DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm looking forward to this one! The smaller scale will be interesting. I built the wrecker when I was 12, but I don't remember much about the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Cool project. Never built any of those kits. Good size for display space. But way to small for my big clumsy fingers. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) It will be great to see this come together. It's been waiting a long time. It's looking really good. Great job you've done. I love the box art on this kit. I painted mine in that scheme when I built it all those years ago and still would love to do a 359 in those colours. When I get around to my Snaptite 359 I'll do it like that I think. Edited January 23, 2023 by Rockford Text corrected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decals are Black Red instead of the Brown and Red. You should build that scheme in 1/32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete68 Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 I got quite a bit done today on the Pete. Finished the interior, painted the sleeper and Engine added the bumper and did a mock up. The steering wheel I sanded it down to a more realistic look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Looks great. Correct white on the engine too. What a great little kit this is. I notice you're not using the kit wheels...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No your right the front wheels are some Don Mills 1/48 that I’ve customize and the rear are from a New Ray Collection. Thanks for the complement.
