drinkone2 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 That's a nice 352 Ken! Did you scratch the grab handles or are they the ones from the snap Pete? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Jim, all of those trucks are excellent! I dont know which one I like best. The matching Petes are pretty killer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So far, this is the only Class 8 COE I've got- AMT White Freightliner Dual Drive I built about five years ago. It was the first semi tractor model I ever built. I did not fix the too-tall headlights or too-wide front axle on this one. I'm currently working on another one. This one will be a short-wheelbase Michigan Special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) This is not mine, it's my friend Claude Boulais' Peterbilt, this one can't be hidden from view! Some of you have seen already, probably at NNL a couple weeks ago... An absolutely beautiful piece, started from an AMT 352, stretched the cab to 110", added some height as well and ended up with a 352H! There is a resin 12V71 DD under the cab, the rear suspension and diff are from the Revell 359, quarter fenders, rear flap mounts and front bumper are all aluminum scratch built(!!) parts. The rims are off an AMT Kenworth. Paint work is off the charts! Aerodyne... This truck is absolute eye candy, viewed up close!

caddyambulance Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks for sharing some awesome builds! If AMT made it in the 70's, I built it - from the Alaskan Hauler Kenworth to the Mack Cruiseliner and too many American LaFrance pumpers to mention, all my allowance went to the hobby store for kits, glue and paint. Seeing the work here leads me to believe that I was a glue bomb specialist. But at the ripe old age or 10, what could you expect. Believe it or not, they didn't get thrown in the trash. All my builds are in boxes in a storage unit and have been for decades. As much as I would like to see what they look like, I'm sure their condition would only make a grown man cry. Thanks again for bringing back many memories of my childhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejunkman Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Nice builds! I was hoping to see a Two Story Falcon in here. We have one, and I got to say I hated driving it, rough rider especially on dirt and would always get stuck in the field back when we had cattle. I suppose some loved them. It now sits in the pasture with the other retired equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
