kilrathy10 Posted May 10, 2015 Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted May 10, 2015 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share 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 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Nice looking builds JT. You did a great job re-purposing the snap Pete decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorincebu Posted May 11, 2015 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted May 13, 2015 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
