Need help identifying semi-trailer

Apr 15, 2004 3 Replies

Hi all,



Back in the 1980's I built a semi-trailer cab only (the kit didn't come with a trailer). I don't remember much about the kit, but I'm pretty sure it was a Kenworth and looked something like this:

I remember painting it blue as well, but mine was an even blue all over. I usually painted my kits as per the painting suggestion in the box.



I most often bought either Revell or Airfix kits at the time, but that's not to say that it was some other brand.



Does anyone know what kit it was?



Thanks!

Can't say on the particular kit, but this picture looks to be about a '72 KW. I know MPC and Revell built them.

Troll through ebay - these kits appear quite often (and often go for silly amounts!), but you should be able to find what you are after.

Search "amt +("1/25", "1:25", "1-25", "1\25") +ken*"
