Built this one about 14 years ago, my first full detail big rig. Lovely kit! Unfortunately it got damaged about nine years ago and I don't think I can resurrect it.
Great job built the kit in the 80-90 the wire wheels are a custom accessory for the rear wheels master box do some figures drivers and passengers for trucks.
Bill can you let me know the difficulty, if any assembling and hanging the turbo on this Cummins engine. I think Revell could have done a better job with the instruction sheet for this part of the kit. Having a heck of a time with mine. Putting it aside for awhile before I get mad enough to pitch it.
Sweet kit. Much better than the older Revell version I have. Love the Peterbilt 359 in any event, I'll make my kit work out though, in some way shape or form. Wish I waited to buy it though. This one would have been so much better. Thx Chris!
I really like the unboxing videos. Good insight to the details and complexity of the kit. This one is intriguing, not a kit I would have considered. But the variety of surfaces from sleeper interior to engine to cab exterior… the painting and weathering seems like a fun challenge with lots of work and possibilities.
The very first truck kit was the Peterbilt 359 by AMT (I did mine in sprayed Testors jade green metalflake).. This Revell version shows how far the molding art has come -- absolutely beautiful! Even the decals are outstanding. And that chromed diamond tread -- wow! Thanks for showing us, Chris.
Oh dude!! The spoke wheels!! You win the all access pass to the Revell Monogram factory!!! All the kits you'd ever want for the next 3 years...you'll be like Charlie in Willy Wonka!
Chris I am wondering if you might know of a 25th scale semi kit that have the wide front tires like on a cement truck or fire truck ect. i am going to build a custom version of a truck out of this kit . What a coincidence that you are reviewing this particular kit. I just picked up this exact kit about a week ago, very nice kit. thanks Chris
This is the exactly the same kit I had 40 years ago, it was called Black magic. As you went through the unboxing, I looked at the instructions. The same kit but in black. I just picked one up in about 95%, for $60. I also bought 4 of these kits because I couldn’t find the black magic kit. So now I have 5 kits. The two option decal stripes are awesome. Unfortunately, the black magic decals forty years old and they will not be able to be used.
Love your reviews! Only one critical comment on the kit, the headlights are from a 379. Old school AMT 359 are round headlights. Old 359 driver here, have to be accurate!
Reminds of a hat I used to have way back when, it had on it “ Old truckers never die, they just get a new Peter-bilt “! Course, a lot of fellars heard of that, that’s just the first thing I thought of when I heard Peterbilt.
thanks for the review.ove the model truck.but the biggest question is .does. it have rear axles in the kit.i don't like plastic axles for the rear .other wise the wheels won't stay on the semi truck.
really cool, looks a lot nicer than the Revell 359 snap like kit, even though it still went together nicely, currently building the kenworth w900 which looks like a lesser detailed the the 359.. still having fun building them
I thought that this and my old Revell 359 kit were the same, but mine doesn't have the opening doors, the frame is a once piece casting and it's got a Cat under the hood. I'd get this just for those beautiful decals, though!
Just a question... can you not sand off the raised areas and lay the decals over it, align it, and use microsol or the like to get it to mold to the raised areas? I've never tried this, just wondering. It would be really cool if this was possible.
I really enjoy watching your videos very detailed and informative I'm really hoping that you could help me. I have this model that I had purchased second hand and was informed that it was complete, I decided at a later date that I would start to build it and found out that I'm missing 2 important pieces! The hood and the cab. I was wondering if you could possibly have extra or know someone who might. I have contacted the company and was informed that the kit was no longer available and no parts. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your time
Thanks for the unboxing kit looks great just ordered one. I have never understood why people get upset about flashing it’s part of model building. Would love to see a build of this one.
Paint and glue don't take nearly as long to dry as some of the 'experts' want you to think they do. I also don't sand and polish paint or all of that stuff so my builds move along very fast.
Hi chris, liked how you did the review on the Revell Peterbilt. View a couple of trees then the stills, could be the way to go forward with other reviews.
@@teddyjones8027 + thanks for the reply I didn't know if it was a new kit have the new transtar 4070A kits 4 of them I just look at the kit it's nice redone of the 70s kit
@@dennisbisconti4583Your Welcome, it really is a very nice kit with tons of details and the extremely cheap price you can buy 1 from Hobby Lobby or Michael's is insane for how much model you are getting. I really wish more of the 60s, 70s, 80s big rig kits would come out with the amount of details that this kit has.
Sure you can build 42 kits a month! In the 70s and 80s I'd do 3 in an afternoon... Spray the parts trees 3 different colors each Let dry In the mid afternoon start building 10 pm all done lol

