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.
