purepmd Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Hey Guys, been a while since I have had something to post, but recently I have been getting my styrene on. I wanted something a little different than a petroleum tanker, and for those of you in the Phoenix area, suburbs anyway, EPCOR is one of the water utilities there. I used some SUNOCO decals I had for awhile to cut out the logos, (each 'O' is 10 pieces), and for the trailer stripes as well. The tractor stripes are from Jerry at Modeltruckin. Moebius wheel sets, and a little extra wheelbase, and TADA. Â Â Â Edited July 4, 2019 by purepmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purepmd Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thank you Gentlemen, I appreciate all the kind words. DJ, you are so right, maintaining a perfect arc, with wedges of decal film, is an experience. Jurgen, that occurred to me as well. After seeing a couple of Peterbilt factory photos of all white, frame and all, and thought 'why not'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So quick question on the Moebius set did you have to drill out the front wheels to fit the axle? I think the rears will fit the Revell drive axles with no issue just like the kit set.

purepmd Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 A big Thank You to all who have viewed and responded to this post. I appreciate the feedback. Jerry, the Moebius wheels are a little small for the axle pins on the Revell axles. The conical lock for the snap together assembly method is just on the far side of forcing it together. Now I did mine the hard way, I wrapped the pins with some 180 grit auto body sand paper. and worked it back an forth until the wheels slid on. At first, I just snipped off the lock, but that makes the disappear under the fenders way to far. The total you need to remove is, probably, .020, give or take a bit. Not much, but enough to complicate things if you don't. Hope this helps. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
