Kenworth W925 Coca Cola Semi Tractor 1/25 Scale Model Kit Review Unboxing AMT 1286 W-925

[@michaelcooke2559]

Great unboxing. Can’t wait to build a couple of these. Thanks for sharing.

[@JackFlemingFan1]

As usual thanks for posting yet another excellent model kit review, Chris!

[@j1clarke]

It's the rig from the first Smokey and the Bandit movie.

[@IamGalvatron]

With some customization it can definitely be Snowman’s truck

[@michaelcooke2559]

Yes it is. I’ve been waiting on this one to be re-released for quite a while.

[@garysprandel1817]

@@IamGalvatron just did the Watkins KW as Snowman back in April. Pretty much built it up stock with the only mods done was to place the driver's side CB antenna mounted to the heat shield on the stack and added the extra amber light to each side of the hood to match screen grabs from the movie.

[@garysprandel1817]

Amusing thing is the kit was actually released a couple years before Smokey And The Bandit as the Movin On TV series KW.

[@saltields7649]

Can’t wait to get that one and a Christmas Coke trailer, to go with it.

[@bengardiner3867]

Nice unboxing and Eval on the differences. I bought a NOS to build a "Movin' On" rig and used a few of your techniques. I did a black primer on the cab, hood and (60") sleeper then the jade green paint and got the results I had been looking for; nice deep green! Doing a flat clear on the chrome parts is a fantastic idea as it looks less of a toy now.

Great unboxing review Chris! I have split those wheel rings many times too on these AMT heavy truck kits!

[@southernrocker9278]

Hope you can find the time to put it together Thank you.

I'm just getting into this hobby, and bought my first model on the weekend. Bought a Peterbilt wrecker model from AMT with a 1/25 scale. As a beginner, do you recommend investing in an air compressor/ model sprayer, or start off with rattle cans for painting. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I opened the box today, and wow, what have I gotten myself into !!

[@waynehawkins9090]

I started the Watkins version years ago. Had some fitment issues. Put it back in the box for later.

[@rtistik94]

Nice review, man. Looks like it would be a fun one.

[@robertcates4066]

Looks like a cool model, think I'll have to it, I don't build trucks, but the auxiliary trans, is a cool idea!! I was a trans technician I n my working days!!!!

[@mitchellambrose2293]

Very similar to the old "moving on" kit. I had one about 40 years ago.

[@kennyspaulding796]

I had one of those to. I wish they would rerelease it with the correct sleeper. I also wish I kept the box it came in.

[@IamGalvatron]

@@kennyspaulding796 you can get the Revell W900 kit and get some decals to make a far more accurate Movin on truck

[@kennyspaulding796]

@@IamGalvatron I know it's possible to make decals on line but I have no idea how to do that. I wish I could find someone that can do that. I looked up the truck you were referring to and yes that's the one.

[@IamGalvatron]

@@kennyspaulding796 there’s a site that has the decals.

[@derrellreynolds6226]

Very nice kit. Thank you for sharing. 👍

[@maryfiltz800]

Looks like it would be a great model.

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Cool kit mate👍

[@wayneimazumi5299]

The only thing I hate is the cab mounts that needs to modify to fit right

[@justinmyslive4108]

I have to be honest. I'm disappointed this kit didn't get built

[@garysprandel1817]

Built it back in 74 75 as the Movin On KWhopper then built it again 2 years ago as Snowman and may have to pick it up again and redo the Movin On semi again but a lot better than 13 14 year old me did. Oh yes generally has some fit issues both original plus some very minor age issues ( though those could also be original as it has been nearly 50 years) that were covered in a glaze of childhood nostalgia that tried my patience and improved skills over the years that 13 14 year old me said screw it and didn't put those parts in. Yep no dash decals. Ultra fine brush and the illuminated magnifying cheater headset

[@devinrussell493]

This kit can be kitbashed with the Kenworth W900A conventional tractor by Revell U.S.A and Revell Germany kits as the kits are all the same scale.I have the Kenworth W900A Aerodyne conventional tractor by Revell U.S.A that I have modified to be even more detailed. One of the details that I added to my kit,is the Big rig wheel and tire set part number 1010 by Moebius Models;as the original wheels & tires that came with the kit,were too thin & skinny and were poorly designed and molded.I have used some .5mm & .8mm black vinyl stretch cord used for making craft jewelry to simulate insulated electrical wires,oil,fuel,and airlines.

[@woodddj]

I’ve assembled a few models over the years, mostly cars. I want to try my luck with a semi but I haven’t touched a model kit in a few years. I want to do a Coca Cola rig and have seen a few that AMT offer. Between the Kenworth, Western Star, GMC or even the cab over Petebilt , which would you consider to be a great build for me to ease myself back into the Hobby? I know some kits can be a little more challenging, so im open to all opinions.

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

Great review, thanks for sharing. Do you know if they made any improvements to this kit or is it basically the same as the original? Thanks, Have a great day. -David

[@bobhoward6676]

Now completed, would you let me buy it for a friend?

[@hpiguy]

You can buy models at the links in the description, I do not sell products myself. Thanks!
