Reviews : AMT Wilson Livestock Van Trailer

Great kit, but for me, an adventure in patience. AMT messed up and my kit came with 2 left sides and no right side. Sides are almost identical, being mirror images, so I did not catch it until setting up to paint. Kit was 1/2 way built and sitting idle. Two months go by, mainly due to Christmas holidays (or what I was told) and finally the part from AMT arrives, so I could finish the trailer. As someone else mentioned, rear roller door was frustrating. I think that AMT did not allow for paint, so tracks in rear doors and rails in top, tend to hinder the smooth operation of the roller door. Despite including parts for holding and winching the spare tire on the front of the trailer, no spare tire/wheel is in the kit or shown in instructions. I robbed a tire and wheel from another kit and paired it up with my AMT Alaska Hauler. When completed, the trailer is quite strikingly realistic! Now, I catch myself checking out all the cattle trailers I see on the highway...lol.

I needed this for my Pig Pen build. On initial opening, I was kinda disappointed at the amount of casting flash. There was a large amount that had to be removed. After getting everything cleaned up, the details were present. It was a nicely detailed kit, but I suspect the molds are old and worn a bit. Assembly was pretty straight forward with minimal issues. The only thing I would recommend is sanding down the edges of the slide pieces to make them slide up and down smoother. I didn't do that and mine is rather tight when attempted to move it. If it weren't for the excessive flash, I think this would be a great kit.

Very little flash. Box came in without any damage. Looking forward to building this livestock trailer and adding it the freightliner double bunk cabover I am building. when done I will be sending pictures.

Nice kit. No significant issues. A little flash. No problem. Lots of lights to install. Make sure everything is square and you will have built a very nice trailer! Just pick your tractor and have fun!!

Very easy kit to assemble.I had very little flashing and took my time lining the walls up and it came out pretty straight.Id recommend this kit.

This was a fairly easy model to put together. The sliding rear door on the back of the trailer was a bit frustrating but turned out very well.

Kit showed up fast and undamaged. There's not a lot parts so it goes together quickly but detail is excellent.

works well with my DD Cabover kit was nice to build med. amount of clean up in tight spots fun to build

I really like livestock trailer I had it when I was a little boy I still got it to