Bummer I thought it was a complete build Chris 😭😭 been considering of getting the kit to add to my stash.
Love building the Big Rigs!! That's a good kit... 👍👍👍
Built this one about 14 years ago, my first full detail big rig. Lovely kit! Unfortunately it got damaged about nine years ago and I don't think I can resurrect it.
Thanks for the unboxing and through parts review! Excellent photos!!
Nice unboxing great idea putting images of the sprues up. Cheers .
Great job built the kit in the 80-90 the wire wheels are a custom accessory for the rear wheels master box do some figures drivers and passengers for trucks.
Wish this was a build, love the semi kits. So relaxing watching you work with the music 🎶
I literally just got this kit and it looks amazing. Will be building it really soon.

I think Revell could have done a better job with the instruction sheet for this part of the kit. Having a heck of a time with mine. Putting it aside for awhile before I get mad enough to pitch it.
Reason there is some flash is because the kit is 40 years old in 2022. Released as kit 7410 in 1982.
Looks like a great model -thanks for showing it to us.
I'm building this kit now. It is a beautiful kit

A very nice kit. It is probably well engineered as well. Thanks Revell. Great box review. Thanks for the bonus episode. I really appreciate it.

Hey Chris.. The wire whells are Centers for the rear wheels,,,,
I'm sold on this one...thanks for the review!!! 😇👍🏼
Hope you enjoy it!
I build one a month......how do you have time for all this?
Thank you brother for another A1 review

Another great video, Chris!! I'd like to have that kit!!!
Looks like a great kit Chris! Thanks for the unboxing!
Wish I could still build would like this truck with car hauler on back to some of my cars in would be great. Thanks
Hi Chris
I love your videos!!!
The spoke like wheels are wheel covers for the rims.
That is a reboot of the old black magic Pete good truck and the detail is real good as well
8:17 Nice bit about using screen material IRL vehicles behind the grill for protection.

Thank you...looks like a really awesome kit!
Whenever you do the build, I hope you share that with us!
Looks awesome Chris...but just seems a lot more intensive work than for example the AMT International...which is a true gem!
Those are wire incerts for the rear wheels!
Cool project.
really cool, looks a lot nicer than the Revell 359 snap like kit, even though it still went together nicely, currently building the kenworth w900 which looks like a lesser detailed the the 359.. still having fun building them

Would’ve been nice for a full buid
On that chrome tree those spoke wheels that you saw is a custom hub cap for the rear wheels
Revell makes the best kits
I would strongly advise sanding off the dash details for the decals. Definitely on the center console.
Just a question... can you not sand off the raised areas and lay the decals over it, align it, and use microsol or the like to get it to mold to the raised areas? I've never tried this, just wondering. It would be really cool if this was possible.
@@acrowe2512 for some areas like the dashboard yes absolutely. For the center console there are some areas way too raised for the decals to settle on.
@@IamGalvatron Good to know it's possible! I've been wondering if it was. Will I dare it? You only get one decal to try.... thx for your info!

Lots of folks part out kits on Ebay, see if you can source them there. :)
My god,, I need 6 of those ❤❤❤
Howdy Pilgrim, I was wondering if you had built this Peterbilt kit yet?
The bicycle style wheels are an optional wheel insert for the tandem drive wheels. Hope this was helpful.
Thanks!
No problem!👍
Those spokes are just rear wheel inserts. It's a custom thing.
how do you keep them from setting too fast so you have time to make adjustments?
I just noticed it has a Kenworth grill on the box art.
Lindo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Do you know if the make Freightliner Cascadia tractors
Thanks for the unboxing kit looks great just ordered one. I have never understood why people get upset about flashing it’s part of model building. Would love to see a build of this one.
How do you get your paints and glue to dry so fast to be able to put out two models a week
Paint and glue don't take nearly as long to dry as some of the 'experts' want you to think they do.
I also don't sand and polish paint or all of that stuff so my builds move along very fast.
nice kit but overprized
Hi has this kid just been re released and what is the number model number for it
The front rim covers for the front wheel rims

Chris + is this a new kit or is it a reissue
just a reissue, I built this in 1990 but it's still a fantastic kit with lots of details, hours of fun

Como puedo comprar o donde lo cpmpran
You guys call them “tree”? I thought those are runners
Nice music.
"I spotted some flash! The whole kits ruined now!" 🤣
LOL
Sure you can build 42 kits a month! In the 70s and 80s I'd do 3 in an afternoon...
Spray the parts trees 3 different colors each
Let dry
In the mid afternoon start building
10 pm all done lol
Its a nice kit .. But the molds are old .. Needs some work..alot
