Kenworth Truck Company is an American truck manufacturer. Founded in 1923 as the successor to Gersix Motor Company, Kenworth specializes in production of heavy-duty (Class 8) and medium-duty (Class 5-7) commercial vehicles. Headquartered in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland, Washington, Kenworth has been a wholly owned subsidiary of PACCAR since 1945,[2] operating alongside sister company (and marketplace rival) Peterbilt Motors.
Kenworth marked several firsts in truck production; the company introduced a raised-roof sleeper cab, and the first heavy-duty truck with an aerodynamically optimized body design.[3] The Kenworth W900 has been produced continuously since 1961, serving as one of the longest production runs of any truck in automotive history. The K100 was also released in 1961.
In 1982 and 1984, respectively, the W900 and K100 underwent their most substantial revisions, becoming the W900B and K100E. While visually distinguished by the adoption of rectangular headlamps, the updates were centered around upgrading fuel economy, road handling, and reliability.[18]
In 1985, the Kenworth T600 was released by the company; in contrast to the W900, the T600 was designed with a set-back front axle and a sloped hoodline. While the latter initially proved controversial, the combination improved aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, and maneuverability.[18] Intended as an expansion of the Kenworth model line, the success of the T600 would lead to the introductions of similar designs from multiple American truck manufacturers. In 1986, the T800 was introduced, adapting the sloped hoodline and set-back front axle for a heavy-duty chassis; the shorter-hood T400 was introduced in 1988 as a regional-haul tractor.[18]
In 1987, Kenworth introduced the Mid-Ranger COE, its first medium-duty truck. Shared with Peterbilt, the Brazilian-produced Mid-Ranger was derived from the MAN G90 (a wide-body version of the Volkswagen LT[22]). In 1992, the Mid-Ranger became the K300, as PACCAR shifted production to Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
A model truck without a bunch of chrome crap to strip and a set of simplified mirrors ...absolutely fantastic !!
Such a FUN kit that you can do so much with!!! 👍👍
Great review of the kit. A friend of mine will love it when I tell him about it. Keep up the great work.
Built this kit in 74, I was 15, wow! This is a awesome model for anyone who loves to build. Just so happens I've been thinking about getting back in the mix and looked at every one of your videos last night to see if you've covered this truck, and presto! Must be a sign, thank you, subscribed.
@@dleifteHsemaJ Hey that's great you're going to love it! I built the Transport Trailer too so I could display a few cars. Reply here when you get it built, I'd like to see some pics, most of all have a good time, at 15 I sure did. 😊
I just finished building this kit and loved how customizable it was with all the extra pieces.
Would love to see you build this on the channel and maybe pair it with the AMT Peerless Roadrunner logging kit.
Really hope you build this kit, be interesting to see your custom work on it.
Great looking rig - would be fun building this one.
I counted the rivets Chris. Missing 2 and they missed 3.5 grain lines in the dash 😋😋. Great review! Thanks
Cool ride 😎
W925用の不要部品が丸々入ってんのが初版の美点をそのまま引き継いでて凄いやぁね☆
I built the original back in the late 70s,had it on the dashof my international cabover,a drive on vacation from the haul road bought it for a $100, said it looked like his work horse in Alaska
There’s a a Smithsonian article from the early 70s detailing the typical trip from Texas to Alaska. Lots of good reference photos.
Sure like to find that - have a few pics with them pulling a tarped flatbed with side panels, but an article would be super.
Thanks for the review Sir! I'll definitely be grabbing and building this one! I love the fact that there's no chrome parts with this particular tractor!
Was my 1st kit back in early 80's. Great memories.
Great unboxing! I built this kit when i was 14 or 15. I had built maybe 10 or 12 truck kits by then. back then, I was quite put off that the kit did NOT have the chromed parts (now, I wish they ALL came like that). I'm really glad the @round2models #round2models gang brought it back without the chrome. I also appreciate the level they've been putting into their decal offerings. I especially like the paddle door handles (and they give you 2 pair!) what a nice way to be able to update the truck and make it a post 1972 version. I can wait to see your build video on this. thanks for posting these great videos!
The sleeper is nick named "coffin sleeper" because one way in, one way out.
You need to build this truck! This is the next kit on my shopping list!
Got mine waiting to build it. Great video Chris, keep em coming and I'll keep watching.
This kit is the original, "Ice Road Trucker." The 2nd saddle tank on the right is a propane tank. This kit also comes with a 20lbs propane tank. There's a video on TH-cam title, " Arctic Convoy With Giant Mack Trucks" Would explain why propane was used.
