Revell/Revell Germany Kenworth cabover kits

[Ben]

Does anyone know if any of the Revell or Revell Germany Kenworth cabover kits, flat top or Aerodyne were issued with all the chassis pieces being molded in white?

All I have is one kit Revell Germany Aerodyne and it is all black. if this is any help.

The original version had a black frame. The unbuilt one I have now with the American flag and fighter pilot decals has blue cab and yellow frame.

Well, yellow is close to white! If they never made a white chassis, i'll go for that one. What does the box look like? Is it a newer release or one of the originals?

Hey Ben.

I have 2 RG Kits. The "trucks of the world" series which I think was one of the early ones and had a black fame.

This is the one which is mid-nineties release and has the yellow frame;

There was a recent one released similar to this and has a red frame.

I dont know about the flattop ones though buddy

Cheers mate

Is it safe to state that you don't want to paint the chassis the color of your choice?

Yep. the one I have is the one above. It's the same as the orginal ezcept for the decals. It's an acid type yellow. Rather bright.

Ben, what's the issue with molded plastic colors. If you use Grey primer then white primer you should have no problems with color bleed though.

This is an orginal kit I built in the early 1990s. "Trucks of the world"

Hey guys, thanks for the info. What I'm wanting to do is paint the chassis light blue, If I were to shoot it over the black chassis, I'd have to prime it first. The more coats of paint you use, the more detail you lose. With a white chassis, I could just shoot a couple light coats.

Not much if you use an air brush. Also warming the spray can in tub of hot water will make the spray thinner.

BTW, you're suppose to prime the plastic any way.
