Hi Johnny.
I got the glad hands off ebay. They actually hook up to the fittings on the trailer, just like the real ones do.

Thanks Bro. I'm happy with the way she turned out

Thanks Johnny.
I used 24 gauge wire. I'm still waiting for the glad hands to show up.

Thanks.
I'm not really a fan of chrome wheels, or the rectangular headlights. I'm going for the old school retro look.

2 hours ago, vincen47 said:Nice build, I like the stretch and the spare on the frame. The display is great, very appropriate for a heavy haul tractor.
Thanks. It was a bugger to modify but it worked out good.

This is my 1977 Kenworth W900 Heavy Haul.
I used the AMT Kenworth Alaskan Hauler kit - as the base Tractor. I lengthened the kit frame from 12.25 inches - to 14.25 inches
The Rims & Tires are from an AMT Autocar Dump Truck kit
The background pic is one of the Refineries located in Fort Mc Murray, Alberta. The Road diorama is Highway 63 - northern Alberta.

Thanks Sir!

This is the Revell Peterbilt 359 that I'm currently building.
These pics are mock ups:
2 - Hole Bud Rims (to axles)
Hood, Cab, Sleeper (to frame)
The frame will be lengthened to 13 inches (1:25 scale) (27.08 feet in 1:1 scale)
The paint scheme is Tamiya Matte Black
I will be adding 2 - 150 gallon fuel tanks & a Vortex V2 Air Cleaner

Thanks.
It turned pretty good

Hi & thanks!
I used Rustoleum Painter's Choice, which I find to be excellent paint & cheaper than Model Paint.

So,
My next build will be the Revell Peterbilt 359 Kit. I'll be stretching the frame considerably as I'm using 2 Kits - to make 1 Tractor, adding polished aluminum 8" stacks, better rubber (using the Italeri 22.00 x 11.5 tires), adding a set of Fuel Tanks so I'll have 4 fuel tanks as opposed to just 2, Air & Electrical lines, some deck plates, a set of 1950's / 60's Bullet Style Head Lights, a Vortex Air Cleaner, Custom Front & Rear Fenders, Rear Bumper with 6 Tail Lights, Custom Texas Front Bumper & the over all color will be Rustoleum Key Lime. Pics will be posted!
