  1. Hello everyone and welcome to the start of another Peterbilt 359 snapper build thread. I have built several of these over the years and always am satisfied with my satisfactory builds. This one will be the most detailed one I have ever attempted. I will pirate some parts from the AMT Peterbilt Wrecker Re-pop to incorporate in this build. As always the color choice, and brand/type of paint is a struggle for me until I finally pin it down. Although I am probably leaning towards Acrylic lacquers (either Tamiya, or Testors One Coat's) That being said the start of this will be shelved until the temperature gets lower as I've tried to paint some parts earlier this week with some less than stellar results. Will post from time to time.

    Update on the build. Took a ton of time off since my last post. Here it is with the stripes laid down. Then with decaling done, and the frame in semi gloss black.

    AMT KW Kits

    To all, Hello and hope everyone is well. I have two AMT KW Conventional kits both bought within the last year. One purchased last May is the Alaskan Hauler, and the other is the W900 Challenge mixer. I know of the traditional issues involving the windows, and the rear suspension so that being said if anyone has built either, or both I could use pictures for reference on both of these kits. For the Alaskan I have already removed the left side air cleaner port, and filled in the holes for the left side exhaust stack. Have assembled the butterfly hood. Obviously I am going with the Hill & Hill livery. Just have to score the Green paint, and the Red paint. As far as the Challenge mixer goes I am unsure if I am building it as the mixer, or as an over the road tractor. If I go the tractor route I do have all the parts for a Mercury sleeper box. These in addition to the two AMT CO4070A's, and the Peterbilt 359 California Hauler in the stash should keep me busy. For a while. The true test is to avoid going on websites, or into Hobby Shops and picking anymore kits that I have no time to build. LOL. Thank you for looking. Kind regards, Jersee Jerry 55

    New Revell Snap W900

    Thank you. I appreciate it. It's a great kit lots of opportunities to expand on a number of different levels of building it your way.

    New Revell Snap W900

    The start of my "Orange Crate" 1980 KW W900 Aerodyne. The frame color is Testors One Coat Lacquer Flaming Orange. Interior is Krylon Leather Brown, with Craft Acrylic Burnt Orange for the seat Inserts and the sleeper blanket, and pillow. I will post more as I progress. Hoping for a completion tomorrow (or as close as I can get her). I have weathered the engine, and parts of the frame.

    New Revell Snap W900

    Okay so this project was put away for awhile but I just pulled her out again, this morning. Paint was laid down last year. This build is an outside my normal box that I do with truck kits. Should have maybe 80% of her done by EOD on Sunday. Will post pics at that point on my progress. Going out on a limb as I believe this may be the best "snap together" I've ever done. I love these kits.

    My newest project

    My newest project is one that I started last year. The new retooled AMT CO4070A. The color that I chose is Testors One Coat Lacquer De Ja Blue. I used the kit decals to replicate the box cover art albeit not Red. Will post as I progress on the model.

    Help needed

    Hi everyone hope all are well. I could use some help with assembly of the AMT Ford LNT8000 side mirrors. The instructions are vague and uncooperative. When I tried to put the middle bracket in it did not want to fit properly. Any suggestions/experiences will be extremely appreciated. Thank you. Regards, Jerry

    LA’s Awesome degreaser found at Dollar General. The tanks for the most part lost the chrome in about a couple of hours.

    Thanks. Axle assembly more or less done. Dechromed the tanks, and the exhaust stacks & air intake.

    Continuing the progress. Test fitting parts. So far so good. Next concern will be front axle with turnable wheels and the heat swage process.

    I also have the Rat Fink Transtar I’m getting in a trade. So that will give me another one that I can hem and haw over. Colors, livery, etc.
