Reviews : Revell-Monogram Auto Transport Trailer

A fun kit to build, but being the 1st full length trailer kit for me, it was kind of awkward to build on my work bench. Lots of simulated hydraulic hose included that is very small and challenging to terminate on the manifolds. The instructions show the rearmost frame cross member different than what is shown on the box cover pic. Trust the box pic and it will come out correct. Also, the fenders over the wheels assy was broken on the tree due to the fender support being very flimsy IMHO. So I added some support to strengthen them. Speaking of the wheels, my kit was shorted the wheel parts tree which, I believe is chrome, so my trailer sits unfinished until Revell can supply Hobbylinc with some more kits. The tires were included - just no wheels. Currently this kit is out of stock. I sure hope Revell gets their act together soon so I can finish this trailer. I really like it!

I've now built two of these trailers and enjoyed both. The detail is great and the kit goes together pretty easily. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Definitely need to take your time and not rush. Some of the parts need to be held for a while to allow the glue to work. The only challenge in my opinion are the hydraulic lines. The first one I didn't add the, but the second I did. Two of the pictures are off a little where the lines go, but easily figured out. The only gripe I have, the cylinders don't have any small standoffs for the lines to attach to. They controls and the distribution blocks do, which makes attaching them easy. Holding the lines while the glue dried was tiring. But that is my only negative issue about this kit. When I build an other, I will drill small holes and add a small amount of wire to attach the lines to.

Nice big model. Many thinner parts with mold lines. Rims are gray painted them with chrome. Nice rubber tires but they are soft. Wish i had stuffed them with paper or cloth to fill them out. Instructions are not bad, but some areas are confusing. Decals include red and white frame decals, but the instructions say to paint the frame red. I would choose another color. Has plenty of tubing for hydraulic lines. The hydraulic cylinders have no points of connection. I used a pin vise to drill small holes in the cylinders, then a inserted a small wire in one end to fit the holes i drilled. I also used a smaller wire in the tubing to help shape it. Overall not a bad kit. Will make a great way to display some finished kits.

I’ve built this kit 3 times and going to order another. I like this kit very much it’s a replica of the trailer I hauled when I was driving truck I worked for a car hauling company. The trailer I pulled was just like this one. I built this trailer and painted it as to how my truck and trailer looked. I got several cars I need a trailer to display them on I highly recommend this kit it’s 23 inches long when built. I’m building a Kenworth truck too and scratch building a head rack on the truck to haul the 7 th car. I’m very grateful I stumbled upon hobbylinc.pro to purchase trucks and trailers I have purchased several trucks and trailers already and continue checking this site for new kit's.

I love this kit. I would have rated it 5 Stars if only it had chrome wheels. The flash was barely noticeable, a quick sand job was all that was needed. The instructions were excellent to follow. Parts fit was spot on, no adjustments needed and the detail is great. Just a beautiful kit. Also included in this kit are tie down chains and the air lines. If only they would have given included some chrome wheels. I painted mine bright red to match the semi Im building. I would recommend this kit to builders with a few kits under their belt.

spent a lot of time scraping flash and mold lines , 5th wheel post was broken in the box , hose layout was sketchy , instructions vague on some things , like the rear bumper , mount it like the picture on the box , not as the instruction say . Hobbylinc is a nice source for info from other builders that helped a lot building this . more in processes pics from builders on all kits can only make it even better . I only recommend this kit because it provides a better view of car models in the racks .

box not wrapped with that clear wrapping just tapped on the bottom. didn't like that! but...I haven't figured it out yet but seems to be missing one part, not worried about that I'll make it if I can. I'll do the best I can wjth that over all I'm real happpy with it. Thank You, Roy Phoenix

Excellent model. READ THE DIRECTIONS FIRST. I had problems but was able to correct them. The mechanism to lower and raise the back was difficult. I would rate this model a 6 for difficulty. In the end I was able to fit six models in the carrier. I am happy with the lessons I learned doing this model. The end result is a beautiful model.

