ghoodii Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Been building, just not posting..... This started with the leftover frame rails from my 379 that I lengthened. I had two short sections....so daycab it is. Combined with resin pieces from FGmodel for the raised roof and extended rear daycab panel. Also wide front rims and tires from KFS. The rest is from the Italeri 377 kit with lots of detailing and scratch building. This is going to pull a scratch built "Walker" stainless milk tanker Thanks for looking.....comments welcome
Old Buckaroo Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I really like this, what a sharp looking truck.
ghoodii Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 olsbooks.....No, that is the visor from the kit.... Jim B......FBmodels is a Korean aftermarket.....bought the two pieces of Ebay...... Thanks for looking
tbill Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 looking good! might see this running thru Oneida on it's way to the Hood plant in town.
ghoodii Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Could be.....I know exactly where that plant is.....my brother in law is the pastor at St.Pauls United Methodist Church on Sayles St.....
KJ790 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Nice! I have been to that plant many times, looks just like one of their fleet. Good job!
flat-top Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Very nice, good looking day cab Peterbilt.
GeeBee Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Superb build, I built the 377 many years ago and it's a nice model to put together ...
ghoodii Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 The beginnings of the milk tanker.....2" PVC pipe and a lot of .040 "for sale" sign..... http://s1241.photobucket.com/user/truck429/slideshow/Peterbilt%20377%20Day%20cab More pictures soon....and it should make sense....
goodwin3224 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Interested in the milk tanker. Can't wait to see more of that...your truck looks amazing as well.
kilrathy10 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Looks great, so far....The tanker is coming along well, I see, too....
slusher Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Truck looks great, looking forward to the tanker..
Kostas Parchas Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Nice Peterbilt you have there, I love it!!! I am wacthing for the trailer too. Kostas.
ghoodii Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 Some pictures of the tanker....I get building and forget to take pictures of the progress....so there is a big jump from the first pictures. At this point, it is 100% scratch built....I will be using the suspension from the Lindberg tanker and wheels from an Italeri donor
Kostas Parchas Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 WOW!!! This is gonna be great!!! Very creative and inspirational too. Well done. Kostas.
ghoodii Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 That will be the next build.....The "Chips Ahoy" or "Keebler" truck. LOL
Chariots of Fire Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Like your scratch building! Very nice work!
ghoodii Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 That means alot coming from you....Thank you very much.
