Default Re: Custom build of a Kenworth C509 as autralian roadtrain

Hey Farmpastor, great question and one I am struggling with too. In fact I’ve just emailed Kenworth Australia directly last week with a request around where best to access plans and will see what they say.

I’m picking that you have faced the same issue as me in that there are plenty of downloadable ‘blueprints’ available on the internet but none seem very accurate from what I’ve seen. The drawing used at the start of this thread that the OP has worked from is the type of quality I am after so I’m interested in their reply to your question too.

I’ve actually just ordered a 1:25 Revell plastic W900 model kit to scale up measurements from in combination with photo references off the net. I’ll use these as a base for my custom build.

To the OP, The truck in this thread is such an inspiring build and some great craftsmanship shown. Very nicely done!

Cheers, Kurt.
