How to Build the White-Freightliner Dual Drive Tractor 1:25 Scale AMT Model Kit #A620 Review. Copyright 2017 Right On Replicas, LLC. All rights reserved.
Doug, in regard to the sleeper bed, if you freeze at 6:47 if you look at the "doghouse" (engine hump) you'll see where the diamond tuck stops...and in line with that is that small threshold portion of the floor (behind the seats). THAT is where you want that bulkhead to be placed. Basically, if you move the bunk (bed) forward...toward the front of the interior tub, even with that detail on the doghouse, the interior length will better match the inner cab. The problem with this kit is it was engineered to give the option of 2 totally different trucks with minimal tooling expense. I will also note, that if building the sleeper as provided, the curtain would actually hide the sleeper interior and there is really no need to include the bunk at all anyway. If you get the 75th annv. combo kit (options to build either the double axle, sleeper or single axle, "day cab" in one kit, you'll be better see where the original AMT designers were coming from (and kudos to them for trying to make such a versatile model in the first place). I have built both versions so far and they have both turned out to please my eye, although I will admit, during both builds, I thought they were going to turn out like junk....glad I stuck with them. To sum up, these kits do show their age and wear on the original molds but, I praise @AMT and @ roundtwo models for their efforts. My last remarks are for YOU Doug: @Right On Replicas ...THANK You this and ALL your videos, you really make time away from the modeling bench very worth while.
it would be nice if you coould do a reveiw/build video on the AMT White Freightliner 2-in-1 SC/DD Cabover Tractor (75th Anniversary) 1:25 Scale Model Kit
Do you happen to have a video build of AMT's Kenworth w925 longnose tractor re-issue? It goes with AMT's Fruehauf Watkins reefer trailer, both originally from around 1970. The Kenworth was re-issued last June of 2017. Would love to see a build of that kit.
@@RightOnReplicas this was the first model (truck) i ever built, and i didnt paint it before i assembled it for a few reasons.(still rookie mistake on my end) and i susbscribed! also, would you recommend using model paint from jars or air brush paint for these? i have little jars of paint with white lids. their about an inch tall.
RG, Larger parts like these look best when spray painted. You can use the paint from small bottles with a little thinner in an airbrush too. Thanks! -Doug
RB, I think that the the breather and the rocker arm covers are all chrome plated even though the instructions don't indicate that! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I built this kit 2 years ago. I decided to go with the colors on the box, retro and true to the era. (My first real tractor was a 1976 White Freightliner, 350 Cummins with a 13 speed). I used some of the decals (ICC numbers, etc.) but I painted everything else. Even though I had a Cummins, I opted for Cat yellow for the old reliable 3406. Great fun for a winter project which now resides in a clear display case.
I took my class A driving test in A c 124 ihc 5 spd with a 3 spd axu twin stick pulling a John deer backhoe in 1977 my first road rig was a 1964 Coe white freightliner with a 350 big cam ll cummmings and a 5 x 3 and a 45 ft 18 inch stepdeck trailer hay hauling in north eastern colo.air ride seats
Where do you put all your models? You really have a great collection. I know why you got the car hauler. Too bad they don't offer a better selection of trailers. There is a huge number of ideas that would make great models. I have this exact kit and still haven't built it. Had it since 1997 and got it because of a local hobby shop flood. I got the truck for $3.00 as it had one corner dipped in water.. Nice build.
GV, the kits come from a variety of sources, hobby stores, online at HobbyLinc, MegaHobby and auction sites, swap meets, manufacturer's samples, even garage sales! Whatever looks interesting. -Doug
How do you connect the cab to the chassis without breaking anything? I’m somewhat new to model building and this is the most challenging build I’ve done so far.
SE, That can be a challenge. Carefully put the cab in place before applying glue to see where the contact points are. Just make sure you don't put any pressure on the small pieces. when you know where those contact point are remove the cab and add some strong glue. Put it back together and fully seat the cab into place. Thanks for sharing and watching and please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers! -Doug
@@RightOnReplicas Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I had a few parts come off but I’m in the process of repairing. I found out that a few of my part placements were just slightly off (literally centimeters), and were rubbing against the cab when I tried to connect it. It’s definitely testing my patience but I’m going to keep going. Thanks again for the help. I’ve liked and subscribed and I’m sure I’ll be coming back for more videos. I’m planning on building the AMT big rig semi trailer next.
Wayne, Well, you can buy a JoHan kit and make a copy -or- watch eBay for a set to come up -or- look online. I found a set here www.gsakurak.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=635953 PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
JZ, Yes, some of the early kits did not feature numbered parts. Even when the kits are reissued they are still generally using the same molds. They only change the box art, decals and occasionally the instructions! -Doug
