Revell Peterbilt 359 Farm Truck

Recommended Posts

Here’s a 359 I built about 18 months ago, but never posted here. Representing a modern day version of a truck that is still serving it’s owner well after all the years. D93763F8-BB28-45BE-B64B-51BD09997E5C.thumb.jpeg.2e237148ed4be38180f4e65ac07284b1.jpegI posted it on the MCM forum, so some of you may have seen it already. It was an enjoyable build, and my second venture into weathering, which I now find to be much easier to build than a showroom clean model - it’s harder to screw it up, mistakes can be disguised.

Thanks guys, I imagined it as if it had just come in from the fields during a wet harvest. Run on a budget, the owner only replaces individual tires and other parts as needed.

Thanks again guys. Yes, these are good kits, especially with a few additions. I agree, the number one thing  - replace the kit wheels and tires. That itself goes a long way.

I can't add anything new, I really enjoyed the pics, she does look the part, I really think the missing paint on the hood is a nice touch.... great build ..

Thanks guys!

The missing/chipped hood paint is the plain white portion of a leftover decal, torn up. Simple and effective.
