Revell Auto Hauler Transport Semi Trailer 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build Review and Weathering 85-1509

Wow that's awesome 👌yeah I may have to get one 😀

Nice job!!..

Very nice mate👍

Another great build Chris! I just have one complaint. I know it's your channel. But, too many commercials!

I built 1 of these a few years ago turned really nice. I like the kit so much I just picked up 3 more kits from ebay 2 weeks ago. KUTGW

This one is on my "wish list" since forever - so glad for rerelease - just hope it won't be for a "limited" run! Yes - will save on precious precious shelf space.... Anyone courageous enough to to go for a "stinger" rack for the tractor???

Very awesome sir....!! (Was hoping to see a little more time and angles with cars on it though..)

Who doesn't need one of these??? Super cool build.

l'm toying with a scratch built version from the late 40's using AMT's "lowboy" trailer as a base. Obviously holding a max of 5 cars and very limited hydraulic ramp movement. Plus the port hole/ribbed siding limiting cargo view. I've used styrene channel for the actual tread path/ ramps. What you may wish to add here are lengths of plastic band strapping placed within the channel. It is "crosshatched"and gives great effect. Lots of work ahead for me but thought I'd pass the tip to you.

What an amazing looking trailer

Can't wait to see the build of the chrome tanker! Great job on the car hauler!

How many cars was this trailer designed to carry????

Wow, I just love this channel ! Awesome job again and great back story with Ace Cars !!! GOD Bless !!! 😇👍🏼

I've been enjoying your videos. Any ideas for modeling with only one hand? Can't remember stand with adjustable arms and alligator clips on the ends. I think it was called mechanical fingers used in electronics. Any suggestion would be much appreciated!

Try a satin coat on the chrome and let us see how you like it or not

Must have been a Ford transporter with all those oil stains in the middle. Lol. Terrific work as usual good sir!

Will this hook up with most cabs of 1/25 th scale including AMT's?

I noticed about 10 minutes into your build you mentioned the hitch pin was broken off. I bought this same model and, low and behold, mine was broken off also. Must be a factory thing. Great build.

I gotta be honest man my favorite part of your videos is when you hand paint the pieces the attention to detail that you add to them is amazing you give them the look of everyday use if they where life size keep up the good work buddy

Dose it attached to the semi truck

They remove a lot of structural members in this model. I guess they were trying to save on how much plastic was being used.

Well this one is cool. I’m a car hauler in real life. Thanks for doing this one

Just getting around to building mine. Did you have shifted seem lines like me? Took hours to clean up. Mine also had a broken king pin.
Painting mine like one I see near me. Need to stretch my peterbilt tractor and lengthen the sleeper. Love the weathering.
Stay safe buddy 🌲

You're right about the ramps.

I have the original release from the 80s, Looks the same was a good kit then

Well I watched the video several times and bought the trailer and now I have a very strange question.. Can you tell me how high it is from the table to the top of car #11??? I am making a shadow box for the trailer and tractor and would like to make it before I complete the trailer...

Anyone else notice the instructions are wrong about the bumper. The box art has the low part of the bumper touching the frame and the instructions call for the bumper wings to be even with the frame. I noticed it after it was painted 🙈😔

Very nice build, i ordered this model this week and the Peterbilt 359 conventional for the display. I had also some us cars to fill the Trailer.

do you do 1:64 scale paint?

Can it roll

Well, here I am again with a big problem this time.. I have lost parts... Is there any way to get replacement parts???

two questions for you. the first is can I still find these trailers to assemble?. the second question is on the auto trailers we see today the semi has a platform to put a car on the semi. Is it possible for me to create something like that ? and what would I use thanks!

Anyone know 1/24 Tamiya cars fit on there?

I absolutely love how you have little backstorys for your builds.

The build turned out great, excellent work! I have built one myself a couple of years back, but I also noticed that modern 1/24 scale cars like a Ferrari Enzo (or a Jaguar XJ220) don't actually fit on the trailer...

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .

Did you have any issues with hooking up the hydraulic hoses?

Do you think this would hold diecast cars or just resin/plastic models?

Looks great, as always! Thanks for the video. Near my house there is a ginormous lot that sells to dealers only. One day I saw a trailer jammed full of vintage muscle cars. All of the cars on top were first-generation Camaros. You are an ace at weathering. Cool on you!

Do you ever have to thin your bottle paints? I always have to. Thanks!

How do I get that car carrier can you send me one

My kit didn't have the chains so i used some cheap jewelry for little kids chain.

I like the detail oil effect on the drip strip between the frame rails but when the dealer sees it on his lot when the NEW cars arrive he just might send them back. I for one wouldnt want purchase a new vehicle leaking oil all over the place. 😊

I would love to see them make the car carrier that has the tractor trailer truck. That is incorporated with the frame work to hold the cars on it and the trailer.

You make this one seem simple! Then again, the full-size auto transport trailer’s utilitarian design and its open form both lend themselves to an ease of the kit’s construction, and in painting it realistically, which Revell AG’s adaptation of the actual apparatus uses to good effect on both counts.
This trailer kit is noticeably larger and rather sturdier than its AMT predecessor. A key concern would be what tractor would pull it, toward making a creditable display; a Kenworth or a Peterbilt might seem obvious. Would such a cab have a sleeper?
Additionally, this auto transport trailer looks to me to be relatively new (I understand the kit dates from 1987, though this feels premature); therefore, some of the available kits of tractors (of relatively limited choices) could be a generation or more older, so something more contemporaneous might prove more realistic.
Also, the automakers would place in the lead a vehicle of its own manufacture; for Ford automobiles, this might be the Ford L 9000, and for General Motors products, perhaps the GMC General Tractor (or something similar). I note all this because I would need to find a suitable model kit to pair with the trailer replica; for me, the best available option would be the Ford L 9000. I would appreciate your feedback on technical and historical accuracy.
That is the key: accuracy.

Thank You Great Build I have this model now I know how to do it My way Thank You 🐎Mr. ED Says Just Have Fun Modeling. Oh I am going to get me some aftermarket chain binders

Had this kit back in the 90s and put it together. Was destroyed in a household move. Purchased again after seeing this video. A bit disappointed this time. Using Testors liquid, a lit of parts are breaking, read that 'snapping' when the glue is simply applied to them. Muddling through it though. Enjoy the videos!