And with the actual photos of these out there, they usually had a flatbed with short type stake panels and tarp.
Thanks for the review. I was torn between this one and the Australian version, but the lack of all that chrome parts sold me on this kit. I think they go overboard on some of the chrome ... it's nice to let the modeler decide to chrome or not. Maybe back in the day, but in this time period, we have plenty of chrome paint (good chrome paint) to choose from if we want to go in that direction. Also, it's great they include the chain. Now I can take that to Hobby Lobby and match it for other models. I can't find your video where you gave us the brand (Master Gallery?) and part number for the correct chain to scale size.
I'm definitely needing this kit now, thanks for the review !!! 😇👍🏼
love to see you build and paint that.
The sleeper on those old Kenworths you did have to crawl through that tiny opening to get into the sleeper. Also on the cab side you had a roll up window that would separate the cab from the sleeper. Kenworth didn't go to the full length opening until I think it was 1975 or 76 model year. 1975 is when Kenworth offered the 63" walkin sleeper. Keep on modelin
wow the molds look good on this one i love to get my hands on this one soon keep them coming
Like building the truck kits.. just awesome 😀
Just a difference between the crawl through sleepers and the walk-in style, either one beats sleeping under the frame like they had in the 30s
Looks like a great kit ,thanks for sharing 👌
That's good that round 2 coming out with a lot of old kits I have around 100 I picked up back in the day at truck stops anyway I'm a retired truck driver now wish I could get back in to building them again just can't find the motivation anymore two cents worth
Really great work as usual Chris stay safe and positive keep up the amazing work
Great wet noodle great chain great truck great review great video looking forward to more builds and review thanks
hpiguys Workshop This is A real Nice Kit Review for this Alaskan Hauler Chris.I can hardly wait till you start putting this Awesome kit Together..I always enjoy watching all your Video's..👍👍👍👍👍
I have bought 2 of this kit and have been waiting for you to do this build! I'm really excited to watch this as soon as I get home! I really hope you please do a build on this!!!
My very first semi build back in 1975
Great review, Thank you👍🏻. I have this truck on it's way from Hobby Lobby (on sale for 29.99). I don't really understand why the put a fancy piece of jewelry for the chain, that is probably more expensive and looks wrong, I will replace it with a normal chain and keep the one from the box to make a necklace for my hairy chest. I will also be extremely vigilant on the amount of rivets, don't try to get smart, AMT. Apparently this particular truck had only one exhaust stack (there is 2 in the box), so either I'll try to fit 2 if possible or, if not, remember to fill-up the stack holes on the driver side, same thing for the driver's side air filter, there is just one on the passenger side. I became addicted to AMT's flaws, it's more challenging, not a fan of Tamiya's boring perfection.Thanks for the video, I can't wait to see and start this cool looking thing.👋🏻
Back in those years, the bunk was accesed through the back window. So this kit is accurate
Nice!
Nice kit mate👍
I couldn’t agree more on the chrome! I wish they would just eliminate it. We can paint chrome parts and still keep the detail.
Nice unboxing. It seems like AMT got the part numbers on this one. Hopefully, this kit isn’t an exercise in frustration like many of the AMT big trucks can be. Thanks for sharing.
I noticed on the decal sheet,on the dash decals the one on the right looks messed up
Nice big rig kit
How's that quick shine multi surface floor finish holding up , on the 78 Ford Firestone ?
I'm trying to build a oilfield type headache rack and winch to mount on my mack r model with the lowboy! Thinking about using the winch from the peterbilt wrecker model? But I don't think there is a model made of a big truck headache rack? What would you do in this case?
Yes Chris that small hole is the sleeper, they call them coffin bunks, very big in the 70's
Cool, thanks for the information, always helpful.
About the chrome on kits, the problem is that, even if you're okay with the look of it, there is, most of the time a sprue attachment that is going to ruin it...
Yes it a sleeper bunk yes when kenworth built the real truck in 1970 you had to crawl through cab window into the sleeper bunk
We call it a cafin because when in it it's like your in a cafin.
So it is the sleeper, not a storage unit
You picked a fine to leave me loose wheel
I got one of those kits back in around 1976. It seemed a rare model back then. I didn't see the fenders and headlights with the chequer plate to make the non flip front version. Great kit, painted it British Racing Green and Post Office Red. Big love from Essex UK
Im another builder collector from Essex uk too 👍
That bonnet does not look like the box art...
comes with 2 hoods the one on box is in this kit
