Welcome Greg!! ...From a fellow modeler from the Arlington, Wa. area...A great place for ideas and information.....

Glad to hear the Big D is out of the way.....What part of Washington are you from.....I am up by the Arlington Wa. area

This is going to look good...Nice bumper...The Moose is Loose.LOL!!

Yes Scott, I live about 30 miles N.E. of Arlington up in the mountains. FYI there is a model show in Puyallup in May sometime In case you are interested....It is at the Elks Club

Hi Scott, Nice looking build you got going on there. looking forward to seeing progress/ finished product. keep us posted ...Where abouts in Washington are you from...?

Very nice work...looks great!!!!!

looking good so far...Sorry you have encountered flaws with the parts...It is either that or you get warped parts or excessive flahing...or better yet missing parts

Hi Jesse, I will give you my 2 cents worth on this topic and hopefully it will help. Yes I have built several of these California haulers before... I have also built several of the revell Peterbilt 359 snap tites and they are easy to build with good detail. What I like to use for the stretch is use pieces of original frame rails from the same kit. easy for me since I have plenty of those. I usually try to make the cut where there are no cross members involved and usually under the sleeper if you plan on using one. I have used some round sprue stock for the driveline or you could use some round plastic tubing from local hobby shop in that size. What i would do is cut the u-joint ends off original driveline and put them on new driveline. Also as for covering the new lengthened area I usually use some diamond plate from Don Mills or just use some plastic sheeting and cut to to size. Length and width. If I use diamond plate I will baremetal foil it and If I use regular flat plastic stock I sometimes paint it same color as as the frame or what ever your choosing might be...Hope this helps...I am sure others have their own way of doing this, ... Some when they cut the frame rails cut them at an angle on both ends,,,,I usually just cut them straight and together at the same time...Make sure you re-inforce the inside and over lap the seems for added strenght...Good Luck...Here is a picture of my " Project 350 "

Looks real to me...You out did yourself on detail and weathering...Looks great!!!!!

Nice build for a week long project...Those snappers are great...unlimited what you can do...Nice paint job

Hello Ruben, Welcome aboard. Happy to have you!!!!

Welcome earl, I too am from washington Sate...Welcome. I live in the North end and build semi trucks also. Great place to learn and see some great models by fellow modelers

Eat your heart out J.T. I got to see this model close up Sunday at our monthly model club meeting...It is all of that picture and more. The builder is our club president and as you can see detail is the name of the game here. Even I have not had a chance to see the trailers. Really looking forward to the finished project. I will talk him into posting more pics especially front ones.......

Nice job. really looks good. I really like the single stack look....You don`t see that much anymore especially on model trucks.....Looks good

I tried texting him but no luck, also tried calling but says that number is no longer in service. Tried to email but no answer. I am sure all is good probably just trying to get re-situated. Hope to hear from him soon. Will keep trying....

Welcome aboard Mike. You will have fun here I hope...I am sure you will

Nice save Kurt, and especially for being patient. Projects like this sometimes end up going air born... know what I mean...Looking forward to finished product

Thank you for letting me know. It all started back in April of 2015. He wanted another Volvo re-issue plus another set of decals from that Volvo. He said he would trade an Italeri Peterbilt 378 original issue and a new chrome mercury sleeper new. I sent my items within the week. I never heard from him from then on. When I finally decided to get a hold of him he gave me the hardship story and I totally understood, it does happen. This was about 8 months ago. I was in no rush so I just said ship them when you can. he did say he had them but had no time to go to post office. I got a hold of him some months later and then he said he was sorry for letting a fellow modeler and especially a fellow trucker down like me. that was a month ago. nothing in the mail. Again after our short talk he said he would put them in the mail that Monday. Still no package. I figured him for a straight shooter since he is always piping on on every post especially about Peterbilts. i did not want to post it on bad trade list but did not want anyone else going thru what you and I have gone thru. Thank you for telling me this.....Lucas

Did a trade deal with Petetrucker07 Clayton Scheiber 18 months ago. I shipped my end of the deal in a week. Still have not received his end of deal. Everytime I get a hold of him he promises to have it in the mail that Monday. will never deal with him again..........

Go Large or go home...it certainly is " Large " Nice detail and it looks good with that lowered stance......Awesome!!!!!

Welcome Mitch, from Darington, Wa. Warm enough for you. happy 4th.........

Congrats Clayton.....On both your wins , a new Son and trophies to boot!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice old Jimmy. I still recall first time I drove one . I could not believe how big the front windows were. .....Looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That 369 is bad to the bone!!!!!!
