I don't think it's wierd, but it's different and cool. I want to get the space shuttle with the boosters and launch crawler.

Thanks for the pics Chris. Some fine lookin builds there.

Thanks Gator, I'm not done with the interior yet, another process. The color combo did look nice together. It just didn't fit this build.

A little more done to the interior tub. I cut the seat boxes off. This allows the seats to sit on the floor. The 1:1 has Bostrom Wide Ride Lowriders in it. The last truck I drove had those seats in it, they are really nice seats, I miss that seat.

Seats are wrapped and painted.

I sprayed some green onto that body. I can't use this yellow. It looks to much like CAT yellow, which is too dark. Back on the search. Here's the engine painted the Tamiya yellow. Looks way too close to CAT yellow. I'm gonna spray some Tamiya pearl clear over it, that should change the tone, that and the real engine is yellow pearl.

That is really clean. Looks awesome Chuck. Very nice weekend build.

I'm hoping to get close to this. This is the interior of the real truck a few years ago. The last time I saw this truck in person, it had a painted to match aluminum floor, yellow and green flames. I'm gonna take a little creative freedom on the dash. I'm gonna paint the gauge and switch panels green with the dash being yellow.

While I'm waiting for the putty to cure, I started on the interior. I took the dash out of an Italeri Pete. I'm gonna modify it to fit the Revell tub, hopefully. I hope it comes out lookin close enough and like I just cut something up. Tell me what you think.

Awesome work so far. This is going to be nice truck when your done with it. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks Dennis. I got out an old body that will never get used to try out the paint. I'm not too sure about it. It seems a bit dark in the sunlight compared to the real truck in the sun. But it looks almost spot on to the real deal inside. Tell me what y'all think.

Very nice start. This will be an awesome build.

Nice pics Scott. Thanks for sharing. Looks like it was a great time.

That's right. Revell reissued a Peterbilt Wrecker last year, it was a limited run. It's discontinued already and the prices have already almost doubled. I'm glad I snatched up two, but wanted a few more. The recently reissued AMT Peterbilt, I'm grabbin those every chance I get, same with a few others, whether or not I end up building them.

Been there. I have 5 or 6 of different truck kits. I look at them and can't decide how I want to build any of them. Too many choices I guess.

Thanks Vince. Your cool guy, very understanding. Glad to.have traded, look forward to when we do again.

Awesome work you have goin on there Terry.

You are too kind man, I really do appreciate the compliments. I laid some putty down before I step away from the bench for the night. I filled the horns, the kit air breather, the kit lube finer and the first round of putty on the back of the cab. Oh, forgot I filled the turn signals on the fenders.

Thanks Carl.

Thanks man. I'm really trying to take my time and really do my best. I cut the wing windows out and altered the windshield per Tim's suggestion.

Next I'm gonna do a little putty work, filling the uneeded holes. Then I'll start measuring to cit in the back window. Oh, almost forgot to cut the wing windows out.

That looks like it's going straight to the port. Very nice.

Back at the bench finally. Been a long week. I threw a little primer on it today. I started sanding on it per Tim's instructions, to cheat it into a 379. Kurts remastered 255s look awesome on this. I also bought some Tamiya Chrome Yellow today. Tomorrow I might try it out with the green to see how it looks.

Looks pretty good, very nice. Great job on both.

Awesome!
