angelo7 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) This is a great kit to modify and learn new tricks. The box shown is this kit. This is my third one. It will be a single axle , day cab rig. I'm planning to paint the chassis red also but looking at these pictures, I'm beginning to like the white color. I even thought about a blue chassis. Not sure yet. I removed about 1 1/2 inches from the frame. The back of the cab is part of the sleeper made to fit and filled around with putty. Will get back with more pictures as I progress.

Petetrucker07 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 The white looks good. I did the same thing to my revell 359, about 1 1/2" out of the frame. Its a shame the 5th wheel plate is molded with the frame. Very cool little truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas Parchas Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Nice to see a snap tite converted to a single drive. Looking at it, red cab and white frame looks cool! Kostas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
