kilrathy10 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) A few of you may remember this build...Just didn't have a load, then.....This is one of the few I have done that is not orange...But, not to worry....I have plans for an orange version of this using the Ford Louisville hauler.......As alluded to in that thread, I was waiting for the F-150 Raptor to come out....Well, it's here, now, and I've built one to match the rig....I hope to get some outside pics of it, soon.....The Raptor was a fun build....For a snap, it was awesomely proportioned and everything fit....It even has mirrors....Something missing on most snap models.... Again, I cut up decals from the snap Pete.....Took a bit to see what I could do with them, but in the end, it was simpler than I could have imagined.... A full glue model with engine would be AWESOME, though....I didn't do anything to the rims, as I kinda wished the 1:1's had chrome wheels.....I know they don't come with chrome rims, but I like it this way....

Petetrucker07 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Nice job on both JT. I like the Italeri wheels on the truck. The Raptor looks cool.
kilrathy10 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Hey, thanks Clayton....I was still editing my post when you chimed in.....Thanks a lot, Man.....You, too, Terry...Thanks Man....Are you guys on the forum all night like me or what?? Edited May 10, 2015 by kilrathy10
Petetrucker07 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Till I can't keep my eyes open or I run out of things to do at the bench or I get to frustrated at the bench. I don't think I've ever looked at the forum on a computer, I'm always on my phone.
1959scudetto Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Nice combo, JT - have you ran out of orange yet?
Superpeterbilt Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Are you guys on the forum all night like me or what?? That small window of time between when I put my daughter to bed, and I pass out is usually spent browsing the days work on the forum. Other than that the only time I can get on the forum is all day long at work
towman1271 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Awesome looking pair..I love your imagination for trying new ideas
tbill Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 JT, another killer combo, although not signature orange, I like the colors just the same
kilrathy10 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks a lot, Boys....The Raptor was a lot of fun to build....I highly recommend the kit for anybody.....From the novice to the seasoned veteran.....I built it in only about 3 1/2 hours spread out over 3 days.... I intended to build it as a filler while waiting for paint to dry on my race trailer, but as I was building it, I couldn't stop....It even comes with tinted glass for the back half of the cab....This is a great kit, for a snap....Wish they'd offer a regular F-150, though....But this offering is Awesome, none the less....Already went to storage and dug out another one to do in orange.....

Tesla Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Nice looking builds JT. You did a great job re-purposing the snap Pete decals
gatorincebu Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 JT, By jove ole chap. You've done it again. A splndid job. I like the creativiyt with the decals! And this just proves that JT doesn't have to use orange paint to build a killer rig!! Be Well Gator
Kenny B Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 JT, Nice combo. I thought maybe you ran out of orange paint. Looks real nice. Ken.
BigBad Posted May 13, 2015 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) But... It's not... Orange! Well, it is blue! I like that solid look you gave it. The Italeri wheels, the front bumper and the side fairings make it look just so. Nice application of the Peterbilt stripes too. I like the race wedge and how you made the stripes continue on it from the cab. Very nice build! Edited May 13, 2015 by BigBad
kilrathy10 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks, Robert.....I appreciate that great feedback.....To be honest, I can't wait to do something similar in orange.....Bought two more cans the other day.....
gatorincebu Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks, Robert.....I appreciate that great feedback.....To be honest, I can't wait to do something similar in orange.....Bought two more cans the other day.....

Dirtracer22 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Wow! Great looking unit. Lots of hours in this one for sure. Really impressive.
