Peterbilt 359

Hey everyone, well this is the first model in a coupe month break. I found my new lve diesels. Once I get a little further today I'll post pics for yu guys.
Thanks,
DAVID

I just saw this kit toady and was thinking of getting it, but I got the c6 z06 vette instead. Tell me this is a revell of germany kit....are the instructions in german or are they translated? How does the kit look. good moulds or lots of flashing and body work needed?

instuructions are in english and the molding is almost perfect one of the best kits ive gotten.

and finnaly pics.

Nice one! I build one of those ages ago...

I'd go with the shorter pipes, though...

Ummm maybe thanks though1 No one else??

finaly a truck.. you don't see to many off them here. I hope you pu a lot of effort in it. But those exhausts really look to big. To long and to thick..

Im starting to think there to big to and thanks.

^ yep. it would look better.

thanks keep em coming.

Lookign good so far, so you have any plans for the colour yet. I myself would go with the sorter pipes. Keep the pics coming!

Thinking dark blue not sure though.

blue would be nice. I would also maybe go w/ a burnt orange color. I think it would go well w/ the chrome.

Oh wow yeah thanks.

There 9 inch pipes.

Here is what I hope it will kind of look like except in Burnt Orange.

a little more which stack is better?

any one?? More progress tonight later.

Dave, see if you can do a couple of side-on shots. Just change the stacks for each photo. Personally I would go with the shorter one. In the photo of the real truck, to me the proportions are wrong. You look more at the stacks than appreciating the truck.

Mal

Thae smaller stack looks better in my opinnion.

Wow they are really big looking i have some more of the pipe on the left i am going to use. I think there going to be straight cut instead of slant.

Looking good!

P.S.-Short stacks look good.

Thanks more later today a big progress. well kind of.

+1 on the smaller stack.

And for a little more im going to be gone till next wednesday so some more progress the.

a car?

C'mon people.

Looking good so far. So you decided on a color yet? I think the front bumper is too big, but maybe its just the pics.

Tanks everyone. It is going to be a while till I start up on this again I have to get to work on a customers car so I can get some money. Thanks for the support every one.
