Pavel A. Posted December 25, 2013 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.
kilrathy10 Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Yeah, Man....This bad boy is looking good, already....That's a lot of detail, there, Man.....
Bowtienutz Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Nice work Pavel, hope your planing a wild Winslow striped paint scheme. I've always liked your work. I'll be following along on this one.
Jim Whalen Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Hi, Nice start on the chassis - your work is always top notch so I am looking forward to watching this one progress.
Pavel A. Posted December 26, 2013 Author Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Today´s little update. Chassis is in colour - Sky Blue. Of course, some weathering - not yet finished. Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A.
truckabilly Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Nice work, buddy. I like the plumbing and weathering.
Pavel A. Posted December 28, 2013 Author 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.
Pavel A. Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 (edited) I tried to rework fifth wheel. It is not under some original, it´s only under my idea... Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A.
kilrathy10 Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Looking pretty awesome, Pavel....Pretty awesome....
Pavel A. Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Some photos from my today´s work with alclad... Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A.
Pavel A. Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Chassis is ready, just on 95%... Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A.
tbill Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 amazing work as usual, outstanding job so far! beautiful........
mackinac359 Posted January 10, 2014 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.
Pavel A. Posted January 21, 2014 Author Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) So I started work on interior.... only some photos. Edited December 10, 2014 by Pavel A.
Pavel A. Posted February 4, 2014 Author 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 Posted February 4, 2014 Looks pretty cool. Just be careful with your height - no more than 13ft 6" from the road surface.
Pavel A. Posted February 4, 2014 Author 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.

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.