I wanted this transport trailer in order to display six of my cars at a time. I combined this with a Kenworth W900 Truck. The trailer is an excellent model with good detail. The assembly instructions were clear and easy to follow. The assembly went easily and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would recommend this model to anyone.

This is an amazing piece to the collection! There is no flash, pieces are well detailed and fit together great! I was looking for something to display my models on, and this is it! I of course had to get the Revell Peterbilt 359. Directions are pretty well laid out for you and they are easy to understand! Another great kit by Revell!

This kit is way easier than the instructions would lead you to believe. All parts fit very well with little or no cleanup. Try as I did, my big hands and faulty eyes made installing the hoses out of my league. Honest Injun, I tried. Got the chains on though. Looks great on the shelf. Have at it and have fun!

Molded in aluminum/gray color very little painting needed. Some small parts need cleaning up. Very good detail on hydraulic hoses. Holds 6 or 7 cars. Will need about 32 inches shelf space depending on tractor size. be patient, test fit moving parts before gluing. U se super glue for robber lines.

This was a Christmas gift a few years ago, it wasn't too difficult especially being a 3. I did get a little rough and broke a rod on one of the main cylinders. A little glue and some careful sanding got it good as new. It really looks good full of old hotrods!

This is an excellent kit to build. Quality castings with detailed easy to follow instructions. It is definitely a level five kit. I got this kit to free up some space in my display case by loading five of my 1/25 scale classic auto builds.

VERY LITTLE FLASHING. LOTS OF PARTS AND MOVING PARTS. THIS KIT IS KING IN MY BOOKS. LOVE THE FACT THEY HAVE HOSES FOR HYDRAULICS AND CHAIN FOR MORE REALISM. I WAITED SINCE LAST SEPT. 2020 TO GET THIS KIT, AND IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT.

The kit is well designed and will become highly functional once fully completed. Will be an awesome way to store and display any model cars of the same scale and also add some realism to anyone's modeling displays.

Very nice kit, very little flash, parts fit nicely. Don't panic when cutting chain, the cutting template is further back in the instructions. Highly recommend this, even just to have it in your collection.

An inexperienced builder might find this very challenging. Takes some patience, can't be in a hurry with this one if you want things to go together correctly. If done properly a very nice trailer

Once this item was off of back order. They shipped it fast and well packed. When I opened it it looked good. Can't wait to put it together. I will post pictures when it is finished.

A lot of clean up needed and I had to heat and bend the main framework to make it hook up to the 5th wheel plate on the tractor. All in all, a decent kit and not hard to build.

This kit was a bit of a challenge but turned out quite nice. Great details with air hoses, hold down chains, tools, etc. Also purchased the Kenworth W900 to accompany it.

Ordered this kit with a few other kits. Very detailed kit. Going together very well. Will post pics once it's completed and I figure out how to upload them

Been looking for the semi transport for a while now .product arrived just fine .this kit can hold 5-6 cars and trucks . Great for diorama or display .

able to use parts for making other types of vehicle carriers , and building complete trailer was very easy and looks good

Cool way for displaying your models. It may look complicated but if you just follow the instructions, you're all set.

awesome kit Displays 6 cars nicely, chains and hoses included. lots of styrene need good amount of paint loved it!

This auto transport car carrier is a very good kit. Needed a little tweaking, but overall a great choice.

Great kit goes together well, very well defined directions, another hit from Revell. highly recommended!

Great car hauler for older trucks. A very well detailed kit. If you like truck models it's a must have.

i spent close to 6 months looking for a car hauler.for being level 3 it was easy to put together.

Ive had one like this before years ago im getting back into building model trk kits again.

Good kit with a few rough spots, that are easily overcome. Definitely would recommend.

This model is another amazing replica by revell would have not thought anything less.

nice model good detail not recommended for beginners but fun and good time passer

Nice detailed kit. Did require some prep to get rid of casting marks.

Opened the box and the kit looks great. Cant wait to get started.

Package is not damaged and all contents seem to be here...
