MustangGuy23 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I am going to convert the Revell 1/25 Peterbilt 359 kit into a motorhome that will be used to pull my 36' Galaxie Limited tag-along race trailer. I got my Galaxie trailer kit last week. I wanted to see what it looked like so I did a mockup using scotch tape. I ordered my Peterbilt kit today and it should be here Wednesday. Any suggestions on a color scheme? I want to use silver somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm with you, Chris...The only thing out is the Ford F-650 and it's metal...I managed to get one, but I haven't even opened it, yet...The Galaxies build up nice....I just built one last week, but it was the gooseneck...I have the tagalong, but when I build it, there will be some modifications made....Can't wait till you get to work on this one, Mike....I have a Pete toter home that I've sidelined, for now, but You've given me a little spark to get busy and finish it....Good luck on your build...I'll be watching...

stewart Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Plan sounds great. I'd love to see it. STewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangGuy23 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks! I'm really looking forward to working on it. Unfortunately I'm gonna be really busy for a while so progress will be slow. I'm one of the few young modelers (18) and graduation is coming up! But then I'll have all summer to model away!

clavender17 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Man i graduated at semester and have been hitin the bench hard bouncing from bigrigs to sprint cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangGuy23 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I haven't gotten much work done, but I got my Pete kit this week and did a mockup with the trailer. It'll be about 3 ft long when finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Are you keeping the truck tandem or single axle? How did you make the hitch for the trailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangGuy23 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 I haven't decided if I'm going tandem or single yet. I originally just put one on for the picture, but I kinda like how it looks. And I haven't made the hitch yet. It's just resting there. There is a hitch that comes with the trailer and I think it may work. I'll post a pic later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clavender17 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'd stay with single axle ! Tandem axle would prolly look to busy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustangGuy23 Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 So it's been about 2 months since I've touched the bench. School's been crazy and I'm a manager on my school's baseball team. But with 9 school days left and graduation around 3 weeks away, I should have more time to hit the bench soon. Anyone have any motivational words for me?
