About product

Tyrone Malone's Kenworth Custom Drag Truck 1:25 from AMT

A kit of a plastic model of a Kenworth tractor modified for drag racing exhibition runs. The model is in the classic American automotive scale of 1:25 and is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a set of injection-molded plastic parts. A truck tractor in this scale is a sizable piece of a model with a tall cab, a long frame and big wheels, so it suits use as a show piece for a display case too. Check the exact contents of the package, the number of parts and the extent of the decals on the packaging.

The real subject

A drag truck is a truck tractor modified for runs on a drag strip, that is for a short sprint instead of long-haul economy. Tyrone Malone was among the best known figures of this spectacle, and his modified Kenworths ran at American meetings known among the spectators above all by the name of their owner. Compared with a production tractor, a vehicle like this has a modified and lightened cab, a reworked frame and a drivetrain tuned for maximum acceleration. The actual technical parameters of the vehicle do not follow from the name and are not stated.

Building and painting tips

With truck models it pays to build and paint the frame with the drivetrain and the cab separately and to join them only at the end. Paint the frame in a dark shade and let the details stand out on it with a dry brush; the cab, by contrast, needs smooth gloss paint. Do not paint the chrome-plated parts, just clean up the sprue gate marks carefully; where the chrome is rubbed off, it can be made up with metallic paint. Apply the decals, if they are part of the package, onto a gloss base and unify the whole model with a clear coat at the end. Fit the tires only once the paint has been finished, so that they do not get dirty.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American tractors and truck models
  • Anyone interested in drag racing exhibition runs and modified vehicles
  • Modelers who want a big and striking model for a display case
  • Builders with experience of gloss paint and chrome

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A truck tractor modified for runs on a drag strip. Compared with a production vehicle it has a modified cab, a reworked frame and a drivetrain tuned for a short sprint.

It is not. It is a kit of injection-molded plastic; the model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

Yes, 1:25 is a common American automotive scale and models in it sit well side by side, and beside cars in 1:24 as well.

A tractor is more straightforward to build than a racing car with an exposed engine, but the gloss paint of the cab and the chrome-plated parts want patience. A careful beginner can manage it.
