Looking good Jeff. You just never know what Dave has hidden in his resin dungeon. I’ll be following

Here’s a 1/43 AMT Peterbilt 359 that I’m making into a Lumber Hauler instead of the Heavy Hauler. I plan on adding some after market parts that I have in the stash. These AMT TNT Peterbilts have always been one of my favorites of the whole AMT line of models.

Rex. I tried to build my very first one the Dannon Yogurt TNT combo when I was about six years old it was a disaster tried to hand paint it testors dark red I think my brother Bill took it over. Here’s a pic of the box top of my first attempt of these little jewels. I really would like to see AMT re-lease these but Heller Models I think have the molds and they altered the cab on the Pete 359 by adding stack brackets.

It was fun while it lasted till my hands and eyes started giving me trouble

Thanks Brian. I understand about the small scale this is like working in 1/25 compared to the 1/87 scale I worked in for years.

Jim. Thanks for the complement the tow truck is nice I have s few of those also. It would be nice to see these again especially with all the new 1/43 trucks there coming out with

Dan. I used Don Mills 1/48 wheels with the kit front snap ring. I also like these I still have several I plan on making a few truck and pup with these. Thanks for the complement.

Ronnie and Jeff thanks for the complement. They are pretty detailed

Here’s some 1/43 Peterbilt 359s I’ve been working on.

Vince. Very nice. But I sure don’t miss that fiddly scale

Nice start I like the colors

Nice

Nice I’ll be watching my Dad drove one back in the late 1950s on east to west coast runs.

Nice line up

Nice updates

Great job on the doors and air lines to the wedged breaks

Nice choice Sam

Seated and watching Brian

Looks great so far

Jerry. Nice updates your Engine looks great

Brian your too kind thanks for the complement and stopping by. I was on the fence about this color scheme but International always came up with some good mixed and matched colors

Thanks Jeff I’ll get the some pics when I’m ready to build it

Jim. Thanks for the complement I didn’t think it would with the green frame Jeff. Thanks for the complement. It’s been a fun build and I wonder if I could add the Dump trailer as part of this build?

Thanks JT if I can fine what I done with the wheels I’ll post it with wheels but I’ve missed placed them

I finished up some 1/32 trucks the first of the year when life was normal
