Sam, This is looking superb so far. I really like the attention to detail and the weathering is perfect.

Very Impressive so far. That engine looks great, looks like an NTC400 Big Cam 4.

Beautiful looking truck. Very Impressive indeed.

Very Nice indeed!! I like it.

Excellent build!

Making hinges for the T500 359 is not difficult, but can be a bit tricky so care is required. Interestingly I am just in the process of building the AMT T501 Peterbilt 359 (1100 series cab) which has hinges. I extended the fenders at the front because the kit ones were too short and then found that the hinges don't work. So I ended up making hinges for this one as well.

Chuck, "The Road Commode" That is so funny.

This is a marvellous project. The workmanship and attention to detail is excellent!

Excellent build! Very impressive colour scheme. I like it.

A few years ago I bought 4 off 379 conversions from Matt Burnett (Monkeyclaw). They are still in the bags awaiting the inspiration to build them. Matt offered 4 versions of the long hood 379, a day cab, standard 63" sleeper, walk in sleeper and high roof cab. All kits have all the parts needed I assume to convert the Italeri 378 into the 379 including the correct dash, hood, grill and other items. The hood is slightly wider than the AMT T500 hood so I am assuming that they are for the Italeri 1/24 kits, but I could be wrong.

Eric at P &P has the extended hood for the AMT 359 T500 and T501 kit. The hood is based on a 1972 model so is ok for a little window and the 2200 series cabs.

Excellent! Superb building and weathering skills.

Excellent! Great looking truck with some nice weathering skills.

The more I look at these two trucks the more like them! The paint scheme on the W900 is exceptional and very well applied. Excellent job well done.

I like both builds. The colours are perfect.
