Peterbilt 359 Carlile Transportation

[Joris]

The Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359 "Alaskan Hauler" kit, made into a true "what-if" Alaskan hauler. I adapted the hood to a fibreglass hood, many thanks to Tim Ahlborn for giving me that tip. Also I cut down the bunk, and inadvertently "suicided" the sleeper doors… Headache rack and deck plating adapted, as well as a scratch-built Track & Trace dome. Of course the inspiration for this truck came from History Channel's Ice Road Truckers, so I made a Push-Truck bumper on the front. Mandatory beacons and extra lights. Also I put on Italeri Peterbilt tanks.

The lift axle is not a drive axle, but still has double wheels. The Carlile Transportation theme was a no-brainer; decals again by www.modeltruckin.com.
