Another Pete 359 (AMT)

Well, here goes. I used to build alot of truck models as a teenager over 25 years ago. Here is my first one since then. It may look as gimpy as they did then but it was big fun now that I stopped building the real stuff (hot rods mainly) due to high cost.

I narrowed the bed and extended the front fenders. Also used nothing but super glue, and it shows. Hazed the painted surfaces and cab windows. Even tried my hand at BMF but the visor looks like it was crumpled up then half ass straightened back out with all its creases in the foil. Oh well, you live and learn.

Great paint man! Looks good. That took some time.

That's one of the nicest builds I've seen of that kit.

To avoid the wrinkles on visors, install it when painting, then foil it after the paint has cured. This way it won't flex when you're rubbing the foil on.

A really great build! Love the John Deere colors and decals! Looks nice! Nothing runs like a Deere you know!

I agree. Great build.

Thanks for the kinds words fella's. Also for your tip Tim. That makes good sense.
