Peterbilt 359 Rebuilder

Recommended Posts

My very first truck kit I built was a Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359. I built it with some flaws, and I chose the wrong color for the frame. This year, more than 10 years later, I decided to rebuild it. I left the frame untouched, but I brought the hood, cab and sleeper more in style, swapping silver for cherry red. Also I scratchbuilt a Texas tapered bumper, and redid the headache rack. The BMF on the bumper didn't go on exactly as I wanted, so I tried masking that a little with an oversize banner. Beacons on the sleeper to keep in theme. The tanks I need to redo again, not completely happy with how they turned out...

Thanks! The headache rack is the panels from the kit, deepened with some styrene strips. BMF all over.
