Kenworth W900 Aerodyne

[Brenton]

Here’s my Revell Kenworth W900 Aerodyne. It’s a basic build—out of the box. These kits go together very well and are great for a quick build. Forgot the grab bars on the stacks, but I’ll install them later.  Enjoy the pics!

Nice looking W900.  Well done.  Plans for a trailer?

Ive been looking but can’t really decide. I know I want something a little more modern in tooling and that will look good with the truck. Any suggestions?

Since the Revell/Monogram Kenworth W900 is essentially a 1976-82, you can really use just about any trailer.  The AMT trailers issued by Round2 are essentially 1970s vintage 40ft trailers and will look just fine behind your tractor.  You might have trouble with the livestock trailer, NASCAR/moving van trailer, & lowboy trailer due to the fixed fifth wheel on the W900.  If you really want a modern 53ft trailer, then you should look into the Moebius trailers.

I haven't built any of the Moebius trailers, but I know plenty of people who have, and they are nice kits.

Those are great suggestions! Your builds are awesome!  I never thought about that flatbed, but it looks really good with that Peterbilt. Mmmm, so many choices!!!

Moebius makes a modern flatbed, too.

Just looked it up. What a great looking trailer!  Saw the exact trailer today on I95 and thought what a cool trailer with the box between the rear axles.

Real nice build!

[stavanzer]

Another Great Build!

You are getting the hang of building Trucks, Sir. Good Luck on the trailer build.

 

 

Good Show.

Thanks guys for the nice compliments!  I got a couple amt truck kits that I’m gonna tackle next so I’ll need lots of help on those—Cali Hauler and Kenworth 925 Watkins truck. 
Hope I’m not getting in over my head…

Take it slow, make sure every part in the multiple piece chassis is straight, and Test Fit, Test Fit Test Fit.

And do NOT hesitate to ask for help on Item Placement, as Old AMT Directions can be really vague about where certain parts 'really' go.
