as revell have. On 11/17/2020 at 3:12 AM, iamsuperdan said: I did just the opposite of you.

You should build it, it will look good + you already know about problems that will show up. If i can find a Canepa version i am going to buy it and build it, mostly because it can be fun to have the 4 versions of the T600 that are out there in 1/24/25 scale and not 1/32 On 11/17/2020 at 3:51 AM, kilrathy10 said: Looks great, Man...

Thanks. This one does look better then the revell versions do. I think AMT/ERTL spent more time on research and getting the body lines as close as they could.

Yes it does fit in with the 2 others. You should build it, the rumors are worse then reality on how they are to build. The biggest problem is that the hood will not fully open (revell have the same problem on theirs) but how often do anyone open the hood on a model and look at the engine? 14 hours ago, Bills72sj said: That looks great.
