Pavel A. Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Hi all my friends. Here´re a few photos of my newest project: Pete 352. I started with chassis, and also some "wiring and plumbing". Air vents are products of kfs. Binders are photoetched parts from Czech Truck Model. Electroinstalation will come later. I´ll use decals from Modeltruckin, Z-stripes. Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckabilly Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Nice work, buddy. I like the plumbing and weathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel A. Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) So, engine is here. I decide for white colour of engine´s body and the gearbox will be red. Some weathering on it (mig dark wash and rust). I add some "retiring" wiring...and also some binders from CTM. Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A.

mackinac359 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 On the 5th wheel, it looks good. The slide plate used to be solid back in the day because that was pretty much all they knew how to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavel A. Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Some news in this project. I worked on exhaust system. I don´t like the original system from box, That I made new one. New (after my idea) is also console which is holding this system. I decided to make exhauts little bit longer (in upper part). I like it... Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A.

Jim B Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Looks pretty cool. Just be careful with your height - no more than 13ft 6" from the road surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel A. Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Jim big thanx. I don' t know about this informations. I must change it to european scale. And it is 4 meters from surface of the road. After changing to the 1/25 scale it is maximum of 16 centimeters. My 352 is 15.8 centimeters height from surface. It is on border.... this is for me very valuable information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 13 ft 6 inches is 4 meters and 11.48 centimeters to be exact and converted to 1:25th scale it's 16.45 centimeters, any higher than that you will hit bridges, overpasses and tunnel roofs...but with your model being 15.8 centimeters you're good to go.
