And again the Kenworth tractor unit had to be used for a conversion. I saw this high-gloss aluminum tipping body in brochures from the American body manufacturer Truckweld and suggested it to my colleagues at Revell. At the next innovation meeting, my suggestion was accepted and I was able to develop the trough, I already had the right trailer in mind, you can see it in the next picture. This dump truck was presented as a novelty in the 1994/95 catalogue.
Yes, it’s the same model as above, a Kenworth W900 with the addition of a bullbar and should be an Australian version. I was also allowed to develop a tandem trailer to go with it, on which the Kenworth tipper body also fitted. What nobody but me knew, I had designed the subframe of the trough so that it also fit on the chassis of the Peterbilt 359 tractor unit.
