I have this kit from way back. I am waiting for my skillset to get better to tackle it.

Oh Yes Bill...i am not a truck builder, but i thought, my skills are good enough to fight it. That was a hard way, to complete that kit.
Because i remembered the Truck from my childhood on a poster in my room, it was a wish, to build it till the end.
I will load up pictures asap. It is ready...without decals.

Bill Newcomer
Cool, Looking forward to seeing it.

I took have the kit in my stash. Many years ago, it became a topic for conversation, with a fellow SM friend, who was also an Australian truck driver.
He told me, the Revell kit, is totally incorrect, from what an Australian KW really is. It's hardly surprising really. So, I held off building it, until I fully researched the subject. I'll try and get you guys a link, to his work. I think that you'll agree, he knows his stuff???

The Australian Kenworth is unique to its brethren in that it has the short stubby sometimes sloped bonnet called the SAR and is built for road train applications.
Revell have done the usual put an American version with Australian bits. It's not just road trains out there of course so it could be adapted of course for signal or B-double trailers.

I have one of these, given to me by someone who gave up on it. It's a glue bomb nightmare. No paint, just a lot of glue. I'm not sure it's worth saving.

@ Rod. Parts are easy to get for that kit.
Any Revell W900 will work. It might be easy for you to acquire one of those, and put some of your bits onto it? However never, throw semi stuff away. You'll be amazed at what it comes in handy for? The shit, ahem, spares that I have, I could probably make some crazy trucks, out of.

Very nice Vampire. The nice color modulation on wings and fuselage brings the elegant french livery out well.

That astronaut on the ground reminded me of something. I saw a clip from a movie about some war on the moon. It made me think about the fact that war on earth is bad enough but war in space is horrifying. When you get shot on earth you can hide in a ditch, take some rest, tend to your wound and either go back to base or into the fight. If you get shot in space and it penetrates your suit your done for, you just die, no amount of bandages can help you in the few seconds you have. The last thing you see is the vast emptiness of space and/or the person who killed you. Your body dosent even decompose into the earth. You just lay there till you get back to earth or incinerated. Wow, see gorby a good build makes a person think about more than what meets the eye, this build is a perfect example. It makes you think. 11/10