I am in the process of building this kit, and regarding the sleeper bed, I'm pretty sure how it's supposed to fit. The two interior tubs go together, then you put the bed with the rear of the bed piece lined up with the rear of the interior tub, then that front divider piece sits in front of the two tabs on the main interior tub, and rests against the bed. I haven't fully assembled the interior yet, but I think this is how it is supposed to be. AMT really needs to make new instructions for this kit. Thanks for the walkthrough, having reference colors is nice. They really should at least add a color guide to the instructions.
Hey Doug awesome build I have this kit coming Weds. I’m building this kit in honor of my dad RIP who was a trucker during the glory years(1960’s&70’s). My question is who can I get to make a set of custom decals to honor dad and the company he drove for? Also since he was a heavy hauler who makes chain racks to install on the back of the cab? Thanks a million and I’m a new subscriber and haven’t built a model since the early 80’s. Mike
Mike, If you have an inkjet printer and some decal paper you can make your own. A quick search on the web shows offerings like Bedlam Creation ( www.bedlamcreations.com/custom-waterslide-decals/custom-scale-model-waterslide-decals/ ). Just poke around - you'll find something. PS -Glad to have you back in the hobby! -Doug
Right On Replicas another question. I’m fixing to dive in to the Revell Peterbilt 359 kit and I am doing my own paint scheme etc. when I do my cab stripes do I do my main color of the truck first? Or do I mask off and paint my stripes first. I’m using 2mm Tamiya tape for masking
MW, It's easier to painte the stripe color on then mask them and paint the cab color last! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
K, Alclad chrome paint has been available for many years but the new Molotow only a few years. PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
I have subscribed :) I'll go take a look at both and see what I like better...got a 59 Cadillac that was supposed to come with foil for the trim that didn't...I tried some chrome imitation paint but it was such a full silver...
The Molotow works good for trim with some practice but you can also use the refill bottle to spray or brush paint. Alclad is a two part spray only. -Doug
Hello Doug I have a 5 ton Coca Cola truck that I cant find instructions for and have no idea were to start building.do you have any suggestions for were to find instructions or could you find the kit and build it to show me how.nice looking semi by the way the 5 ton is a steppingstone for me I’ve always wanted to build a flat nosed semi.thanks for the video
Right On Replicas it’s okay! I have a Mack and I found some parts from that same truck but I don’t have the directions, I want to use the airlines on my Mack instead
EH, That's where we can help with our step-by-step build reviews. We'll show you what the parts look like for each sub-assembly. PS - if you haven't already, please subscribe so that we can reach more modelers! -Doug
looks great Doug I've just started this kit yesterday started with that nasty seem in cab I see what you mean kinda off tricky so you won't lose body detail bad design not to impressed with AMT kits Revell makes a much nicer kit my opinion look forward to next build keep up good work
I think AMT attempts to add as much detail to their kits as possible. However, their old and worn out moulds are not up to standard anymore. Reminds me of the old saying, "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear". All you can do is keep slugging away at it and hope it comes out right. I wish Revell had made the same variety of model trucks.
EO, Those were some different color choices for a semi tractor, huh? -PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Wally, Most of the kits that are reissued simply use the old molds. Nothing changes for the parts themselves. It's usually just new decals and box art! PS, please subscribe if you haven't already to help us reach more modelers. -Doug
Right On Replicas I built this one a couple years ago,I don't remember having any trouble with the cab,and my interior didn't have a bed at all. It has the bulkhead separating the cab and sleeper and just had the curtain closed completely blocking the bunk area off. Must have been a quick fix. It had a fancy letter "C" right in the middle of it.I thought that was cool as my last name starts with C. I like your red and black ,I two toned mine,orange and black,with an orange frame.
I had this kit in the 70s but I moved the fuel tanks forward to match the one I drove mine had a twin turbo 8V92 13 speed it was a sweet truck all Diamond tuck interier the good old days
@@RightOnReplicas i had models as a kid from the 1970s. regret trashing them..looking at this classic for my book shelf...dad owned one in real life. i simply have an eye for this model

This is fantastic, thank you!
You're welcome, RB! -Doug
woodgrain works pretty well as a true wood "grain" for the dial dashboard faces

Thanks for the tip! -Doug
Doug I figured out the bed if you look at the tub it slides close to the back of the seats it helps tie the cab pieces in with eachother

Thanks MB! -Doug
Built this kit or simular one as a kid.The frame rails were warped out of the box, it went straight into M80 duty.

That bright red for the body does clash with the blue side decal. I guess the red has a lot of orange in it.

3:02 just a thought. For added detail you could paint the oil filters white as most oil filters for a Cummins are white
