Revelle Of Germany 359 Classic Large Car
FLD120 replied to FLD120's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
These come with the Revelle Of Germany 359 Peterbilt. These are just decals. -
Hello All, Been busy again with another build. It was a good build for the most part. My dad drove a truck very similar to this one except it did not have the 600 horse Cummins. His had the 425 3406 C. There have been changes but only suttell one's. For starts, the wheels. The wheels that come in this kit are ugly!!. I added the mobieus tires, I should have used the rims as well. The spacing between the duals are not correct, but still looks ok.The air filters are from the Italeria 378 long hauler kit. I added carpet to the floor so when the doors are open there is more to look at. This makes it more like the truck I remembered as a kid. Anyways here is the finished product, enjoy!!

New completed Prostar and Lonestar tractors
FLD120 replied to FLD120's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That's true! Lately I've been finding it hard to find two or five hole budd wheels. I was buying them from AITM and he is out of stock. I sent an e-mail to find out the status of when more would be available. I was informed maybe by February this year. Well February has came and gone, still shows "out of stock" and I wanted to finish it. -

the fleet......outside....
FLD120 replied to tbill's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice trucks. All looking great outside!! It's amazing how much better the paint jobs look in the natural sunlight. Right now I'm building the same Peterbilt 359 you have in your collection. Again nice work . -
New completed Prostar and Lonestar tractors
FLD120 replied to FLD120's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks JT. I can go both ways with the stacks. I was thinking of cutting the ones on the Lonestar but decided not to. My wife liked it better with the way they are now, I agree with her! -
Rusted old Autocar Dump Truck

Do you have any pictures to show of this kit to post? -

FLD120 replied to The Modeling Hermit's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Good colors and I like the wheels! One thing I found out is the trucks always look better with Dayton wheels or two hole Buds instead of the chrome 10 hole sets. Great build. -
Marmons set themselves apart from the rest and looked good, for a truck that was hand built (A.K.A the rolls-royce of trucks, meaning just like the car it was hand built) Looks Great!!

Prostar for the Fleet 90% Done
FLD120 replied to kilrathy10's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice job on this one JT!! I like how the black blends into the orange. How was this kit to put together? I never built anything by Moebius before. -
Jurgen, I can get some more up there of the tractor. I plan on adding a tool box between the tandems on the trailer and a headache rack to the tractor. But in the meantime I will add a couple of more. There are some areas that need to be finished up. When the items arrive that I want to add then I will finish it up and re-post an updated set of pictures.

Thanks JT. Any ideas are good ones. This is the reason why I joined this forum. I was visiting this site for about two months before and decided it was time to do so. This is a good place to get ideas and share some as well. So far just talking about the paint on this truck has brought up good suggestions for my next builds and be able to give them a try and see how it will look.
