  1. Hello,

    in 2017 i do not built up any US Truck. Made some WWI tanks and dioramas, but now I'm back. Sure you think, puh, the next Peterbilt, one of a million others. Yes, of course, I think so too. I built up this Revell of Germany Kit several times in my life and can't see it nor more longer. ;-) So I decided to give him a last chance and built my own Peterbilt anniversary edition in gold. Never ever i will build up this kit.

    Changes on this build were:
    Mudflaps, battery boxes, frame steps, cab guards, windshield wipers, dashboard, spokes of the steering wheel, backlights, headlights and turn signals are photechted parts from czechtruckmodel.
    The grille mesh, peterbilt logos and the reflectors at the fenders are photechted parts from MBM Munich.
    Rear fenders and air cleaners are from a Peterbilt 378 from Italeri.
    Wheels are from Moebius, the exhaust stacks were made from aluminium tubes.
    Color is Mayan Gold from General Motors.

    Have fun with the pictures and thank you very much for looking in.

    Best wishes for all of you, Michael

  2. Truck came out very nice. Are those the photo etch head lights too?

    Yes, those are from CTM too. They are available for AMT: http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php?id_product=96&controller=product

    and Revell Kits : http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php?id_product=95&controller=product

    Very nice work. This is a simple but effective conversion kit. Youve inspired me to order the PE set myself. 

    It is really worth the cost, but be aware for all the parts you need more than the conversion kit itself, i used :

    The conversion kit: http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php?id_product=110&controller=product

    Interior: http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php?id_product=108&controller=product

    Working Lights: http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php?id_product=105&controller=product

    Tail lights : http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php?id_product=91&controller=product

    and the front lights for Amt, see the link above

     

    I thank you all very much for your friendly comments and wish you a happy new year 2017.

  3. Hello Together, the last one for this year. A Hayes Clipper 100, Base Kit is the reissue Peterbilt 352 from Round 2, I used some kits from czechtruckmodel to convert it to a Hayes. I wish you peaceful christmas days and a happy new year 2017. The licence plate was corrected after i make the pictures. ;)

  4. My only feedback would be to weather the trailer sides some to tie it together with the weathered front and back and bring down some of the toylike shine to the chrome sides. Otherwise, looks great.

    You're right, that's the fault, next time i make it without any foil. Tank you all for your friendly comments.
