Thanks! It's a completely different kit than the RoG 359, that's for sure. Neither are 100% perfect, but with some effort and determination you can go far with them.

Pure old school, gotta love those stripes! It's cool to still have models from early on in your model building adventure. 

Thank you! This one has never been modified or rebuilt since I put it together. For the moment I'm keeping it like this anyway!

Thanks! It's an older one, but it was fun to do this. And you're right, the 377 seems like the ugly ducking, not just in real life but also in modelling. Too bad, I really like them.

Can't go wrong with a day cab 379. 

Exactly!

Nice! Looks perfect paired up with the van.

Thank you! Indeed, it's a good combo.

This Peterbitl 379-127 I made in the last months for a Facebook Build-Off. Casey here asked me to do a blog about the building of this truck, you can find it on this site. The truck I'm calling done. P&P 379-127 parts (note the newer style mirrors and window sills, and therefore it has a newer style dash to match) and I think the big toolbox on the rear I got from P&P as well. Frame stretch, to manage a lift axle. Big Cat C15 under the hood. The C15 and lift axle are products by moluminum.com. Front and rear bumper are scratch built, the rear fenders are modified Revell of Germany items.

Sweet build!

OK thanks, gotta check it out...

Nice project!

Thanks! It's gonna be a long-term project, but I hope it's gonna be a true beast in the end.

Thanks!

Looking good!

Awesome work! Those kitbash-builds are always fun.

Update: Unibilt transition cut into sleeper front wall. Fits like a glove!

Sure will!

For a build-off on a facebook page I've started a new project. An '05 Peterbilt 379-127, using this Ultracab with correct Unibilt transition made by Eric Jones from P&P Vintage Kits. Plan is to put in a CAT C-15 under that long hood (made by P&P as well), although I'm seriously considering a Cummins ISX as well. 63" Standup sleeper and some other details. Since I have a double set of frame rails, a serious frame stretch is planned. I'm working on getting a lift axle, so either it's gonna be a heavy hauler or I'm just cowboying it up and put on custom rear fenders.

KFS has cool stuff. Sadly, lots of parts I got in the past isn't available anymore...

Looking sharp there!

Nice, looking good!

Interesting story, and it's gonna be a unique build. I'm gonna follow this!

Looking good!

Nice builds!

Casey, if I'm not mistaken, I got those two-holers from KFS. They came with hubs too.

Nice project!

Thanks man! Yeah, it's a pretty cool kit actually. Given its age...
