Interesting build. Do you know if the body was a Thomas or Bluebird? I drove both back in the late 70's, I always like the Thomas built bodies. They were more squared off, the Bluebirds had more rounded corners etc. It was always easier to drive the square body Thomas. The old Loadstar hoods with no power anything and a 4 speed manual turned pretty good. The S hoods just started and I got to drive one of them with power steering and a 5 speed. Didn't turn anywhere near as tight as the older ones.

Looks good, I don't think I've built a kit yet that something didn't need to be straightened or otherwise un-warped. -

Looks like one of the PE detail sets for the COE has badges. Kinda expensive but my experience with CTM PE has been nothing but good. ST Supply looks like them stock them, Jamie might have them also. -

Looks good, I agree that the badge for the front is garbage, I had to do a lot of work on the 2 GMC's I've built so far. Maybe one of CTM detail kits would work? -

Nice work, I like the blue one! Good job on the paint. -
Thanks Tom, coming from someone with your skills it means alot! Thanks, maybe some light wear, enough to rub the paint off the blade and tracks!

1950’s Peterbilt cabover
Warren D replied to Dutzie's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks great! Is that the stock Pete wrecker chassis? -
Thanks Guess I don't know them... Thanks Thanks Thanks, I seem to like beefy stuff! Thanks, though when I was growing up, no real dozer operator would run one with a cab....they thought having protection gave the operator a false sense of security.

Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks, yes an update would be welcome.

ROPS from Jamie, Grille is Czech Trucks (CTS), might have been from STS. Tracks were off the internet, I won't mention the vendor as they aren't pleasant to deal with. Their website says ships in 7 days. 10 weeks later, nothing. They don't respond to e-mails. Maybe 6 months later you'll get your order.

Winch is in, cleaned, painted and installed. Calling it done: -
Calling this one done. Last parts finally came in so I got 'er done. CTS PE grille set and interior, lights. Winch and ROPS from Jamie. Aftermarket tracks. Paint is Pollyscale, color custom mixed. For some reason, there is now a slight green tint in the pics. Color is supposed to be yellow, has a touch of orange if anything.
